EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
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.
