Earthquaker Devices Palisades - Heavy Settings

Buy Now: goo.gl/7QB4Bj
Welcome back to ProGuitarShop.com, where we're taking a look at the heavy side of the Palisades from Earthquaker Devices. With 2 rotary switches for Bandwidth and Voice, toggles for input buffer and brightness and footswitchable A&B Gain and Boost, you can take this pedal far beyond your old Screamer's boundaries. EQD voiced the B Gain specifically for higher gain and it will produce tighter, more harrmonically charged tones, even when lower than the A Gain. Doom or fuzzy Stoner Rock textures can also be dialed in with a high Bandwidth setting, which hits the front of the Palisades' circuit with all the low end available from your guitar signal.

That floating head plays guitar pretty good

[@HernandeztheHero]

+Gear Gods LOOOOOOL!!!

[@JAllevi8ed]

What guitar

[@alexschuster1618]

WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL

[@suburbanhavoc4997]

Holy hell! Any time a demo starts with Mastodon, I know it's going to be awesome!

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

Fuck yeah with the Mastodon!

[@miguelnascimento2847]

AND MELVINS! MASTODON AND MELVINS FUCK YEAH BEST BANDS EVER

[@rush2795]

the last thing i would think that andy would play!! right on mastodon

[@peterrudolph4197]

right and he fuckin kills it too lol

[@rikomenzies]

I heard the intro and a harpoon just manifested in my hand. I'm a little confused, but I dig it.

[@nimh1515]

Had to intro with the mastodon. So good.

[@theGIGINIband]

I just got one yesterday and just love it, perfect rock tones, sounds sweet, deleted 3 pedals on my board, I now just use this and a delay

[@marton_ratkai]

Can you engage the channels separately? Or you activate the pedal and changing channel after that? thx!

[@locksh]

Oooooooooooh. That intro. Sold me. This will someday hopefully be my pedal.

[@tommygungd]

Never thought I'd see the day Andy played Melvins. "SET ME STRAIGHT". Best Demo ever.

[@tylerwolfe648]

Break your backs and crack your oars, men! Sweet pedal, it's much more organic sounding than I thought it would be. Will consider it!

[@wahwah12892]

How are you supposed to know if something is bad if Andy makes them all sound good? They should replace him.

[@lukebutfoymarsh-music2800]

Hell that's funny !!!

[@jlrespicio]

Xavi Aguilar they're merchants. it's their job to sell them and yes they have to make it sound good. apparently good. i think every riff and song must fit with the given setting. try diff. riff on the same setting, will eventually sounds bad in such cases.

[@mfb5642]

he was joking....

[@JetBeray]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@benbowman9003]

Mastodon AND melvins! Killer.

[@venemataylor]

that freaking blood and thunder riff. never fails to make me want to punch all the things.

[@BlixTheGoblin]

Mastodon and Melvins are two of the greatest bands ever who start with the letter M.

[@Maxtodon]

Thank you for playing more than just the intro riff for Blood and Thunder

[@robertodiaz-rodriguez5398]

Lovely rendition of Blood and Thunder, love it

[@mikeischangingplaces]

I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME jug jug jug jug jug jug jug jug jug jug jug jug fuck yea

[@rum_bongo]

Amazing Demo. Kudos for Mastodon and Melvins.

[@chrisosborneband4941]

i own this this pedal and i gotta say i was skeptical but pleasantly surprised - great tube screamer type pedal

[@skattabrain]

ADD TO CART you had me at Blood & Thunder

[@Limesubmusic]

The best demo of this pedal on you tube, all the other videos make this pedal sound like bees.

[@Razwithz]

this guy is so fucking good

[@xjamesxreedx]

MELVINS!

[@bparr6968]

Massive tone for a massive song. I defiantly approve!

[@NolanDerosia]

I loved that interval thing.

[@stratdoc]

OK I own this pedal. Bought it after watching this video. Mastodon in a box through a deluxe! And it is. It' has a couple of issues. First as you can see better in other videos getting the levels right when you stack the drives is pretty tricky. Mostly just set the first drive and find the darkness and clarify you want with balancing clupping. It tends to stay at 2 and you dial the bandwidth. The problem comes when you stack this with other pedals. Just really hard to layer this in with say a Klon style pedal or a fuzz. The levels have to be tweeked. It will hiss as well. For live I just don't want to have to tweek it..the buttons on mine are way to stiff and make engaging a conmitment and again live you can hit the middle at some point only to discover this when you engage the main right button. Same can be true of the boost. It will happen once a show. Big feet? It lost it"s space on my performance board. To many amazing drive pedals in this price point. Obviously analogman, even an OCD play well with the stack. I would pass on it if I had been able to trial it.

