Want to crank your pedalboard into a wall of fuzz, delay, and modulation without waking the house? EarthQuaker Devices has your back. Their new Easy Listening analog amp simulator is a game-changer for silent practice, offering authentic amp-like tone in a format compact enough to live right on your pedalboard.
Designed in EarthQuaker Devices‘ hometown of Akron, Ohio, the Easy Listening is built with the same boutique quality and attention to sonic detail that has made EarthQuaker Devices one of the most respected names in effects. And this time, they’ve applied their pedal wizardry to a common guitarist struggle — how to practice with your pedal rig without cranking a full amp.
The Easy Listening is a class AB analog circuit paired with cabinet simulation inspired by a legendary black-panel combo from the mid-’60s, renowned for its pedal-friendly character. The result is a rich, dynamic response that replicates the explosive feel of a real amp through your headphones or directly into a recording console.
Controls are gloriously simple. One volume knob. That’s it. No menus, no IR loading, no extra fuss. Plug in your board, connect your headphones (or a TRS cable straight to your DAW or mixer), and start playing. Whether you’re sculpting tones for a live set or laying down demos in your bedroom studio, the Easy Listening makes it all effortless — and silent.
From clean ambient textures to overdriven madness, whatever wild sounds you’re chasing, EarthQuaker Devices founder Jamie Stillman and his team have ensured this tiny tool handles them all — with zero digital interference and maximum analog character.
