Amp Hammer
EarthQuaker Devices' Amp Hammer is a unique and versatile boost/preamp pedal that can breathe new life into your amp and transform your guitar tone. Unlike traditional boost pedals that simply crank up the volume, the Amp Hammer is designed to push your amplifier into rich, harmonically complex overdrive territory. At its core, the Amp Hammer utilizes a carefully voiced preamp circuit that mimics the behavior of a vintage tube amp's input stage. As you turn up the Gain knob, you'll experience a smooth, musical breakup that adds depth and character to your sound. The Tone control allows you to sculpt the high-end response, while the Level knob provides precise control over the output volume. What sets the Amp Hammer apart is its ability to coax incredible tones from a wide range of amps, from clean headroom-laden combos to high-gain stacks. It's been spotted on the pedalboards of renowned guitarists like J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., who rely on the pedal to thicken up their sound and push their amplifiers into glorious, touch-sensitive distortion. Whether you're looking to fatten up a clean tone, add some grit to your lead lines, or simply take your amp to the next level, the EarthQuaker Devices Amp Hammer is a must-try pedal for any discerning guitarist. Its unique blend of boost and preamp functionality makes it a versatile tool that can inspire new creative possibilities in your playing.
