Arianna Powell Special Cranker First Impression | EarthQuaker Devices
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Hey EarthQuakers, are you wondering what all the fuss (not fuzz) is about the new EQD Special Cranker? Well, hit play on the above video and let Arianna Powell, guitarist for singer Olivia Rodrigo and solo artist school you on why she likes our new trustworthy overdrive. Arianna knows a lot of cool chords, and as always, her tasteful playing highlights the Special Cranker’s ability to maintain note and chord clarity at low or medium gain settings. Then, using an Avalanche Run for a bit of depth, Arianna shows the benefits of both the silicon and geranium modes and touts the warmth and genuine “amp break-up” sound you can get from this pedal. So, absorb the excellent playing and then go to your nearest online or brick-and-mortar EQD dealer to get a Special Cranker for your pedalboard.

Anyone else hear the “Vegas” riff from Big Thief in the first jam? Love that song, recognized immediately. She’s a brilliant player!
yeah love that song
Not just you!! It started playing in a bother tab and am glad for it
I enjoyed this demo so much. The pedal sounds amazing and Arianna’s plying is really really cool. Like the ambient bluesy thing. There’s probably a fancy genre buzz word, which I don’t know. But Arianna, you rock 🖤
thank you so very much for checking it out!
You are an extraordinary player. I can listen to you just riffing for hours. Your sense of voice, space and pace emerges from a perfect blend of deep chordal play and lyrical single note runs. Your playing is so bluesy listenable. Love it! And you say much with your instrument even in this pedal demo. Bravo! None of that unnecessary, non-musical flashy verbosity I hear so often in these demos. Just thoughtful, moody playing. Outstanding! Keep going. I'm looking forward to hearing the gems you are surely to make as you develop your career. Thank you EarthQuaker Devices. All the best to you!
Young women like Arianna seem to be the future of guitar. They’re doing the most innovative tasteful stuff that feels quite new and fresh.
Thanks for the support! We appreciate you!
She's fantastic, but why would arbitrary chromosomes affect guitar playing?
Nobody cares that she’s a woman….
This was hands down the Best Demo I’ve heard to date. This is a guitar lesson I’m going to have to learn in pieces. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! 😍
That is exactly how I feel about this pedal. She articulated it perfectly, and as always - played some beautiful guitar. Thanks EQD & Arianna!
Thank u!
I keep coming to this video only for her music.. thanks!
It's great to hear a player with such creativity and beautiful tone
well thanks for being here!
I'm crazy about Arianna Powell - she's one of the best guitarists on any scene, and she's in my top 3 favourites. Pedal is EQD, so of course it sounds awesome.
u rule thank you thank you❤️🔥
she's really great, from time to time I rewatch her demo of plumes, that one blows me away every time!
I come back to this demo all the time it introduced me to this guitar player and i love her dynamic tasteful playing
Yeah she got an amazing touch!
JFC thank you... I'm so tired of dudes just running scales to test out pedals; finally I can hear someone play some chords through this thing. Just holy cow thank you again
Glad to help!
So much beautiful texture and yet dynamic when she digs in. Great playing, I really dig her phrasing.
yes, she good😍
She’s really selling it here! Awesome playing. Both pedals sound fantastic.
heck yeah
uh, wow she is *ludicrously* good 🤯🤯🤯🤯
I have *never* heard another player have such a smoothness and fluidity that is ALSO seamlessly articulate and dynamic. Her time and phrasing has me floored.
This is literally some of the best guitar playing ive *ever seen.* 🌸🌈🌿🤯
yeah! did u check out her sesh? ua-cam.com/video/DHS2qxcBInc/v-deo.html
Hearing you talk tech with your soft voice was cool. Really enjoyed the way you phrase as well. God bless n rock on.
Thank you kindly
What a killer player, such great shapes! She makes this pedal sound awesome!
all for you!
Great pedal! Arianna gives a great demo as well!
🥰
In never played a pedal as dynamic as this one. Can't believe that it sound good whatever settings I use. Fell in love immediately after receiving it!!!
that's the ticket
I pair it with an Avalanche Run too and I can get lost in my world playing for hours. Well done once again, EQD!
