Introducing the EarthQuaker Devices Gary, a fuzz effects pedal that masterfully balances chaos and control, crafted in collaboration with Idles guitarist Lee Kiernan. This pedal is a powerhouse of tonal versatility, merging pulse width modulation fuzz with a dynamic natural overdrive, offering guitarists an expansive sonic palette. Whether you're diving into metal, punk, or exploring blues and psych rock, Gary's dual controls allow you to sculpt your sound with precision.

On the right, the pedal unveils a ferocious square wave fuzz, where the Yes! control dynamically adjusts the envelope sensitivity, letting you modulate the pulse width for everything from thick, sustaining tones to biting, aggressive riffs. Engage an expression pedal for hands-free control, perfect for live performances and creative studio sessions.

The left side of Gary channels the spirit of classic amp overdrive.