[@jon210478]

Blood and thunder!!...... Sick playing Andy

[@gabehobbs]

Dat picking though 4:05

[@jacobkirkbride1581]

Great another large EarthQuaker Devices pedal that I need to buy and don't have room for on my board... I have to admit their pedals are phenomenal.

[@TheBrotherChamp]

I already want this pedal just because of Andy playing Blood and Thunder.

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

What a great way to start an Andy video! Mastodon!

[@nickmorrow2613]

I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME

[@phatgroover79]

Good Lord, I love this pedal!!

[@frankscassi4960]

At tbe beginning of this video I wasn't sure I liked the pedal, but then you had me at Blood and Thunder. Oh wait...

[@falloutMAN84]

Melvins... very nice.

[@Brokethelofi]

Yeah blood abd thunder!!

[@bluetomatorecords]

All hail the Melvins!

[@_squeven_6037]

Second riff is "Set me Straight" by the Melvins.

[@saintlotus93]

Andy playing Mastodon? I have to get the pedal now.

[@zalxemptyx]

hell yeah andy ,that was great .

[@downwithdixie]

Best Screamer out there.

[@TOmsDK]

What is the song he plays at 4:20 ?

[@karlhenrikarendt]

New item on the wishlist!!! :-)

[@peacelovekillemall]

Man, was surprised to find I thought it sounded remarkably better when he switched to the hagstrom in blood and thunder

[@espertempo]

Does anybody know whose song is the last one he plàys?

[@RobEustace]

This is the balls...

[@xpazuzu]

Fuck yeah, rocking some Mastodon! Love that pedal, I just wish it went heavier than that, but that may be asking for too much...

[@qxpxqx]

Hell yes, Andy! You're awesome, as always, but this takes the proverbial "cake"!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Well, awesome demo, how about a lesson on that opening song? :)

[@suburbanhavoc4997]

Blood and Thunder by Mastodon. Badass song, but it's pretty simple.

[@78raarons]

The Melvins!! Awesome

[@anubis1335]

Blood and thunnnnda! Love it

[@robertfoster8025]

SOLD

[@jorgepeterbarton]

bandwidth aren't input caps! they are bandwidth caps in the IC feedback where its clipping.

[@theultimaterockr]

I want a demo of it going into the front of a Marshall

[@PDA1234567891]

Wow, that finger picking on the minute 4:05... two or one finger (not much into finger picking, but trying to introduce myself into it)?

[@jacobkirkbride1581]

HELL YEAH BLOOD AND THUNDER!

[@MrJaapdeboer]

Trying to decide between getting this or a ts9 and BE-OD for my heavy sounds. I wonder what's more diverse, but this sure does sound good

[@cds9000]

What's the song at 4:21?

[@jeroenverbeeck7925]

mastodon!

[@bluetomatorecords]

YES!

[@MrEmohdee]

ROCK ON

[@mytho1ogy1]

just got this im playing through a heavily customized Schecter C-1 Classic equipped with Nazgul/ Sentient pickups. The lowest settings produces a fuck ton of saturation. this thing responds to Hotter pickups like crazt. im gonna switch back in my BKP aftermaths and see whats up. who said the only thing good out of Akron was tires.,,.

[@rpelarius8225]

A tube screamer that does Mastadon... holy shit!

[@arfslmnsyh]

Ah... Andy Martin, I'm into you!

[@minebot6414]

Holy blood and thunder

[@coding_den]

I'm wondering if you could get most of these sounds on the Dunes overdrive...

[@nickdrake1223]

What are the 2 songs after Mastodon? Are they both The Melvins?

[@michaelcraig9449]

How much does this dude cost? Will it hep get a huge Hendrix- Stevie Ray type tone with a Strat into Fender amp?

[@DrSixxx]

I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME!! XD

[@calebargueta9054]

nice!! MASTODON

[@tattotoro]

can you have the Gain B a side from the Activate button? or you gotta press it first to get the Gain B?

[@churchhousecreepers22]

tattotoro you can activate the B side first then when you push the activate button you go straight to gain B

[@tattotoro]

Churchhouse Creepers thanks!

[@tomi1537]

what are the names of those other songs that Andy plays?

[@s.w.matteo6679]

Melvins!

[@xDooksx]

Nice

[@mytho1ogy1]

what the fuck is he playing !!! Summoning the gods for fucks sake.

[@zanehutcheson1232]

Mastodon- Blood and Thunder from the album Leviathan

[@MrMikewright1980]

How does this pedal sound in front of a high gain amp?

