Earthbound Audio Closing Down

[John Matrix]

Bummer. Only a few Super Colliders left looks like.

Hadn't heard.

I heard too!!! Very sad news!
I have 2 Supercolliders and 2 Throat Locust: amazing pedals.
I was hoping to get a Pale Mare, as in a post on insta in December Mark wrote he was going to prepare on a new batch.

Where are they selling pedals? The Big Cartel site says everything sold out. Nothing on Reverb. It's seemingly been like that for years, from the various times I've looked. I wonder when the last time a pedal was built? But I'm sorry to hear this, I love my Supercollider (not currently on any boards though).

They were selling pedals on bigcartel. And the best best way to know when pedals would be available was to follow them on instagram.
If it states sold out then the last Supercollider batch made is gone and all slots are ordered.

Actually it looked like Mark was back on track during November/December 2023. I ordered a Supercollider with 71 specs in September.

There's a pair of older Supercolliders on MF/GC.

do you search MF and GC on their sites or do you follow Google hits to them? i've gotten a fair bit of stuff from them and Sam Ash by Googling the item.

I search MF's directory fairly often for used pedals, but if you are on Chrome and search for "Earthbound Audio", you'll likely get MF/GC product links at the top of your search query. That's my main browser, and even though I have ad blockers, I still get sponsored shopping links, because of how Google organizes their platform.

yeah, i only have the work laptop so it's Chrome or Edge, and i'm sticking with the devil i know.

That SC for 139$ sound like a good deal!

I love the old big box SC with the clipping switch (it's a beast with electronics, synths amd beats).
I've modified mine and put a on-off-on switch instead of the standard on-on.
So I can select the standard silicium or LED, and no diodes (the fuzz without becomes super aggressive with tons of volume and splatty).
Also on those old big box SC, the last hiteration had 2 trim pots inside to set the gain of the second and third gain stages.

But I'm glad I've ordered the small box SC with the 71 specs last September: still a cool muff as the stamdard version but more soft and vintage sounding.

The very first boutique pedal I ever bought was an EA Iron Pig. I still use it as my main distortion in one of my bands.

Acid Age Supercollider here if you missed the other ones on Reverb.

Quick! Somebody snag that and then immediately relist it for $600 using the same picture and include words like "Unobtanium!"

The only Earthbound pedal I have now is the Throat Locust and it's a great take on that circuit. Supercollider wasn't my favorite Muff and I never got to try the Iron Pig although I always wanted to.
