Earthquaker Devices Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator Pedal

Twin Peaks Inspired Stomp Box With a Moody and Sensitive Sound

The Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator is a unique transparent overdrive from our friends at EarthQuaker Devices. This Twin Peaks-inspired stomp box is touch sensitive and incredibly clean sounding, pairing perfectly with a cup of coffee and slice of cherry pie. With a powerful active, dial-controlled EQ section, this pedal can be shaped into any light to medium drive tone. It works wonders with small tube amps and low wattage combo amps, lifting your sound to soaring new heights. You can coax plenty of rich harmonics and delightful sustain from this wonderful little box, somewhat like a clean tube screamer with a ton more level and much more usable EQ.
