EarthQuaker Devices Gary Automatic Pulse Width Modulation Fuzz and Dynamic Natural Overdrive Effects Pedal Cream and Orange

Meet Gary, your new go-to pedal for tonal versatility. Created in collaboration with Lee Kiernan from the band Idles, Gary combines the power of pulse width modulation fuzz with natural dynamic overdrive. Inspired by EarthQuaker Devices' discontinued Gray Channel, Gary offers a modern take with a darker, more aggressive edge. Whether you're looking for thick, sustaining fuzz or a smooth drive, Gary delivers dynamic, interactive tones that adjust to your playing. This pedal packs all the power you need, making it an essential addition to your pedalboard.

Pulse Width Modulation Fuzz with Interactive Envelope Control

Gary's fuzz side features a pulse width modulation circuit that transforms your signal into a square wave, delivering thick, heavy tones. The Yes! control adjusts the envelope sensitivity, dynamically altering the duty cycle based on your playing style. With higher settings, the fuzz narrows, creating a biting tone that can even disappear entirely at extreme settings for a dramatic effect. This side of Gary can be controlled with an expression pedal, allowing you to manually shape the fuzz in real time for even more flexibility.

Dynamic Overdrive for Smooth, Natural Tone

Gary's softer side is all about natural-sounding overdrive, reminiscent of the iconic Gray Channel. This side offers a full-range opamp drive with plenty of volume on tap. The Go control adjusts the gain, allowing you to dial in everything from a clean boost to thick, saturated distortion. Paired with the That's It master volume control, Gary's overdrive side is perfect for adding just the right amount of grit or driving your amp into full-on overdrive.

Built for Performance with Flexi-Switch® Technology

Gary is equipped with EarthQuaker Devices' Flexi-Switch® Technology, offering both momentary and latching switching. This allows players to engage either the fuzz or overdrive circuits with a tap or hold for momentary bursts of tone. The pedal is crafted with EarthQuaker's signature attention to detail, ensuring high-quality components and reliable performance. Made in Akron, Ohio, Gary is designed to withstand the demands of live performance while delivering consistently impressive tones.
