EarthQuaker Devices Aqueduct Vibrato | Reverb Tone Report

[@seanwalsh5303]

Andy's videos are the bane of savings accounts.

[@JonnyRocksAW]

PREACH

[@PatrickNorris10]

This and the pedal zone. I’m done for.

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

I'm a huge fan of subtle, always on modulation effects (especially in stereo) to thicken up a good rhythm sound, and that intro sounds like 80's era Killing Joke! I've been hunting down that sound for a long time, as that's a holy grail of that kind of guitar sound! I definitely need to experiment with vibrato more.

[@christopherrusch]

It’s 2 am, but I do this for Andy

[@doppelmeyer]

Country Sad Ballad Man... one of the greatest riffs ever committed to tape, Graham Coxon is an absolute treasure

[@cjscala87]

Andy makes every pedal sound musical! Then I get it and I struggle to sound anything but shit

[@garethcole8416]

Lol! Glad it's not just me ;-)

[@savanaviolenta]

That's because 1.He uses certain amps 2.He is a very good player 3.There is a good post processing 4.He is a good sales man 5.He uses good selling techniques to sell you a product and you are overwelmed by all the above mentioned things,which make you inclined of buying anything he offers you...well for the most part of it.

[@lolimfranco]

Hahah! I know. I'm like, "I'm gonna rock on this thing!!" Then likely get it and immediately forget how to play guitar.

[@jordanpratt3821]

Oh yeah,rule number one is never buy a pedal because Andy made it sound good.Only took me twice to learn.You have to see how a mere mortal makes it sound.

[@CatharticGuitar]

😂same.

[@thomashorne5921]

Andy is always my first stop in checking out a new pedal. He never says anything bad about a pedal, so a second opinion (that is not connected to sales) might be necessary, but he offers the best overview and he's a pleasant non "YT influencer exaggerated" presence to be around. Plus, he always starts with actually playing through the pedal, no nonsense - which is another way in which he avoids being annoying.

[@deathbysonar]

This is going to be on every shoegaze album.

[@thepedalzone]

Such a great demo, Andy! Envelope Pitch Mode = MAGIC! ❤️

[@danisoaresduarte]

I was watching and reading comments, and thinking, “man, people really get a silly GAS, I know it’s EQD etc, but c’mon”. Then the squares wave started and I immediately thought, “son of a gun, I NEED this thing RIGHT NOW!”. Andy, you’re awesome!

[@jaredbumbis]

playing the volume knob like a whammy on the envelope pitch setting is such a cool idea. andy kills it again

[@econogate]

Right when it goes overboard the ship at 6:24 I was listening and rewound the video cause at the time i was reading something and said to myself "oh god that's wobbly as wobbly can get", i then watch and Andy reacts with that grin at that same spot where I exclaimed out loud. This thing seems to me the best vibrato wobbly thing I've heard, it sounds like the most rubbery guitar string sound that ever existed, really intense!

[@chadkelham5034]

My tremolo bar just lost his job...thank you to Andy & EQD.

[@doomsdaydanceparty7646]

This demo sounds like 8 minutes of polvo riffs, for that reason I'm buying it

[@kilkaserco]

Polvo meets Tropical F*CK Storm.

[@-k-b-]

I honestly come back to Andy's videos even if I've had the pedal for a while, he uses some really great settings I usually wouldn't think of using

[@markferguson3745]

One of my longest standing pedals.Always dug Vibrato, and this one adds meaning to the term.

[@sethasaurus841]

Best pedal i ever heard, need this

[@ShredShed]

My news feed Feelin seasick with all the Aquaduct videos today...

[@danielbell4007]

I don’t like vibrato effects. I never have. But 90 seconds into an Andy demo... I think I need that! Hahaha

[@HunterAnton]

I was the same with the Nels Cline demo on the EQD site

[@justinbrown8214]

Andy's true guitar talent is his taste in riffs, country sad ballad Man!

[@1upfx281]

Great sounding pedal but that Jennings you used in the intro is one of the sexiest things ever created by the hands of man!

[@celsoch]

This is the pedal of my dreams!!!!

[@Justin-dg2nn]

That guitar is fuggin gorgeous

[@matthewmccalvin2062]

Sounds varied, wanna hear it ran thru a synth, I could see this being used in other ways than a guitar effect.. I'll def check it out.. Andy kinda got a K Shields look going on too, the Lee Ranaldo and Kim Deal EQ videos are killer.. excited to see how people view this era of pedals in 20 years.. its truly a creative golden age of creation.

