To be fair, the format he/she/they uses to show pedals is pretty damn effective. It shows the capabilities of a pedal quickly without disrupting the flow of the video by having a guy talk every 30 seconds.
i've never seen so many people i love in a single video. got me emotional and missing my home town a ton. the score is killer too. most excellent job, knobs folks.
watching this makes me enjoy powder coating these devices more than ever I never realized how complex these are im glad to say I've coated nearly every pedal for at least the last year and a half
I own 9 eqd pedals and pretty much now look to them before I look for other companies for what I'm looking for as far as effects go. It's nice to know that the pedals they make aren't just a modded clone of another pedal but something different and special. Hands down the best effects pedal company out there.
The film making skills on display here are far above what your view and subscriber count normally indicate. Congratulations on this incredible film, and I can't wait to see what you do next.
Thanks for watching! It was a pleasure having Knobs around, and we're grateful to be the subjects of such a rad film. We're so psyched on this that we're hosting a theatrical screening in Akron, Ohio on 12/27 - www.nightlightcinema.com/film/goodnight-brooklyn/
My friend from Cincinnati would dispute that. He tried using my Rainbow Machine and he couldn't wrap his head around it at all. LOL What's ironic is that he's into experimental stuff. So, I got a good laugh out of the fact that it tripped him up. So, I used it when we jammed together instead. Ordering an Avalanche Run later in the week. I'm so psyched!
This is the best documentary i have ever seen ... so honest, and lovingly quirky really lifting up the good old hardworking people making these lovely pedals. My biggest sincere thanks for this.. a true joy to watch !!
This was wonderful and I'm so happy to see that Jamie's company is flourishing. I know him from the days of the Party of Helicopters and "New" Terror Class. Both excellent bands! And Harriet the Spy was one of my favorite bands ever. I even have a HTS tattoo!!
I know this has been out a few years and it's been showered in compliments, but this is the first video of yours I watched and I was completely floored. I am quickly going through and giving the rest of your videos a watch. This is so wonderfully well done. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to these videos.
What kills me is that a few months ago, I was in the weeds with EarthQuaker. I saw a video on Andertons TV showcasing some of their oddities and now I know tons of people that work there. I've made it out to EarthQuaker Day and PorchRokr and I go see people like Corey play locally and it is inspiring and comforting to see them love their work and see their musicianship.
I'm about 3 and a half years late to the party, but my store is the main EQD dealer in my area and seeing this is just.. so wonderful. Everyone I've met at NAMM or worked with through the store has just been so wonderful, and it's so satisfying to see all these people who help my store succeed be as wonderful as I've always assumed. Thank you
This damn near made me cry. Great video, and bless Earthquaker Devices. Does a northeast Ohioan proud to see such phenomenal work being done in Akron. I'll always have a couple of these on my boards.
Just FYI - we're hosting a theatrical screening at The Nightlight in Akron, OH on 12/27! It's a double-feature w/ "Goodnight Brooklyn - The Story of Death By Audio" Pedal builders unite! www.nightlightcinema.com/film/goodnight-brooklyn/
Seeing this makes me feel better about spending a little more to have the EarthQuakerDevices. Great job to the workers and to everyone involved in the documentation.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam and I’ve been watching a lot of UA-cam for a lot of years. It wasn’t just a video or even a short film, it was so much more. You somehow managed to capture the exact feel and vibe of not only EQD HQ but of each person in the film and the entire city of Akron. I could picture living there in the summer time and I could almost smell the air. That’s what a good film maker does. They open up a window to a world and for a very short amount of time you get to be a part of that world. All of your content has magical elements attached to it but this for me was something special.
I already love their pedals but now I just love them even more. It makes you happy to know so much love and care is going into something that you use so much.
do something that you are passionate about and you will NEVER work another day, and these designers/artists are living proof. Brilliant job team. please for the sake of humanity, keep these highly inspirational movies coming. maximum love and respect from New zealand.
21:47 - whatever that thing Gory Juba is playing through, I'd buy that, it's been a personal quest of mine to make my guitar sound like a broken Atari 2600 system for about....eh....almost the whole time I've been playing guitar.
Earthquaker is the first pedal company that I truly fell in love with. Love my Hoof, Grand Orbiter, Disaster Transport, and Afterneath! Going to need to add to that soon.
I don't even know what to say first... this was inspiring, encouraging, and it makes me want to buy more of their pedals to support their vision. Why can't corporate America look like this?
This is so very great on many levels. For a company to affect someone so positively and then be able to bring the appreciation back in this fashion is art. Thanks.
Knobs making a film with loads and loads of talk, and it works! Who would have thought that possible? These Earthquakers makes me emotional, touched, happy, excited, and proud on behalf of humanity, like only super skilled visual artists, musicians, skateboarders, street-trial-bikers and parkourists can do. I will probably never afford buying any of their artworks, but after watching this I think they are dead cheap. Also kudos for putting cat and dog inn there. I think they should dedicate a pedal to Elsa, 11:40 and call it Bark probably. And while they'r at it, maybe a Meow pedal to.
I found your channel last night and it actually blew my mind. I love the playfulness and wit that you present your content with, and that you manage to remain informative and artistic in doing so. Seriously, what a unique and impressive little channel you've got here. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Really cute, touching and inspiring video. As an AKC native, I'm really moved by the passion that's happening here. Makes me miss playing shows up in Akron back in highschool, and that entire scene of good people. Great mini-doc, everyone
