EarthQuaker Devices Brings Back the Bellows Fuzz Driver in Limited Legacy Run
Earthquaker Devices has announced a limited-edition Legacy reissue of the Bellows Fuzz Driver, which was originally launched in 2016 and discontinued in 2019. Seven years later, EQD writes that the pedal has gained a cult following from bassists. The streamlined fuzz circuit leaves the full frequency response of the input intact, eliminating the low-end scoop we often face from fuzz and distortion.
“I really wanted to have something simple in our line that had that blown out tweed edge but still had clarity and sustain and could also get into heavily saturated fuzz territory and the Bellows filled that void perfectly,” EarthQuaker Devices Founder & President Jamie Stillman said. “While I initially developed it for guitar, I feel like it really excels on bass. It retains the big bottom end and biting crunchy top end without overly accentuating or scooping the mids.”
Earthquaker explained in 2016 that the Bellows is a “back-to-basics, transistor-based dirt device” that’s not modeled on anything in particular. It features a simple Drive and Level control configuration.
