EarthQuaker Devices Brand Origins
EarthQuaker Devices was founded in 2007 by Jamie Stillman in Akron, Ohio, starting as a small operation hand-building pedals with a focus on unique analog circuits and durable construction.
Development of the Barrows Fuzz Attacker
The Barrows Fuzz Attacker emerged as part of EQD's expansion into silicon-based fuzz designs, emphasizing dynamic touch sensitivity and a pronounced midrange bite compared to their earlier germanium models like the Hoof.
Notable Artists and Usage
Players such as members of bands like Nothing and various session guitarists have incorporated the Barrows into live rigs for its ability to cut through mixes while retaining note definition under heavy gain.
