The EarthQuaker Devices Easy Listening is an analog amp simulator designed to deliver warm, responsive amp-like tone in a compact and intuitive pedal. Built by hand in Akron, Ohio, Easy Listening captures the feel, compression, and tonal richness of classic amplifiers without relying on digital modeling. Its dynamic analog circuitry creates a flexible platform for clean tones, pushed breakup, and harmonically rich drive—perfect for players who want amp character without the weight, noise, or volume of a traditional amp. It fits effortlessly into any guitar effects setup as a preamp, direct rig tool, or tone-shaping workhorse.
Easy Listening is EarthQuaker’s take on the modern amp-sim trend—and it stands apart because it is fully analog, beautifully voiced, and incredibly musical. It gives players the feel of a great amp even at low volume or in silent-stage setups. Whether you are using it as a preamp, an “always on” tone sweetener, or the front end of a direct rig, it delivers natural compression, warmth, and clarity. For worship players, studio musicians, and guitarists seeking simplicity with great tone, Easy Listening hits the mark.
