there is a particular fuzz pedal that made its way to james murphy from lcd soundsystem and ended up finding a forever home with them that really does have something special. its heavy without being too heavy, clean but not too clean. a simple set of controls yet it has an expansive array of tones that makes it very versatile on a wide variety of instruments. it has clarity when you need it and can blur all discernable lines when you dont. it still retains the familiar foundation of the classic fuzz it was intended to be, but something special happened to it over the years and it has very much grown into its own thing. it has been the chosen bass fuzz for several lcd recordings and has traveled around the world with them. it has been beat up and taped back together. it looks like it shouldnt work but it always delivers. it is old, it is fragile, and it sounds massive. too good to retire yet too tired to keep going. that is where earthquaker devices come in. they were tasked with replicating the exact sound of this pedal but in a reliable format that can withstand the stresses of this modern world. they persevered and have brought the chelsea. named after the guitar shop in which it was purchased back in 1989, the chelsea recreates all the idiosyncrasies of the original but without the threat of total collapse. with only 3 controls, this deceptively powerful pedal offers you everything from light overdrive to full on distortion with all the clarity and blissful grinding that make the original so special. just like the original, a tone on/off switch allows you remove the tone control from the circuit, opening up a whole new world of midrange grind. switch it off for a simplified and straightforward attack or leave it on for a full-bodied distortion with loads of low end with a slight natural scoop. roll up the sustain for wall-shaking bass notes or sustaining lead and adjust the tone for a wild and wide frequency response from aggressive top end to low-end rumble. this thing is deep and will cover pretty much anything you can throw at it. developed with james murphy from lcd soundsystem a painstaking recreation of the fuzz pedal used on several of their recordings tone on/off switch: removes tone control from the circuit sustain: amount of distortion and sustain. tone: boosts treble clockwise, boosts bass and tame top end counterclockwise. tone bypass: bypasses the tone control and delivers a more mid-focused response. level: output volume all-analog signal path true bypass silent relay-based switching handmade in akron, ohio, usa lifetime warranty
