Gary is a dual-purpose powerhouse created in collaboration with Lee Kiernan of IDLES. This little guy has huge sound potential. EarthQuaker Devices and Lee have combined dynamic envelope-controlled pulse-width modulated fuzz with a rich natural-sounding overdrive. Gary emerges from the depths of decibels in an instant delivering full-bodied amp exploding tones only to return to his dark place at your command. Designed to respond to your playing dynamics the fuzz section transforms your signal into a square wave with interactive pulse width modulation while the overdrive replicates the sought-after sound of the Gray Channels green circuit. With his all-analogue signal path true bypass switching and handcrafted build quality Gary gives you nothing but the meanest IDLES infused tones out there. The fuzz and overdrive can be controlled independently with expression pedal functionality adding even more decibel dominance at the tip of your toes. Compact yet packed with personality this pedal offers a seamless fusion of light and dark tonal possibilities to ignite your creativity. Never fight a pedal with such power.

EarthQuaker Devices
Musician Jamie Stillman founded EarthQuaker Devices in 2004 after moving from pedal repair into circuit design. The first full-production release was the Hoof fuzz in 2007. The company develops its pedals in-house in Akron, Ohio, where it hand-builds and hand-tests them and backs them with a lifetime guarantee. Current JustPedals examples show the range’s practical and exploratory sides: Ghost Echo reverb, Data Corrupter harmonizer, Avalanche Run delay and reverb, and Rainbow Machine pitch shifting. EarthQuaker’s own design philosophy pairs usable controls with sounds that can move well beyond conventional effects.

Overdrive Pedals
Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
Fuzz
Pushes the signal into extreme clipping, often approaching a square wave and producing dense harmonics. Transistor type, bias, input loading and filtering govern whether the texture is smooth, woolly, gated, spluttering, octave-rich or highly responsive to the instrument volume.
True Bypass
Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