[@tommygungd]

Mastodon!!!!

[@Berzrk-Z]

Song at 2:57 please?

[@MikaTarkela]

Nice playing but the tone is somehow odd.. I think it sounds like it would be played with neck pickup :o missing something.

[@michaelcraft6391]

Yeah, it's a little bright. Still, good playing.

[@AndyDemos]

Michael Craft funny, sounds on the dark side to me.

[@mr8corvette]

If you look at most of the review done by Andy, he has that sort of "Odd tone" regardless of what guitar amp or effects he uses. It's always baffled me.

[@GoDrex]

I think it's because he doesn't use a pick. Metal riffs sound weird without one IMO

[@therflcommish]

Mastofreakingdon!

[@itsmark101]

Idk if its just my ear but his tones always sound so muffled to me.

[@elephantricity]

I bought this pedal and it is INTENSE. A little much for my funk blues band. With the A gain at zero its still a lot. So be warned. Definitely not as tame as a tube screamer.

[@Stringprodigy]

Couldn't you just clean it up with your volume knob on your guitar?

[@dirtyfatstaff]

,2:40 MELVINS, YEAH!!

[@dvaoa]

Andy is a great guitar player...but it drives me nuts that his demos are without a pick because *most* guitarists play with a pick. And it just doesn't sound the same. Without a pick, it all sounds like varying degrees of fuzz.

[@actsofcreation9116]

I have to disagree... I I appreciate the pick-less-ness. But that's probably because I mostly play without one. :)

[@jlrespicio]

i think its in the tube amp. one cant do this on a solid state. its the touch sensitivity of a tube amp plus the analog-ness of a pedal and the undeniable skill of andy. you gotta watch his clip regarding this pickless technique entitled "the scoop - picking techniques"

[@groovyhippie1165]

\m/ \m/ Go Andy!! Nice sounding pedal.

[@hihowareyouitsme]

What's the intro song?

[@supermario2100]

The first song is called Blood and Thunder by Mastodon.

[@hihowareyouitsme]

supermario2100 Thanks!

[@bringthenoise1130]

Hits the woman tone right on the head

[@elijahdelp2893]

Would this pedal sound ok with a Fender Blues Deluxe?

[@richardcanter324]

Semper Fi definitely

[@elijahdelp2893]

Why do you say definitely?

[@ReinhardA]

Shut up and take my money!

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Is there any real metal guitarist who can test this unit with heavy settings properly?Do not get me wrong,this is nice playing etc,but style of playing and phrases has got nothing to do with word heavy.I`m very curious to find out how it works with metal,modern metal also not just 80thies Ozzy riffs and stuff like that.And of course without alternative,grunge,stoner stuff. Just metal test please.Best regards.

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Josh YOSH How do you on earth know my tone?Metal music is multi sub-genre music,and to say"that is that tone"would be pretty ridiculous.There are tones of different hi gain sounds out there and this video presentation is simply not one of them.I just suggested to see and hear how this pedal works with some tough playing and more aggressive modern amps also like 5150 etc... Since screamer pedals are most common to use in front of metal amps It would be nice to hear what it can offer more than lets say Maxon OD-9 or Ibanez TS808...

[@skattabrain]

I think you are looking for distortion pedal, not an overdrive... at least on a clean amp anyways. The point with this pedal is that it is like having x number of different OD pedals in one unit. For what you are looking for though... I think if you put this in front of any high-gain amp to boost and shape a little and you'll be knocking down barns. =) IMO... when it comes to metal, dirt pedals don't really cut it with the exception of shaping or adding layers. You really need a high gain amp, no pedal gives a Rectifier or 5150 style head a run for the money.

[@artekill]

Heavy ?..

[@shatteredsquare]

Dude get the FOCK out of here 1:10 you go to detail lengths of playing Brents part with fingers and Bills part with a pick, this guy knows his stuff

[@KEPHALLE]

so in one pedal you have multiple combination of sounds. cool. not so cool if you want to punt it into a midi system. WHY IS IT SO COMPLICATED TO INSTALL A GODDAMN MIDI IN-OUT PORT????

[@cmousdale]

ha. For some reason guitar pedal manufacturers have never heard of midi. We're only now starting to get it with people like strymon etc. ridiculous really.

[@nwrth]

Heavy fingers.

[@veerchasm1]

If Andy learns to play drums and sings (he probably does) we should all quit

[@endezeichengrimm]

I don't understand the point of these boxes? Just buy an amp with the gain you need and be done with it.

[@kommi1974]

Sounds awful.

[@arfslmnsyh]

Ah... Andy Martin, I'm into you!
