Welcome to your new EarthQuaker Devices
to-basics, transistor-based dirt device. This two-knob wonder has a whole lot of character for
such a simple, unassuming pedal. It straddles the line between amp-like grit and fuzzy saturation
to create a remarkably vintage, tweed-type tone.
Similar to the volume control of a "non master" amp, the Drive determines how hard the signal
hits the input. At lower drive levels it's a little wider and grittier. Resist the usual urge to dime
it and keep the Drive low for mellow, amp-like break up. Slowly bring up the Drive and you'll
eventually end up in blown-out fuzz land, having passed a bunch of useful distorted places in
between. It's pretty much every era of rock n' roll in a box. While designed for guitar, Bellows
also handles bass extremely well at growling low and scorching high levels. And if you're a guitar
player that fancies themselves a bass player– then forget it, this is your favorite dirt pedal.
Each and every Bellows is made by a bunch of bearded dudes and a couple ladies in the comedic
drama section of Akron, Ohio.

Level: Adjusts the output level by setting the bias voltage of the transistor. A small amount
of noise while dialing this in is perfectly normal.

Drive: Controls the input gain of the device for different levels of dirt. You'll find that it is
thinner and more clean counterclockwise and thicker with more growl clockwise.
