  • Hey EarthQuakers, are you wondering what all the fuss (not fuzz) is about the new EQD Special Cranker? Well, hit play on the above video and let Arianna Powell, guitarist for singer Olivia Rodrigo and solo artist school you on why she likes our new trustworthy overdrive. Arianna knows a lot of cool chords, and as always, her tasteful playing highlights the Special Cranker’s ability to maintain note and chord clarity at low or medium gain settings. Then, using an Avalanche Run for a bit of depth, Arianna shows the benefits of both the silicon and geranium modes and touts the warmth and genuine “amp break-up” sound you can get from this pedal. So, absorb the excellent playing and then go to your nearest online or brick-and-mortar EQD dealer to get a Special Cranker for your pedalboard.

    Anyone else hear the “Vegas” riff from Big Thief in the first jam? Love that song, recognized immediately. She’s a brilliant player!

    I enjoyed this demo so much. The pedal sounds amazing and Arianna’s plying is really really cool. Like the ambient bluesy thing. There’s probably a fancy genre buzz word, which I don’t know. But Arianna, you rock 🖤

  • @howlinthewilderness

    Young women like Arianna seem to be the future of guitar. They’re doing the most innovative tasteful stuff that feels quite new and fresh.

      She's fantastic, but why would arbitrary chromosomes affect guitar playing?

  • @johnmarolakos9920

    You are an extraordinary player. I can listen to you just riffing for hours. Your sense of voice, space and pace emerges from a perfect blend of deep chordal play and lyrical single note runs. Your playing is so bluesy listenable. Love it! And you say much with your instrument even in this pedal demo. Bravo! None of that unnecessary, non-musical flashy verbosity I hear so often in these demos. Just thoughtful, moody playing. Outstanding! Keep going. I'm looking forward to hearing the gems you are surely to make as you develop your career. Thank you EarthQuaker Devices. All the best to you!

    I'm crazy about Arianna Powell - she's one of the best guitarists on any scene, and she's in my top 3 favourites. Pedal is EQD, so of course it sounds awesome.

    • @EarthQuakerDevices

    This was hands down the Best Demo I’ve heard to date. This is a guitar lesson I’m going to have to learn in pieces. Subscribed

  • @matthewdean5807

    That is exactly how I feel about this pedal. She articulated it perfectly, and as always - played some beautiful guitar. Thanks EQD & Arianna!

  • @palacecat
    @palacecat Před 2 lety +3

    JFC thank you... I'm so tired of dudes just running scales to test out pedals; finally I can hear someone play some chords through this thing. Just holy cow thank you again

  • @dannyjesse3655
    @dannyjesse3655 Před 2 lety +4

    uh, wow she is *ludicrously* good 🤯🤯🤯🤯
    I have *never* heard another player have such a smoothness and fluidity that is ALSO seamlessly articulate and dynamic. Her time and phrasing has me floored.
    This is literally some of the best guitar playing ive *ever seen.* 🌸🌈🌿🤯

    • @EarthQuakerDevices
      @EarthQuakerDevices  Před 2 lety

    It's great to hear a player with such creativity and beautiful tone

  • @blackdogrover
    @blackdogrover Před 2 lety +6

    I just love her so much. She’s so great. I could listen to her for hours. Her chord voicings are stellar. Very creative and imaginative. Her fluid runs are gorgeous and fresh and I yes. The pedal is awesome. I have to say, just as a sidebar, she would make the trashiest garbage pedal sound amazing. Not to take anything away from that great pedal… that I really want… really bad. It’s just a few bucks, too. Thanks again, EQD. Please make Arianna your official pedal demo artist! 🎶🎶🌻🌈🌅🎶🎶🌷🧡💙🌄

  • @SamuelPHell

  • @jackdpearce
    @jackdpearce Před 2 lety +4

    Just got mine in the mail the other day, loving it so far. Tons of range on the more knob and plenty of volume on tap. The Germanium side is my favorite so far, but the Silicon side is awesome too. I've tried it with my Orange Th30 & 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb so far and it's sounded excellent with both.

  • @eduardoprieto5267

    I finally got mine yesterday. It's little red light is glowing at me as I type. I think Siri is listening in and kept throwing up demos on my CZcams feed. It's a fantastic pedal, best overdrive I have bought to date, by far, smooth creamy germy tones. It does sound good into my Avalanche Run too.

    Wow, super cool playing! The Cranker sounds great too and I know how great because I already have one. I use it as a light articulate fuzz and when I want to go crazy I hit the front of it with a Tube Screamer.

    @BobMaulucci Před 2 lety +1

    Bought mine last wee and it is the best overdrive I own. Love stacking it with the ODR1 or a TS9 or Soul Food. It really is the sound I've been hearing in my head for years. I'm favoring the silicone side so far.

    Probably the wrong video to leave this comment, but I really wish that the Avalanche Run had either a toggle to leave the reverb on all the time (surely I can not be the only one who doesn't want to go from totally dry to verb+delay, right?) or, better still, a third switch that would allow you to turn the reverb off/on, the delay off/on, and a tap.

    I swear I used to have that exact shirt! I had to return it back to the thrift store system from which it came because I got too fat and it was too good of a find to waste away in the back of my closet.
    Anyway, Powell is a dope player. Good for her.

    Can this be used a straight up boost? What other overdrives is it similar to?

    • @EarthQuakerDevices
      @EarthQuakerDevices  Před 2 lety

      It can't be as clean as a clean boost but you can dial back your input volume and see for yourself. it can get somewhat close depending on the application. It is eerily similar to the speaker cranker!
