The 12 Days of PedalsAndEffects, Day 10: Earthquaker Devices’ Crimson Drive, Rainbow Machine AND Bit Commander
On the 10th day of PedalsAndEffects you have a chance to win…..Earthquaker Devices‘ Rainbow Machine, Bit Commander AND the soon-to-be-released Crimson Tide (coming out Dec 25)!
I am such a huge fan of Earthquaker Devices that I’m going to perform at the upcoming NAMM show for them to showcase some of the incredible pedals they make. I think Jamie, the creator of Earthquaker Devices, is the hottest pedal designer in the business right now- his line of pedals are helping to shape musicians’ sounds worldwide. His fuzz pedals, like the Hoof Reaper Octave Fuzz, are phenomenal…as seen here on PedalsAndEffects:
His Rainbow Machine is one of the most unique pedals ever made:
This video doesn’t do the pedal justice so please take my word. The Rainbow Machine is such a musical pedal because it gives any normal sound a truly psychedelic and futuristic element. I combine this pedal with his Organizer and it makes me feel as if I can fill the gaps just like a synthesizer would.
The Bit Commander has an entirely higher level of synthesizer pedal tricks than most other pedals. It has a sub knob that is two octaves down, which I crank all the way so I can shake the entire room. Then it has an octave down, an octave up, and a base square signal to get you in the synthetic area. All that plus a filter knob to dial it all in to your mix. This results in everyone in your band telling you to turn down! I shake bottles off of bars with this one, and you can too.
Earthquaker Devices’ new Crimson Drive is set to take on all overdrives because it delivers pure, uncompressed tone to your amplifier. It’s like cranking up an SVT or Marshall amplifier all the way. Earthquaker Devices puts all the attention into the electronics and keeps the functions simple with Gain, Level and Drive knobs. I put the Crimson Drive before their Hoof Reaper Octave Fuzz and it kicks that fuzz into overdrive!
Enter this contest and maybe you will win what I think are three of the hottest pedals in the last couple of decades. The Crimson Drive, The Rainbow Machine and the Bit Commander are all indispensable to me and what I do.

About the “Twitter” complaints: These companies (that I’ve handpicked because I’m personally a fan) have been generous enough to participate in this giveaway. Earlier in the giveaway you could “like” a Facebook page or answer a question; the last couple of times it’s been Twitter. It’s free, easy to get and- after the giveaway- you can delete your account. If you don’t like it, it’s your choice not to enter which I respect; I simply ask that you do the same.
Arriba Juan! Arriba EQ DEV!!

Wow this is in my eyes the ultimate pedal giveaway! I’ve heard so much about EarthQuaker Devices pedals and i’ve got my fingers crossed that I win them!
I’d never used twitter until the 12 days of christmas started and now I find it’s great. I don’t post a lot but I log on and see what’s up, just found out about a new shep on bass interview with Jonathan Hischke. Stoked!
Shit Juan. I’m broke as fuck and these pedals are redonkulous. If I win ill totally go Nintebdooo 64 kid crazy and post it on ur site. But I’ll run the audio through the rainbow machine!
Now this is my idea of pedals to have — given my love of making my guitars sound like they’re either from another planet, or one of the nastier rings of Hell, pedals like these are right in my wheelhouse.
I had to create a twitter account for these give aways. But Either way! I’m grateful Juan is giving away such awesome things for Christmas.
For those that are complaining about the twitter thing, shut the hole in your face, be grateful.
for mee.
Man.. i just done it & very cool giveaway Juan.
