Earthquaker Barrows

Greetings, sound archaeologists and fuzz disciples! You are looking at one of the most revered and mystical circuits in the pantheon of guitar effects: the classic TB MkII with three transistors. The Barrows pays homage to this iconic temple of germanium while adding modern refinements that would make even the most demanding vintage purists weep with harmonic joy. The original MkII circuit was the secret weapon behind some of the most powerful riffs ever recorded. From the dark songs of the caves at the dawn of metal to the wall-of-sound symphonies conjured by the greatest wizards of shoegaze, this legendary topology has been the basis for countless sonic monuments. Now, with Barrows, you can channel that same dazzling magic while enjoying the reliability and versatility offered by modern craftsmanship. At the heart of Barrows is a trio of carefully matched germanium transistors, nestled in a finely tuned circuit that has been meticulously designed to produce everything from light, singing distortion to crushing fuzz tones with almost infinite harmonic sustain. This isn't just another fuzz pedal, it's a gateway to the legendary sounds that have haunted the dreams of fuzz fanatics for decades. The Barrows offers the characteristic mid-focused tones with powerful bass and bright highs that made the original MkII a studio legend. But unlike its temperamental ancestors, the Barrows benefits from several modern improvements that transform it from a vintage curiosity into a contemporary powerhouse. The phase-corrected and buffered output ensures good compatibility with other downstream pedals, while the increased output volume and wide range of fuzz tones make it a versatile sonic weapon. All this power is packed into a compact enclosure that saves you valuable space on your pedalboard, because every square inch counts when you're building your sonic arsenal. Gone are the days of complicated positive-ground power supplies and battery-only operation. The Barrows runs on standard 9V power supplies, making it compatible with all common power sources for pedalboards. True bypass switching ensures that your signal remains intact when the pedal is off, while the MkII circuitry works its germanium magic when you need it.

Features:

  • Level: Controls the output volume of the Barrows. The unity gain is around noon, but you'll get a significant volume boost when you need to push your amplifier to the max.
  • Attack: This is where the magic happens. At lower settings, the Barrows offers a singing distortion, similar to that of an amp, with superb touch sensitivity. As you turn clockwise, the circuit transforms into an increasingly aggressive fuzz monster, producing crushing, sustain-saturated sounds that seem to last forever. The wide range of this control allows you to find everything you want, from slight distortion to total sonic annihilation. Pro Tips For best results, place this pedal first in the signal chain. Like most classic fuzz circuits, Barrows has a very low input impedance and works best when it receives the signal directly from the guitar input. Do not place a buffer before Barrows. Barrows responds beautifully to the dynamics of your playing and your guitar's volume control. Try turning down your guitar's volume for cleaner sounds, then turning it up for more aggressive textures. Germanium transistors give Barrows a unique musical response that reacts to your touch like a living, breathing entity. Power Supply This device operates on standard 9-volt DC power with a 2.1 mm cylindrical plug with the negative pole in the center. We always recommend using pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall power supplies or isolated multi-output power supplies. Pedals produce additional noise when there is ripple or dirty power. Switching power supplies, series chains, and non-pedal-specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and allow unwanted noise to pass through. DO NOT USE WITH HIGHER VOLTAGES!
