EarthQuaker Devices Gary blends pulse-width modulation with fuzz and overdrive to create synth-like textures, harmonic movement, and aggressive wave-shaping. Read more.
The EarthQuaker Devices Gary is a unique fuzz/overdrive hybrid built around automatic pulse width modulation, delivering rich harmonic movement and synth-like textures that stand apart from conventional fuzz or distortion pedals. Gary transforms your signal into a dynamically shifting waveform, producing tones that can be smooth and vocal, biting and reactive, or wildly modulated depending on how hard you play. It's a creative, expressive tool that adds a new dimension of movement to any guitar effects setup.
Gary is one of those pedals that immediately sparks creativity. Its pulse width modulation design creates motion and harmonic depth that you simply can't get from traditional fuzz or overdrive pedals. Whether you're crafting aggressive synth-like tones, thick harmonic drones, or expressive lead sounds, Gary offers a unique voice that stands out in any mix.
