EarthQuaker Devices · pedal

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.
