Description
The EarthQuaker Devices Zoar Dynamic Audio Grinder is a highly interactive distortion pedal with a powerful, amp-like sound. While its all-analog signal path gives it a familiar-sounding growl, it's finely tuned to dish out a killer hi-fi distortion, giving it a delightfully unique character. If you've been searching for a snarling dirt pedal that can deliver anything from a tight, sparkling overdrive to a muscular medium-gain fuzz, the Zoar is an excellent choice.
The Zoar has a versatile six-knob interface that allows musicians to fully customize their sound. For starters, it has a 3-band EQ specially designed to achieve modern distortion tones - with these few knobs alone, players can dial in a wealth of mind-blowing sounds, from bright and tinny to thick and saturated.
In addition to the EQ section, the Zoar features a Gain knob with a wide sweep. Set it low for a subtle overdrive, or crank it for a brutal, speaker-shredding crunch. If you need something heavier, start turning up the Weight control - this knob lets users adjust the amount of low end that passes through the circuit. Need a simple clean boost? Keep the Weight below noon. Crave a gut-punching hi-fi fuzz? Crank the Weight control and experience total sonic mayhem.
But that's not all - the Level control sets the Zoar's volume and plays a pivotal role in shaping its voice. By tweaking the Level control in tandem with the treble, mid, and bass knobs, you can unlock a treasure trove of unique tones and EQ curves.
For those seeking to kick things up a notch, try running the Zoar at 18V DC. You'll experience a whole new sound that's tighter, punchier, and more defined.
The EarthQuaker Devices Zoar Dynamic Audio Grinder is a top-notch analog distortion pedal with a wonderfully distinctive sound. Check it out today if you've been searching for a phenomenal dirt pedal with a wealth of aggressive distortion tones on tap!
