Descrizione
The Earthquaker Devices Night Wire is a harmonic tremolo effect in an attractive stomp box housing. It splits up your guitar signal by means of low-pass and high-pass filters, and then modulates it using a low-frequency oscillator (LFO). The filters can be adjusted to suit different tones, and there are three modes to choose from: Manual, Attack and LFO. Manual mode uses a fixed frequency; basically what you'd expect from the standard tremolo. In Attack mode, the tremolo responds to the dynamics of your playing, while the LFO mode continuously switches frequencies. It's even possible to use the Night Wire as an envelope filter! This Earthquaker Devices stomp box is powered by means of a 9-volt battery or adapter.
Earthquaker Devices
The American company Earthquaker Devices originated in 2004, more or less by accident. When devoted musician Jamie Stillman broke one of the potentiometers on his favourite overdrive pedal, he decided to fix it himself. Once he opened up the pedal, he quickly got the hang of the circuitry, which induced him to start creating his own stomp boxes. Stillman turned out to be very talented, and it wasn't long before other musicians started using his pedals. From 2004 to 2010, Stillman was tour manager and guitar tech for the Black Keys, and partly responsible for Dan Auerbach's sound. In 2005 he launched Earthquaker Devices, which by now has grown into a sizeable company that manufactures handwired, boutique-style guitar effect pedals for a very reasonably price. Built by musicians, for musicians!