Yesssss!
I just love her so much. She’s so great. I could listen to her for hours. Her chord voicings are stellar. Very creative and imaginative. Her fluid runs are gorgeous and fresh and I yes. The pedal is awesome. I have to say, just as a sidebar, she would make the trashiest garbage pedal sound amazing. Not to take anything away from that great pedal… that I really want… really bad. It’s just a few bucks, too. Thanks again, EQD. Please make Arianna your official pedal demo artist! 🎶🎶🌻🌈🌅🎶🎶🌷🧡💙🌄
wow thanks!
Sounds amazing with my fender jazz bass! It’s warm and fuzzy without sacrificing the dry signal. You guys killed it once again!
That's great it's working well for you and getting the use it deserves! Thank you!
Killed it as always! Can’t thank Gran Hechicero enough for turning me onto this company! Incredible stuff!
Thank u Goatman and Gran!
Just got mine in the mail the other day, loving it so far. Tons of range on the more knob and plenty of volume on tap. The Germanium side is my favorite so far, but the Silicon side is awesome too. I've tried it with my Orange Th30 & 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb so far and it's sounded excellent with both.
Enjoy! Thank u!
Thanks EarthQuaker! Didn't knew her but I love her style!
thanks for being here, buddy
Once again we find ms Powell outclassing every single one of her contemporaries.
Such great playing. And what a great tone!
Thanks for watching!
Love to see a demo by Arianna her riffs are always great
I love her playing so much. The pedals sound cool too.
❤️❤️❤️
I finally got mine yesterday. It's little red light is glowing at me as I type. I think Siri is listening in and kept throwing up demos on my UA-cam feed. It's a fantastic pedal, best overdrive I have bought to date, by far, smooth creamy germy tones. It does sound good into my Avalanche Run too.
😈🤙🏽 glad it's workin' out for ya! thank uuuuu
Super cool playing! The pedal sounds really good, and I could listen to you play through it all day. You inspired me to order a Special Cranker and do some serious woodshedding!
Great Demo great playing!! Because of you I’m buying this pedal.
Alright!! Enjoy your new pedal :)
This demo was awesome 👌 great job yall 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Cool note choices
Her phrasing is really great. What a wonderful player.
class act all the way
Very tasteful playing.
Thanks for listening
Great sound and awesome playing and arrangement.
Thanks for listening
Great playing! This is the tone I'm looking for...gonna try this one out!
Go for it!
She shreds!!! Perfect demo thank you
Wow, super cool playing! The Cranker sounds great too and I know how great because I already have one. I use it as a light articulate fuzz and when I want to go crazy I hit the front of it with a Tube Screamer.
Your playing is superb! And the tones, are great. Wow.
Fantastic playing. Great technique.
Many thanks!
Okay I watch a lot of these at night, and that outro sound gives flashbacks to the frightening noises of the PlayStation 2
Very nice pedal! First time I hear of Arianna! Awesome guitar player!
check out more of her playing here: ua-cam.com/video/DHS2qxcBInc/v-deo.html !!!
It's nice to hear someone original ideas and such creativity when so many players are so homaganized
Damn, I hadn't heard of her before but she's for sure on my spotify list now! Her tone is superb!
Best drive pedal ever ... for the price, which is REALLY LOW! Thanks, Arianna, great playing!
Glad you like it!
Fantastic playing! Pedal sounds good too. 😁
Glad you think so!
Ive had a Plumes for a couple of years? , and i just found the magic!! ( my fault ) and omg!! I want a backup and a Special Cranker!! Super cool demo!
Yay!
Ive only seen 2 videos show cranker on bass guitar and it sounds so perfect as a bass overdrive
😈
Total Badass. The pedal sounds great too
Very good playing guitar song
Great audio sounds 👍
thanks Peter!
🔊Awesome demo‼️
thanks!
I love the playing! So good. Great tone, too.
GREAT PLAYING!! SWEET TONES TOO.