loved it. Such a great company, killer pedals and sweet people. Keep it up EQD! Also thanks Knobs for making this awesome mini movie. You guys did a great job!
So much fun. I really wish I understood this stuff well enough to come up with designs myself, but all of the amazing builders we have now are a fantastic consolation.
This is such a fantastic piece of filmmaking. I fell in love with Earthquaker Devices even more because of this mini movie. Well done Knobs... well done!
I worked at Pro-co sound for years and made Rats and started the custom wiring department. You company reminds me a lot of working there, you know working till midnight & loving it. I even have a friend in G.R. who had a company in the basement until their daughter named them. Then I got the retailer and on page 18 there was your ad. The one that doesn't do Subtle. Yes you can enjoy music again. Your pedals bleed sounds, the first pedal I got that did that was the Dan Electro Sitar Swami and its drone tones & hoped that atmospheres and sounds you could sync to rhythm would come to pedals & here you are, and more. If I had a dream come true it would be you guys making a bass pedal synth. with 13 pin ball machine buttons for a pedal board and an analog synth. sound module all in one unit. That way I could play bass with my feet and cause an earthquake. Keep the Love. John
I've always loved your videos, but this is really award-worthy. Great job. I have two EQD pedals, and they are astonishingly good (Bellows and Levitation).
I love your pedals, I'm a beginner guitarist but long time bassist and using the Dispatch Masters reverb and beautiful delay truly sent me in a guitar bliss on multiple nights. Can't wait to get a palisades soon, thank you!
The Gear Pink Floyd wishes they had 50 years ago!! But hey we need it more than they do.Great Products! I was at the first EarthQuaker Pedal Day last August. Lots of Fun and Great people.
Knobs , you’re awesome. And EarthQuaker devices is such a cool company. Starting noticing them about a year ago. Was planning on getting the transmisser . Saw it got discontinued not too long ago. Told my self I had to find one that wasn’t price gouged . I did and it’s amazing. Their pedals are truly unique. After getting the pedal I started looking at their website and was blown away. They truly do care about the people they serve. A lifetime warranty is the most real shit any pedal company has ever done. Not to mention how good they represent their employees and image. You can tell everyone is important to them. Talented people , making a quality product. at more than fair prices ,all by hand. What’s not to love about EarthQuaker . Can’t wait to get more pedals. And I will surely recommend them to any musician I know.😎😎😎
Such a great company that has true passion for their work. This video definitely motivates me to keep hand making pedals on my own and hope to work in a place as great as this someday.
EQD are inspirational! I play folky instruments, and some of these sounds amazing with your pedals! Nyckelharpa and Afterneath is my favourite combo so far! Keep up the good work guys, and keep it weird!
Best editing quality for a guitar related channel hands down.
True. His content and editing are excellent. It's so good that I've seen a number of other channels start ripping him off and copy catting his format.
To be fair, the format he/she/they uses to show pedals is pretty damn effective. It shows the capabilities of a pedal quickly without disrupting the flow of the video by having a guy talk every 30 seconds.
i've never seen so many people i love in a single video. got me emotional and missing my home town a ton. the score is killer too. most excellent job, knobs folks.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
watching this makes me enjoy powder coating these devices more than ever I never realized how complex these are im glad to say I've coated nearly every pedal for at least the last year and a half
Thanks for watching, Chris! You're doing a great job! We're glad to be working together with you.
Thank you for your skilled word! Loving the finish on my new pedal!
Cool! Still powder coating eqd pedals?
I own 9 eqd pedals and pretty much now look to them before I look for other companies for what I'm looking for as far as effects go. It's nice to know that the pedals they make aren't just a modded clone of another pedal but something different and special. Hands down the best effects pedal company out there.
Thanks so much for your support! It really means a lot to us.
Knobs could make videos about anything, and it'd be fantastic. This was amazing.
The film making skills on display here are far above what your view and subscriber count normally indicate. Congratulations on this incredible film, and I can't wait to see what you do next.
Thanks for watching! It was a pleasure having Knobs around, and we're grateful to be the subjects of such a rad film. We're so psyched on this that we're hosting a theatrical screening in Akron, Ohio on 12/27 - www.nightlightcinema.com/film/goodnight-brooklyn/
I agree the overall production quality in every aspect is insane. I'm looking forward to more films from them
EQD are so original. The effects are all so useable but can get so weird. In my opinion, possibly the best pedal company on the market.
Aw, man! Thanks so much! Keep it weird, yo.
My friend from Cincinnati would dispute that. He tried using my Rainbow Machine and he couldn't wrap his head around it at all. LOL What's ironic is that he's into experimental stuff. So, I got a good laugh out of the fact that it tripped him up. So, I used it when we jammed together instead. Ordering an Avalanche Run later in the week. I'm so psyched!
I agree
"This is the first place I blew up a capacitor, hit me in the eye... sucked.."
Love this doc
Thanks for watching, Robert! Lookout for rogue capacitors!
So beautiful. I feel emotionally attached to everything you put out, and to see things about real people doing pedal things - man.
Man
25 minutes video from knobs, am I dreaming?
This is the best documentary i have ever seen ... so honest, and lovingly quirky really lifting up the good old hardworking people making these lovely pedals. My biggest sincere thanks for this.. a true joy to watch !!
Thanks for watching!
I'm convinced earthquakes devices are the best pedal company that exists. I have never ever heard or played a bad one. They are all good to great.
This was wonderful and I'm so happy to see that Jamie's company is flourishing. I know him from the days of the Party of Helicopters and "New" Terror Class. Both excellent bands! And Harriet the Spy was one of my favorite bands ever. I even have a HTS tattoo!!

