Amp Hammer II
EarthQuaker Devices' Amp Hammer II is a masterful fusion of vintage tone and modern versatility, a pedal that can transform your guitar's voice in captivating ways. At its core, the Amp Hammer II is a powerful boost and preamp, but it's so much more than a simple gain stage. Inspired by the legendary British amplifiers of the 1960s, this pedal captures the rich, harmonically complex character that made those amps so beloved. With its carefully voiced EQ and dynamic response, the Amp Hammer II can push your amp into glorious, touch-sensitive overdrive, or it can function as a pristine clean boost, adding heft and clarity to your tone. But the real magic happens when you start to explore the pedal's more advanced features. The Blend control allows you to mix the boosted signal with your dry guitar tone, giving you unprecedented control over your overall sound. The Presence knob lets you fine-tune the high-end response, sculpting your tone to fit perfectly in the mix. Guitarists in search of that elusive "sweet spot" between clean and dirty will find the Amp Hammer II to be an indispensable tool. It's been spotted on the pedalboards of acclaimed artists like J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., who rely on its ability to coax rich, harmonically-complex tones from their rigs. Whether you're looking to push your amp into glorious saturation or just need a killer clean boost, the Amp Hammer II is a must-have addition to any discerning guitarist's arsenal.
