Description
Step into the realm of sonic exploration with the EarthQuaker Devices Bellows, a pedal that seamlessly bridges the gap between overdrive and fuzz. Its minimalist design belies a vast spectrum of tones, capable of delivering everything from a warm, gritty overdrive to a deep, commanding fuzz. The Bellows stands out as not just an effect pedal, but an instrument in its own right, inviting musicians to rediscover their sound. True-bypass circuitry ensures your tone remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged, while the relay footswitch promotes silent operation, making this pedal a considerate companion both on stage and in the studio. Whether you're dialing in a subtle drive to warm up your clean tone or pushing it to the limits for a full-bodied fuzz, the Bellows is your gateway to aural delight.
Key Features:
- Wide gain range, from low-gain overdrive to bass-heavy fuzz
- True-bypass circuitry with relay footswitch for silent operation
- Minimalist design for easy use and versatility
- Capable of serving as both an overdrive and a fuzz pedal

AB: What is your current rig – guitars, amps, drum machines, synths, and pedals?
MM: My band is Ahmoudou Madassane who plays rhythm guitar and sings, Mikey Coltun who plays bass, and Souleymane Ibrahim who plays the drums. With my Fender Stratocaster I use a D’Addario pedal tuner, Boss OD-3, EarthQuaker Devices Hoof and Bellows, Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone, Boss DD-6 which runs stereo into two Roland Jazz Chorus 120s. I use D’Addario strings.

MM: In 2017 I got my first pedal. I like that I can get more sounds out of the guitar with pedals.