Hey Michael, thanks so much!

Random aside from so many years later: The part at 15:15 sounds like something that has been since added to the Afterneath v3 :)
Cool as hell.
This damn near made me cry. Great video, and bless Earthquaker Devices. Does a northeast Ohioan proud to see such phenomenal work being done in Akron. I'll always have a couple of these on my boards.

Your editing sometimes reminds me of Don Herzfeldt. Perfect timing, and satirical in the most perfectly subtle way.
Lovely as always, Knobs.

Wow the beginnings of the Transmisser. One of their best!
Soldering wizardry! What an amazingly talented group of folks all round. Knobs included!
not only are their pedals outrageously cool this is the sort of high quality intimate film-making that i live for. this channel is a treasure
Just four minutes in and the cinematography and editing in this project is incredible.This is a fantastic piece about a really cool company!
This was a beautiful little documentary.
I already love their pedals but now I just love them even more. It makes you happy to know so much love and care is going into something that you use so much.

The EQD Data corrupter might be your best bet!
Earthquaker is the first pedal company that I truly fell in love with. Love my Hoof, Grand Orbiter, Disaster Transport, and Afterneath! Going to need to add to that soon.
That lawnmower sounded great in that context.
I don't even know what to say first... this was inspiring, encouraging, and it makes me want to buy more of their pedals to support their vision. Why can't corporate America look like this?
12:16 i really wanna hear what the one labeled "synth" sounds like
Humans can be so much fun. So kind. So lovable.
This is so very great on many levels. For a company to affect someone so positively and then be able to bring the appreciation back in this fashion is art. Thanks.
Knobs, this is seriously fantastic. You need to shop this around to all the pedal makers to do a mini movie for all of them! :P
Knobs making a film with loads and loads of talk, and it works! Who would have thought that possible?
These Earthquakers makes me emotional, touched, happy, excited, and proud on behalf of humanity, like only super skilled visual artists, musicians, skateboarders, street-trial-bikers and parkourists can do.
I will probably never afford buying any of their artworks, but after watching this I think they are dead cheap.
Also kudos for putting cat and dog inn there.
I think they should dedicate a pedal to Elsa, 11:40 and call it Bark probably. And while they'r at it, maybe a Meow pedal to.
I have a newfound respect for EQD. As someone who wants to learn to build pedals, this is insightful and absolutely incredible.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making awesome pedals! Bought The Depths on a recent trip to Ohio and I plan to get some more soon
25 mins of pure pedal bliss. Thanks.
This made me love Earthquaker even more!
I didn't know that was even possible!
This was dope and I'm not even finish watching it
I found your channel last night and it actually blew my mind. I love the playfulness and wit that you present your content with, and that you manage to remain informative and artistic in doing so. Seriously, what a unique and impressive little channel you've got here. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Dear lord I would love to work there so bad
Brilliant+ on all levels. Thank you.
Really cute, touching and inspiring video. As an AKC native, I'm really moved by the passion that's happening here. Makes me miss playing shows up in Akron back in highschool, and that entire scene of good people. Great mini-doc, everyone
This is awesome.
Great to see the faces and stories behind some of the pedals on my board.
Great job Knobs! Keep doing what you do!
What a beautiful movie, just beautiful.
a lovely, lyrical little oddity
loved it. Such a great company, killer pedals and sweet people. Keep it up EQD! Also thanks Knobs for making this awesome mini movie. You guys did a great job!
Handsful of warm thanks to both Knobs and the EQD sodality; the arc of our ears is long, but bends toward thee.
So much fun. I really wish I understood this stuff well enough to come up with designs myself, but all of the amazing builders we have now are a fantastic consolation.
Great job, and so great to see the faces behind them
This is such a fantastic piece of filmmaking. I fell in love with Earthquaker Devices even more because of this mini movie. Well done Knobs... well done!
Killing it Knobs! This was awesome.
God's blessings Jamie & Julie and all you astounding human souls at EQD !! Beautifully made serendipitous film indeed.
Awesome! Proud EQD pedal owner. Love my Palisades! Want a Rainbow Machine...and more, of course. Keep it up guys & gals!
WHAT IS THAT SYNTH PEDAL. THANKS KNOBS! THANKS EQD!
I worked at Pro-co sound for years and made Rats and started the custom wiring department. You company reminds me a lot of working there, you know working till midnight & loving it.