Bought mine last wee and it is the best overdrive I own. Love stacking it with the ODR1 or a TS9 or Soul Food. It really is the sound I've been hearing in my head for years. I'm favoring the silicone side so far.
that's rad! 🥰
Guess after the hizumitas and astral destiny its time for the crancker...great demo miss powell!
💯😎
It's Friday! Payday in America and I'm about to snatch one of these up and see how awesome it is at 18Volts.
💰 sounds like a plan! have a fun weekend!
Arianna 🖤 Clarity
Sounds amazing, want one..
Hope you get to try one soon! Thanks!
Just got mine and like all my other EQD’s I likes it
Great to hear!😎😎😎 thank you!
ive had one for two weeks now and it has replaced the broadcast on my board which i never thought would happen,, i absolutely love this pedal
🥰 enjoy! thanks!
I have a ton of EQD pedals and this is by far my favorite one !
This is my next pedal. Not that I need another drive pedal at all.
Awesome tone
Jesus Christ what spectacular playing!,!
Great playing 🙏🏻
Amazing player, amazing pedal. What more could you want?
we delivered
Sounds like two must have pedals! I don't own an Earthquaker pedal yet 🤔
Join the fam! Thanks for checkin out the demo!
Sweet style, inspiring
She's very cool.
Dang her hybrid picking is incredible
tru
Hoping I can try one of these out soon! I can’t decide between this or the plumes for my orange.
both for sure
I hear that one a lot. Would if I could but I can only afford one.
That chord progression from 3:01 to 3:06 though!
Damn this sounds incredible and her playing was great too.
Update: I bought the pedal :) lol
Im trying to buy another eqd... idk what to get an plumes or this special cranker???
best. riffs. ever.
I 💘 Arianna
you just joined the club!
@@EarthQuakerDevices oh I've been a member for a while
**looks at my pedalboard*. *jaw drops as Arianna get more mojo out of two pedals than my entire setup**
she's got heart!
Probably the wrong video to leave this comment, but I really wish that the Avalanche Run had either a toggle to leave the reverb on all the time (surely I can not be the only one who doesn't want to go from totally dry to verb+delay, right?) or, better still, a third switch that would allow you to turn the reverb off/on, the delay off/on, and a tap.
talented player..
Killer!
stoked you dug it
I swear I used to have that exact shirt! I had to return it back to the thrift store system from which it came because I got too fat and it was too good of a find to waste away in the back of my closet.
Anyway, Powell is a dope player. Good for her.
💯
Honestly… I think this is the best female guitar player I’ve ever heard
Guitarianna uses the same picks as me.
That's as close to being this good that I will ever get.
ya never know
Would those be Tortex 88s?
Can this be used a straight up boost? What other overdrives is it similar to?
It can't be as clean as a clean boost but you can dial back your input volume and see for yourself. it can get somewhat close depending on the application. It is eerily similar to the speaker cranker!
Seriously, if everyone stopped making pedals we'd all be fine with what we already have
hey there you are!
@@EarthQuakerDevices lol
I might be wrong but it reminds me of the boss blues driver
🤯🤯🤯
damn she's cool...
What is this guitar model?
Gibson ES-335
@EarthQuakerDevices it's a different one I think?
Cool pedal, but for 20 dollars more you could get a Westwood and get a green one instead.
hmm... interesting! 😇
🥰
Can she give me guitar lessons? 🤯
Here you can better appreciate the sound of the pedal, that broken timbre is very successful... Ah, that girl plays!
Nice tasty playing but why are you tubers always playing sitting down? Also even sitting should use a strap. Rock on👍
Ah nah the guitar is like shaped like body parts so they mesh together in multiple configurations.
Sounds like a blown speaker to much breaking up sound like the little cheap amps in the 60s
Isn't it great??? I've been looking for that sound for a while and I found it in this pedal.
just checked out her instagram... what is up with outdoor mask wearing?
Thanks for following her!
Sounds like big thief!
good player - horrid tone
Gibson’s sound like dog dookie to my ears I got 28 seconds in and I can’t stand Gibson’s the sound of shity overpriced guitar
well okay then