[@cassiacana5335]

Super late but it can be used for specialty harps to really incredible effect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q56coqOZjbiGaqc

[@hex9318]

Finally some actually good guitar playing and not just people playing the same blues licks

[@whiskybravo4648]

I just bought one of these. Cool stuff.

[@mycripplecreek]

I'm so glad I never got around to buying a Janus. This thing does so much. Can't wait to try it with my Spires.

[@michaelholmes5150]

ED does it again! Ad libs an all too familiar effect and creates something new. Well done. Not my kind of effect though as trying to create something musical in extreme settings without it being a gimmick is an issue. Vibrato can be a great stand alone effect if it did not sound like someone doing subtle stuff with their vibrato bar, or being a dumbed down tremolo or sounding exactly like a chorus.

[@slartbarg]

that envelope mode is super snazzy

[@MAV4Soul]

"Sometimes Vibrato should be used sparingly, and Earthquaker understands this". Do they really tho?

[@nikphilip]

Graham Coxon didn't :)

[@karlvorndran2996]

You bet we do!

[@Always_in_C_standard]

You can buy water parks on Reverb.com?

[@pablovalle2244]

ANDY YOU ARE AWESOME

[@luisnvb]

Country Sad Ballad Man!

[@gabrielpadilla7508]

Reminds me of everything I listened to growing up in 90s

[@fullmetalfunk]

the only issue i see with this pedal is that little stutter where the audio cuts out when stepping on the switch while playing when using the momentary switch, that would drive me crazy.

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

A lot of digital pedals made by lesser companies have some kind of issues; digital circuits are very complex and not easy to master, especially the more complicated ones.

[@frankiesunswept]

Really awesome pedal, appreciate the excellent vid! :)

[@gipperbr]

You love Blur, and I love you for loving Blur!

[@ishancooper]

EQD have done it again!!! 🤘🏼

[@leiscwf]

Sounds great

[@karlboman]

Very cool sounds! I was waiting for the Blur riffage, was not disappointed. Which Railhammers are that in the Hagström?

[@danielallan5058]

I like this put I would use it just here and there!

[@powerkor]

one day you'll look back and say, what the hell was I thinking.

[@RebSike]

5:55 that's so grungey

[@mattgerken6366]

I can't wait to buy this in a year for $100

[@darionbuck8864]

How that working out? I know it's only been 9 months but this pedal has really held its value. Might have to wait a few more years...

[@markferguson3745]

Yeah, you might have to aim that resentment elsewhere.Waranted or not, their stuff varies by maybe 20/30$ used.They've become very popular the last few years, even if I think there are usually better alternatives.

[@zackbrown1525]

I have lived in Akron a long time... Where is the largest indoor water park?

[@NigDub]

A stereo version had been cool, none the less it is a great pedal!

[@TheTurkey79]

Sounds demented......I like it! :P

[@buibuibuiestudio5561]

yo, you can like make a whole record with this WTF

[@devine_noise]

Should I get this or the Zvex Lo-fi junky??

[@CammojoDragon97]

Glad i held out on the pyramids, I would use this WAAAAAAAY more! May have to sacrifice my CE-2w for this!

[@bluecrabcakes]

Cameron Tyson me to my MXR chorus: “I’m sorry little one”

[@LeviBulger]

I'd keep the boss if you want purely traditional vibrato. Nothing does it better. But this does do some pretty cool shit

[@lemon_cello]

Must know what that first tune is!!

[@AndyDemos]

William Orchard Just made it up! I think I’ll call it: Hey Man, Nice Shoes.

[@johnholland5466]

AndyDemos I loved it. I’ve never been a fan of vibrato, but that song was fantastic.

[@deaterk]

What is the second song?!?! (the one played on the Hagstrom, 3:14 to 4:18). Haunting, dark and a little creepy...sounds like a David Lynch soundtrack. Lovin' it!

[@Brayden329]

Vibrato is kinda like Tremolo without the headache it gives me lol. Shoulda checked these out before I bought a trem pedal.

[@MrsHopeunseen]

Forget the pedal... I want that Jennings guitar!

[@src248]

the fact that it cuts the signal when you first hit the momentary switch really kills the usefulness

[@ConnorGremory]

Steven Chabot dude i know :/

[@HunterAnton]

Doesn't look like it does on the EQD demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3jIfZuOfNGpickm15s

[@evanpincus2203]

Yeah but, like, that's *their* demo, of course it would be perfect there

[@HunterAnton]

True, true.

[@db2477]

Who can tell me exactly which model Reverend guitar is hanging in the background?

[@fragmatic1964]

Looks like a Reverend Airwave 12 string. I've seen Andy play it on several demos. Exceptional guitar, btw.

