Description
The Earthquaker Devices Zoar Dynamic Audio Grinder Pedal is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
The Earthquaker Zoar is a very reactive medium-high gain distortion pedal. It has been finely tuned to create a highly tweakable hi-fi and modern sounding distortion tones, but with the ghosts of old school circuitry to deliver a grind that is both instantly familiar and delightfully unique.
From defined sparkle and tightness of an overdrive to low-medium gain fuzz that’s perfect for drop tuned guitars and basses, Zoar can do it all. Zoar lets you dial in and control every nuance of your tone from on-the-verge of break up to in-your-face heavy saturation.
Control
The pedal has six knobs that allow you to truly customize your sound using the Level, Weight, Gain, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls.
The Gain control on Zoar goes from the edge of break up all the way to a full on grind. The character of the distortion is heavily dependent on the setting of the Weight control as well as the pickup type and further fine-tuned by the EQ section.
The Level control hits unity around noon, but this is dependent on where the other controls are set. In addition to controlling the output volume, it also plays a small part in controlling the voice of Zoar.
Key Features
- Weight Control – This control dictates the amount of low end that is passed into the circuit, thus controlling the entire character of the pedal, meaning that you have plenty of creative ways to dial in the exact style of Gain needed.
- Power up to 18V! – The Zoar can handle up to 18V of power, resulting in different frequency responses with more defined dynamics and a faster response.
