## Description

Speaker Cranker OverdriveThe Speaker Cranker is an all discrete dirt enhancement device designed to give your signal some grit and a slight boost without drastically changing the character or tone of your set up. It’s perfect for those that don’t like to fiddle with pesky controls yet want to add a little tube-like breakup or enhance an already over driven amp (or pedal) to give it some extra crunch without over loading the preamp. The single “More” control allows you choose the amount of break up you desire. Just like you would with a tube amp, back it off to thin out the sound and clean it up or crank it up for a fuller sound with a bit of compression. Did we mention it’s an overdrive and not a booster? All analog, true bypass and handmade one at a time in the pit of Akron, Ohio.Speaker Cranker OverdriveView larger Speaker Cranker OverdriveView largerMeasures: 4.37″ X 2.37″ X 1.5″ with knobs.

    Best overdrive I own - and I own an embarrassing number of them
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2020*

This pedal is perfect. It's a crying shame that Earthquaker is discontinuing it. I think people just couldn't wrap their head around a pedal called "Speaker Cranker" that doesn't actually crank your speaker. It just delivers the breakup that your speaker would have if it WERE cranked.I shopped carefully for my guitars and amplifiers. I love the sound of all of them, but sometimes (often) I want a little more grit than my amps deliver at rehearsal / club gig volume. The Speaker Cranker is perfect. My guitars and amplifiers sound exactly like themselves -- but with the drive they'd have at higher volumes.I've bought an embarrassing number of overdrive pedals, and nearly all of them color the tone in some unwanted way. Speaker Cranker doesn't. The one knob is labeled "More" and I can see why they chose that word; Speaker Cranker adds the grit that your amp would have if you cranked it. But Speaker Cranker is not a boost, which is probably why the pedal hasn't sold a bajillion units. (Though to be honest, from about 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock, it does boost your volume some.)The pedal is thoughtfully designed. The large chicken-head knob is easy to adjust with your foot as you're playing,As I write this, Amazon has only one less-than-five-star review of the Speaker Cranker. The reviewer complained about a build defect. Did he miss the memo? Earthquaker fully warrantees all of their pedals for life. I once bought an EQD Bit Commander used. I had a problem with it, sent it to Earthquaker, and they fixed it for free.

    Easy to use and sounds great
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014*

This is just the kind of overdrive I was looking for. It's so simple to use and sounds great. I like that I can have the effect just slightly up and it adds just a touch of grit to my signal. It doesn't alter the tone of the guitar too much either--no bass rolloff or strong mid boost. I highly recommend it.

    I do not recommend this for rock and anything heavy
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2015*

This is a low gain/transparent overdrive pedal design to go to the edge of break up. I can describe this sound as a Fender (Tweedish Amp sound)This is the simplest pedal to use for your need especially for rhythm, blues and country.  I do not recommend this for rock and anything heavy. I do recommend The Arrows in front of this pedal to add more volume. (That too is a great pedal that pushes the volume of your sound).
