Earthquaker Hummingbird

$0.00

Earthquaker Devices is known for creating offbeat or strange pedals. Here is an example of accomplishing that goal with subtlety. The Hummingbird is a really fun take on tremolo. Using a sawtooth wave at any of three speed modes you can find a lot of fun, simple, or wacky trem sounds. You can also use it as a clean boost pedal when the Depth knob is at zero.

External Control: MIDI/EXP/TAP/APP/TPRINT/REMOTE

Interface: 3.5/5
This pedal is straightforward and simple. The depth and rate knobs have an intuitive feel and are easy to pin at a spot that sounds good. The mode switcher is somewhat difficult to see in darker situations.

Versatility: 2.5/5
Although this pedal really only does tremolo, it can have a surprising amount of colors and textures with the three modes and the surprisingly large sweep of the rate knob (or expression pedal).

Clarity of Effect: 4/5
Wonderful clarity. The depth knob does exactly what it should and will saturate your tone as much as you could hope for.

Live application: 2/5
Tremolo is an effect not very well suited for horns, but if you have a use for it, this pedal will work nicely. It gives you more than the standard range of trem sounds, and can be a nice source of uncommon textures.

Measures
4.625″ x 2.5″ x 2.25″ with knobs

Power
Our pedals take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. Do not run at higher voltages!
Current draw is 10 mA.
