New Earthbound Audio...

Post by benjuro »

From EA's blog (http://earthboundaudio.blogspot.com):

The IRON PIG distortion is arriving in October.

This pedal takes the classic LM308 fueled distortion sound, increases the low end and offers 9 different distortion flavors via a toggle and rotary switch.

A brief rundown of the controls:
LEVEL - Output level.
GAIN - Amount of distortion to the signal.
TONE - Classic high cut control- more high end clockwise, less high end counter-clockwise.

TOGGLE SWITCH: Chooses the general type of gain.

DIS - Distortion- hard edged classic sound
OD - Overdrive - less intense distortion that works well with an already dirty amp.

ROTARY SWITCH: Chooses what type of components cause the distortion sound.

GE - Germanium diodes. Very compressed, warm, and fuzzy.
SI - Silicon diodes. The standard sound. Smooth and compressed.
LED - LEDs. Very crunchy and raw with a tighter low end and more midrange emphasis.
LS - LED / Silicon diodes. A hybrid clipping combination that is very dynamic with great note definition.
308 - No diodes- distortion from the LM308 chip only. Very loud, raw and uncompressed.

The toggle and rotary switches can dial in 9 different flavors of distortion (308 mode is the same in DIS or OD).

The IRON PIG pedal can be pre-ordered through September 15th for $150 (plus shipping if outside the U.S.)- after that the standard price will be $175. Use the Paypal button below and don't forget to choose the pedal color. Pre-orders will ship in early to mid October.

Choose between black enclosure w/ yellow ink, green enclosure w/ black ink or orange enclosure w/ black ink.

A limited run of 6 pedals in a black enclosure w/ black ink is available during the pre-order period. These will look like the black on black Beasts made a few months back.

Email earthboundaudio at gmail.com with any other questions or for more details. Thanks!


Wish he would post an actual pic instead of these images, but at least there's no shortage of info...

Urg shit I just had a Rat clone made with most of these features (aside from the OD/dist switch, the Ge and LS clipping options and the increased low end). If I'd known I probably would have held off. But I didn't. So, uh... not sure what I'm trying to say here.

Looking forward to hearing this, though.

:lol: I know that feeling. It's a feeling of slight discontent. You know you should be happy that you have a very good pedal, but now that you know there is a "better" one out there, you kind of feel...embarrassed.
