The Earthquaker Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

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.

Specifications

  • Extremely interactive medium-high gain discrete transistor-based distortion
  • Passive 3-band EQ tuned for modern dirt tones 
  • Weight control that dictates the amount of low end that is passed into the circuit
  • Capable of being articulate and/or crushing on both guitar and bass
  • Wide range of tones available – not just high gain distortion
  • All-analogue signal path
  • True bypass
  • Silent relay-based switching with Flexi-Switch Technology
  • Powered by regular 9-18 V DC PSU (centre -, 2,1 mm, ~10 mA current draw)

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Dynamic. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
