Earthquaker Devices Special Cranker Distortion Pedal

The Special Cranker is an discrete analog distortion pedal that adds grit and boost without drastically changing your core tone. Designed to feel like adding an extra preamp tube to your amp, it delivers rich harmonics, smooth sustain, and touch-sensitive response. Single notes bloom, power chords sound thicker and crunchier, and complex chords remain clear and defined with tight lows and focused mids. An evolution of the original Speaker Cranker, the Special Cranker offers more gain, increased output with a Level control, a Tone control for shaping highs, and a diode selector switch. Choose between asymmetrical silicon diodes for a brighter, higher-output sound or germanium diodes for a warmer, smoother response. The More control ranges from near-clean boost to medium-gain overdrive, making the Special Cranker a versatile tool for enhancing your amp’s natural character. Oxygen Music stocks a great range of Earthquaker Devices pedals including the Special Cranker Distortion Pedal.
