EarthQuaker Devices Easy Listening

Welcome to Easy Listening—your new best bud for silent shredding! With its finely tuned preamp circuitry and sweet analog cabinet simulation, Easy Listening delivers a big, lush sound with zero latency and no harsh digital artifacts. Think of it as the perfect marriage of vintage tone and modern convenience, offering all the high headroom and low noise of an actual tube amp but small enough to fit in your pocket. No menu diving, no IR loading, and nothing else getting in-between you and your tone. Whether you are using this as a headphone amp or the final stage before your recording interface for quick and easy amp-less recording, we think you’ll find this no fuss simulator a delightful addition to your tonal toolbox!

As the name implies, Easy Listening is as simple as it can be to operate, just one control for output volume and that's it. Internally, it's meticulously voiced to capture the soul of one of our favorite classic American guitar amps—a '65 Deluxe—with all the harmonic complexity guitar players crave. Its all-analog circuitry provides a more immediate feel with rich low-end resonance, slightly scooped mids, and that crystalline top end chime that makes electric guitars sing.

Designed with guitarists that use a lot of pedals in mind, Easy Listening features a high 1 MOhm input impedance and ample headroom to handle everything from vintage fuzz to modern stacked gain stages without breaking a sweat. The high-fidelity, low-noise analog class AB driver ensures you'll maintain every nuance of your tone at whisper-quiet headphone levels or tracking sick riffs in your secret basement studio.

Each Easy Listening is built by a powerful robot and a whole bunch of delightful humans in the exotic former rubber capital of the world, Akron, Ohio USA.

Power
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