I've always loved your videos, but this is really award-worthy. Great job. I have two EQD pedals, and they are astonishingly good (Bellows and Levitation).
This is a great film style. It's highly entertaining and contains just enough information to keep me hooked.
Incredible documentary. Thank you for all the hard work put into creating inspiring videos.
Loved it and I share your obsession with music ....frequencies are what life is all about
What a brilliant film!
This channel deserves way more subscribers
This is such a soothing doc for my mind, it was perfectly timed that this was my next auto-play
Love y’all so much
This was amazing! Very well put documentary. I really hope to see more of these types of videos with other pedal companies.
Thanks for watching! I want to see this kind of documentary for EVERY pedal company!
This was awesome. I'd love to see more of these on other companies like OBNE or Chase Bliss Audio.
You have outdone yourself, sir. EQD makes beautiful gadgets and you make enthralling videos. It's a match made in heaven. Keep. It. Up.
I love your pedals, I'm a beginner guitarist but long time bassist and using the Dispatch Masters reverb and beautiful delay truly sent me in a guitar bliss on multiple nights. Can't wait to get a palisades soon, thank you!
This is perfect, great job knobs
It makes me so happy inside to see companies like this still exist. I will pay the money over a mass chinese to be a tiny part of this.
This is pure love, damn. EQD ♥
Keep on rockin'!!!
Great sounds!!!!!
Holy crap this is so awesome!
Love you guys!
This video is pretty stinkin awesome. Thanks
This is freaking great all around.
Thank you!
totally brilliant, what a great team
The Gear Pink Floyd wishes they had 50 years ago!! But hey we need it more than they do.Great Products! I was at the first EarthQuaker Pedal Day last August. Lots of Fun and Great people.
Loved this! Thank you thank you thank you
Bless knobs. Thank you so much for this!
THAT WAS AMAZING, KNOBS! YOU HAVE A TALENT!
Julie, "dream crusher", the best name for a fuzz!! And Knobs, your amazing man. Or woman.
As soon as I get home from my holiday, I'm ordering an Avalanche Run!!
Simply awesome video of a simply awesome company. Amazing job with this, Scott!!!
That's excellent. Thank you.
Knobs , you’re awesome. And EarthQuaker devices is such a cool company. Starting noticing them about a year ago. Was planning on getting the transmisser . Saw it got discontinued not too long ago.

Outstanding!!!
Long live EQD! I can't wait to own one(or all) of your many inspiring pedals! You guys are truly game changers!
Thanks, Daniel!
Hear hear
Fantastic doco! Loved it. Ahhh, that made me feel good.
Makes me wanna bust out my fuzz pedal project again and get that thing magical...!
Knobs this is so good!
Now... that's the way you tell a story!
You guys... you rule! thxs!
I love you EQD!
Such a great company that has true passion for their work. This video definitely motivates me to keep hand making pedals on my own and hope to work in a place as great as this someday.
Thanks for the kind words, Alexandra! Keep building pedals!
EQD are inspirational! I play folky instruments, and some of these sounds amazing with your pedals! Nyckelharpa and Afterneath is my favourite combo so far! Keep up the good work guys, and keep it weird!
This was an amazing video. Please make another.
Great shit knobs! I loved the cinematography and direction
More virtual hugs for you guys
The best guitar pedal company of the moment.
I've already sent my Resume...... :-)
