EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird V2
EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird V2 carries the same choppy, sawtooth Repeat-Percussion-style tremolo circuit as the original Hummingbird, offering two speed settings for shaping how the chop responds. Like the original, it spans from classic 1950s-style shimmering tremolo to a more synthy, delay-like chop character. V2 uses side-mounted jacks, a layout later revised in V3 to top-mounted jacks for better pedalboard compatibility, but the underlying tremolo voicing remains the vintage-modeled circuit that defines the whole Hummingbird lineage.
