The EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird is a choppy, sawtooth tremolo modeled on the vintage Repeat Percussion circuit found in old Valco and Vox amplifiers, capable of everything from classic shimmering 1950s-style tremolo to a synthy, delay-like chop. As the original version in the Hummingbird lineage, it established the core circuit later refined by V2 and V3 with additional speed settings and jack placement changes, while retaining the same fundamentally choppy, percussive tremolo character that defines the whole series.
The EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird Repeat Percussions V3 refines the same vintage-modeled choppy, sawtooth tremolo circuit found in the original Hummingbird and V2, adding a third speed setting for more tremolo-rate versatility and switching to top-mounted jacks for improved pedalboard compatibility over V2's side-mounted layout. The underlying tremolo voicing, modeled on the Repeat Percussion units found in old Valco and Vox amps, remains unchanged, still spanning classic shimmering tremolo through to a synthy, delay-like chop character.
