Hey bub! Welcome to your new EarthQuaker Devices brand Bellows
fuzzdrive! The Bellows is a back-to-basics, transistor-based dirt
device. This two-knob wonder has a whole lot of character for such
a simple, unassuming pedal. It straddles the line between amp-like
grit and fuzzy saturation to create a remarkably vintage, tweed-type
tone. Similar to the volume control of a "non master" amp, the Drive
determines how hard the signal hits the input. At lower drive levels it's
a little wider and grittier. Resist the usual urge to dime it and keep the
Drive low for mellow, amp-like break up. Slowly bring up the Drive and
you'll eventually end up in blown out fuzz land, having passed a bunch
of useful distorted places in between. It's pretty much every era of rock
n' roll in a box. While designed for guitar, Bellows also handles bass
extremely well at growling low and scorching high levels. And if you're
a guitar player that fancies themselves a bass player- then forget it,
this is your favorite dirt pedal. Each and every Bellows is made by a
bunch of bearded dudes and a couple ladies in the comedic drama
section of Akron, Ohio.
This device is true bypass and uses relay based "soft touch" switching.
Audio will not pass without power.
Controls
Level: Adjusts the output level by setting the bias voltage of the
transistor. A small amount of noise while dialing this in is perfectly
normal.
Drive: Controls the input gain of the device for different levels of dirt.
You'll find that it is thinner and more clean counter clockwise and
thicker with more growl clockwise.

Power
This device can be powered by a 9v battery or a standard 9-volt
DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always
recommend
pedal-specific,
transformer-isolated
supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra
noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power
supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do
not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO
NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
Current Draw: 13 mA