[@edadpops1709]

Great pedals must have good foot controls

[@MatteoLibra]

The mxr sugar drive is situated before the eqd aqueduct?

[@awol.oper8r]

This is Tropical Fuck Storm in a box

[@catguy96]

I must get a pedal like this to play some really weird shit, man. But first I want to compare with others. Any suggestions?

[@HankCScorpio]

Dramamine please

[@Kerosenetrewthe]

My pocket just got a little less full....thanks Andy!

[@pclindholm]

Andy Rules

[@Mr.Steve-O]

What pickups are in Andy's Hagstrom Swede ?

[@mikeybeazley3]

Looks like Railhammers, not sure which model.

[@jacobgutierrez864]

Country Ballad Sad Man!!!! (:

[@ryanb.4869]

random sounds so mac demarco, it’s great

[@robevers4686]

Yo this is awesome what's the first song/riff he is playing on the sine mode

[@ryanburston1961]

Rob Evers. I also want to know what the first song was

[@lemon_cello]

We must know!!

[@ertugrulka.4244]

Sounds kinda like C.A. Quintet - Trip Thru Hell

[@eltimbalerdelbruc1414]

Brave face!!!! Very specific pedal. Hard sell for Andy!!!!!

[@cjcoake]

Does that Hagstrom have Railhammers installed in it?

[@admbrnk3665]

cjcoake sure looks like it

[@src248]

The largest indoor water park? I think not!

[@tommynovak6399]

Ikr? I was like where??

[@doomsdaydanceparty7646]

this very well may be the first eqd pedal i buy, thems a pretty penny though

[@jacksonchan6822]

temporarily hated myself for buying the TCE shaker then i googled the price for this

[@matiasmoine1338]

Where is that first riff from?

[@omgomg123123lol]

Matías Moine I just DMed Andy on Instagram and he said that he just made it up. Which is pretty cool.

[@christophergadomski6933]

how many pedals has andy sold?

[@doomsdaydanceparty7646]

7:16 if that isnt some polvo song verbatum, im impressed

[@jaybirdgoody]

That indoor water park must be underneath the Wally Waffle

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

I give up...what was the first song?

[@Necroctulhu]

Am I the only one who gets sea sickness while listening to this?

[@timesink8947]

4am CST posting? Andy got moved to that late shift!

[@Reverb]

Andy never sleeps. He waits.

[@edadpops1709]

Just the early morning shift

[@MrJoeystockdale]

Andy is god

[@patchoulicyanide]

First song?

[@patchoulicyanide]

Third song?

[@Lunarimoths]

fuckin' sweet!

[@Dolores5000]

❤

[@codyrathman]

A bit disappointed with Andy's usage of the random mode. Was hoping for a cooler more ear-pleasing example than that. Otherwise, great pedal demo as always!

[@Noisehead101]

uhh, only this guy can make me want to spend that much money on a vibrato pedal

[@econogate]

I could swear he's playing this progression....Butthole Surfers via Donovan kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWfciI2ZqMyqfJo at the end... 8:24 ...this pedal makes me feel like im listening to a Butthole Surfers album.

[@andrewsmith6898]

I dunno if this effect in general has a place for me. My grand orbiter phaser has a vibrato toggle, and I feel that's as much vibrato as I'll need.

[@misaelalejandrohenriquezhe339]

4:00 Sonido de Nirvana

[@mikewallace9193]

This is much less usable than the Night wire. Love that pedal. All I could get this to do was make me sound out of tune.

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

If Andy can only make it sound this good, I'm fucked. Guess I'll pass on this one.

[@rampancyatmidnight2412]

Omg it's Andy! I haven't seen this guy since those gearwire videos! WTH!

[@pvolt7]

COXON

[@joeltaylor4821]

We're you stoned when you played that dude? Whoa.

[@edadpops1709]

Hmmm probably Andys own brews

[@ssunfroze]

first tune name plz

[@jayharper971]

It's called "hey man, nice shoes"...by Andy

[@dikkeskieven484]

Anyone any idea what the first tune was he played? Can't remember :(((

[@invin7215]

Pretty sure that if the box said Joyo on it nobody would be hyped about this. I love my EQD pedals but the only things I like about this are Andy's intro song and that sweet EQD font.

[@anesejav444]

wait what? largest indoor waterpark is in Sandusky, Ohio lol

[@ciro0107]

JUST A KID FROM AKRON, OHIO

[@mindbodylightsound10]

I don't think I would find this pedal useful but cool demo.

[@kevgamble]

Not remotely what I would have expected, after all the buildup/mystique around this pedal release.
