EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird Review

The Hummingbird EarthQuaker pedal is inspired by vintage "repeat percussion" tremolo effects, like those found in old-school Valco and Vox amps. But this isn't just a throwback - it's a versatile, modern tool with three selectable rate modes, allowing you to tailor the effect to your style. From slow, sweeping pulses to rapid, synth-like chops, this pedal is perfect for everything from surf rock to experimental music.

One of the standout features is its expression pedal input, which lets you control the tremolo speed in real-time. Combined with the new Flexi-switch for both latching and momentary operation, the EarthQuaker Hummingbird Tremolo gives you expressive control that makes live performance and studio experimentation a breeze. Plus, with its JFET-driven circuitry, you get plenty of clean gain to boost your signal when needed.
