Pedals and Effects: Aqueduct Vibrato by EarthQuaker Devices

If you know me, and follow me, it's no secret that I love vibrato. I've shouted it from the rooftops, I've put vibrato on absolutely everything. There's vibrato all over Mars Volta records, it's all over Big Sir records, it's a staple of my career, and my love for the effect knows no bounds. Enter Earthquaker Devices newest pedal, the Aqueduct. One of my favorite effects companies of all time, putting a unique spin on one of my favorite effects of all time. The result? Blowing the competition out of the water.

“No blues licks through this motherfucker” 😂 best

[@smokesystem90]

yeah boi

[@IMONFIREPLEASEPUTMEOUT]

It's an ongoing joke where guitarists will demo something like the data corrupter and just play blues licks, which doesn't show what the pedal can really do. They're not knocking the blues at all

[@TheZooropaBaby]

most demos of data corruptor are just pathetic man

[@diafenix]

I love how Juan is doing manual vibrato while using the vibrato of the pedal. That right there my friends, is vibrato passion.

[@MeneerKB]

please do a new walkthrough on Nicks pedalboard!!

[@loudspeaker003]

Kenneth Roy van den Bos PLEASE JUAN

[@snowoncedars8215]

Please juan

[@theaustralianhulk]

please Juan

[@TheZooropaBaby]

just interview Nels Cline already dude

[@Wally55223]

I always love videos like the stuff on KNOBS where they go pretty in depth in explaining the pedals, but for finding out how far a pedal can be pushed, there's no better duo than Juan and Nick!

[@smokesystem90]

gotta love pedals and effects, always a fresh look on a pedal

[@elephantricity]

Love the settlers of catan reference. Love Juan saying, "take my word for it, I'm not biased at all by being endorsed by Earth Quaker at all."

[@alaja200798]

God dammit I literally have bought choruses and vibratos in the past and ended up selling them because I can't fucking find a use for them and I saw this and was like "learn from your past mistakes don't do it" and wasn't gonna buy it but of course you two make it seem like the coolest pedal on Earth and of course I'm buying one now so thanks a lot guys

[@almessinger1834]

No blues licks: YESSSSSSS

[@mindbodylightsound10]

I appreciate demoing with the fretless

[@dantelamusta]

I’m vibing this!

[@awol.oper8r]

This seems like one of the most Juan pedals ever. I gotta have it!

[@PepisMusicmx]

that thing in 5:02 should be the complete demo for the pedal. made me lol

[@oldasrocks9121]

I miss Juan!

[@jimtroeltsch5998]

@3:05 it sounds like nick is ripping the most blistering jazz saxaphone solo lol. Did not see that coming.

[@olivedotcom]

Love the mbv mention!

Amazing!

[@steveng6721]

I appreciate that you guys dont just do the same dad licks holy shit i wish i found you sooner

[@odiwan74]

I have the Alexander Effects F.13 flanger (v1) and its dynamic setting is pretty much the same as the dynamic pitch on the Aqueduct, totally nails that MBV sound.

[@molliemicrobe]

All the new Earthquaker stuff has that momentary bypass. Even my data corrupter has that, although I'm not sure if that's standard. I got mine in a raffle at NAMM this past winter, so it might not be totally normal.

[@ckf36]

That envelope pitch setting is fucking insane

[@krekcabnow2910]

The Zoom Ms70 multi effect has two whammy bar effects. I think one called bend chorus and the other is more subtle it called mojo roller. Also they both have dry blend.

[@vltirsarnat9405]

I was really surprised to get v3 seamachine and discover it doesn't feature the momentary switching.

[@turnerplackmeyer]

I NEED that Twin Peaks Westwood....

[@austinkowalczyk9667]

I just wish it had the ramp feature that the VB-2 has

[@einsteinv1]

Hell yeah!! CATAN

[@christopherrusch]

i wish they would a/b the boss vibrato and the aqueduct ... no one on youtube has any comparisons of it

[@brad6919]

How do deal with the latency?

[@DoNoise]

8:14 Alexander F.13 does that

[@maxonmendel5757]

EQD nails the Kevin Shields tone. What kind of Squier is that?

[@asharpbflat7179]

Five years late with my answer, but it's the Courtney Love designed Squier Venus, the most beautiful guitar ever.

[@Natural_Order]

When is Nick's board game night?

[@Nil_Echo]

Liked for Settlers reference

[@dannyloos2933]

Nick repping Settlers of Catan, fuck yeah

[@ZWestfall]

18:10 = epic

[@carlos__z]

seems like Nick just got out of bed :P

[@BrutalistJr]

settlers of catan rules dude

[@juanalderetedelapena5161]

hella hot at 5starr?

[@lhmmhl1]

Fiiiiiirst lolololol. No for real best pedal reviews online yo.

[@pvolt7]

Rampy

[@gooseabuse]

I love the blues

[@louderthangod]

Nilly Sigger You can find plenty of blues pedal demos on KZbin. Do you think Nick and Juan talent would best be used playing classic rock and blues riffs?

[@thetaranmyster]

Surrrfy

[@cleftturnip7774]

These pedal companies are struggling imo. All just slight variations on what already is.

[@louderthangod]

cleft turnip Sounds pretty different from most vibrato pedals to me.

[@cleftturnip7774]

@@louderthangod sure . But no sounds that you couldn't get other ways. I'm just not sure how much we can consume. Pedal companies need to make money and it seems to me that it might be just becomeing a self eating machine.

[@ricardofarinha8922]

That's why they're pushing so many new products. I think we came to a point where anyone can do a decent pedal and with the dsp technology it's even easier to make all these variations. To survive the brands have to think out of the box and bring some new features everytime and have a marketing strategy associated to it. And EQD nails in these two aspects.

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

cleft turnip Not struggling, just lack of creativity. They need more LSD.
