Earthquaker Devices Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator Pedal

For guitarists seeking to elevate their sound, the Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator Pedal is an innovative, high-quality, and versatile addition to any pedalboard. This touch-sensitive overdrive pedal, crafted by the renowned Earthquaker Devices, offers a clean and pure sound, reminiscent of a breeze flowing through a grove of Douglas Fir trees, yet can heat up to deliver a sound as hot as a fine cup of coffee.

This durable and user-friendly pedal provides a mild-mannered light- to medium-gain overdrive, equipped with active EQ controls. It's designed to enhance your music, pushing your trusty low-wattage combo amp into a range of tones, from cutting, edge-of-breakup rhythm tones to articulate, singing lead tones stacked high with pleasing even-order harmonics and sweet, sweet sustain.

The Westwood's Level control offers an impressive output level, capable of alerting the neighbors with its powerful sound. Each Westwood pedal is a unique creation, hand-built by a dedicated team in the Black Lodge of Akron, Ohio, USA, a place where creativity and innovation are as constant as the music in the air.

The Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator Pedal features intuitive controls for Level, Drive, Bass, and Treble, allowing for a wide range of sound manipulation. The Level control adjusts the output level, while the Drive control adjusts the amount of overdrive. The Bass and Treble controls select the amount of low and high frequencies respectively, allowing for a tailored sound to suit your musical style.

This device is true bypass and uses electronic relay-based switching, ensuring audio will not pass without power. It runs on a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. For optimal performance and minimal noise, we recommend using pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies.

The Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator Pedal's transparent design adds an aesthetic element to your pedalboard, allowing you to see the internal components and circuitry. This pedal is not just a tool, but a statement of style and quality, perfect for musicians who value both sound and appearance.
