The EarthQuaker Devices Special Cranker: Analog Distortion with Natural Character
The EarthQuaker Devices Special Cranker is an all-discrete analog distortion enhancement device designed to add rich grit and boost to your signal without sacrificing the natural tone and character of your amplifier. Imagine adding an extra preamp tube to your amp for enhanced saturation—this is what the Special Cranker delivers. It’s perfect for players seeking more saturation and harmonics without losing the nuances of their original tone. Whether you want to fatten up single notes with singing sustain or add crunch to power chords, the Special Cranker ensures that your sound remains dynamic and responsive.
Versatile Gain and Tone Controls
The Special Cranker offers an intuitive control layout to shape your distortion:
Level: Adjusts the overall output volume, with unity gain typically between 10-12 o'clock depending on your diode selection.
More: Controls the gain, adjusting the bias of the transistor for more or less saturation. At maximum gain, this knob can create overbiased tones that respond uniquely to your playing dynamics.
Diode Selector: Choose between Germanium diodes on the left for a softer, more transparent tone or Silicon diodes on the right for a brighter, more modern edge.
Tone: Adjusts the high frequencies, rolling off highs when turned counterclockwise and boosting them when turned clockwise. A flat response can be found around 3 o’clock.
These controls allow you to dial in everything from subtle grit to full-blown distortion while retaining the clarity and complexity of your original sound.
Flexi-Switch® Technology for Ultimate Control
The Special Cranker features Flexi-Switch® Technology, providing both momentary and latching operation:
Latching Mode: Tap the footswitch once to engage the effect and tap again to bypass.
Momentary Mode: Hold the footswitch down to activate the effect for as long as desired, then release to bypass.
This versatile switching style, combined with the pedal’s true bypass relay-based design, ensures a seamless transition between clean and effected tones.
Key Features:
All-Discrete Analog Design: Adds natural saturation and grit without sacrificing the character of your tone.
