@@scirasco1 I believe there are around 50 employees at Earthquaker. See my interview with Jamie Stillman, the founder/president of the company, he talks more about it: ua-cam.com/video/JStaHi5vs-4/v-deo.html Thanks! Mitch
I just got an EarthQuaker devices Dispatch master. And they are now my favorite pedal. I will be checking out more of their products and purchasing from Sweetwater.
Terrible after sales support maybe because there cheap and with all the chinese copies out even way cheaper they cannot address issues 2/10 shop around
I’ve admired EQD from a distance for a while, and I think it’s time I got one... Love seeing this sort of pedal Renaissance - crazy variety, sounds for everyone, and mainly handmade. Great video.
This is interesting and fun to watch. Love these behind the scenes building gear videos. Can EarthQuaker Devices design us a looper with a metronome feature? Nothing fancy just a knob to adjust tempo. My ditto looper is my band. My band hates me because I can’t play in time with the rhythm guitar. If I had a drummer ‘Metronome’ in my band people might stop throwing beer bottles at me and yelling things like, ‘Do the world a favor and go wash your mouth out with buckshot’. Just sayin.
I have to make a complaint here. The most important worker there, at 16:19, was not introduced to us. This is very offensive with him. Without him there would be no EQD, we all know.
Old fasion electronic manufacturing.. really only for small scale production. It look like the ESD procedures and equipment need some attention even most components are analog there are still some that will be prone to damage by sparks etc. And the mounting stations can be upgraded quite allot and still suit the low volume run's. But great tour! and great pedals (have a few).
I guess with inflation it really is about $400 for their bigger more detailed pedals. I've always thought the price was fair though. Keep in mind that Jamie spends years tweaking and designing circuits. This video also doesn't show the time and skill it takes for some of the more detailed soldering. In the video he mentions the boards with "surface mount" components. These tend to be a huge pain in the ass, and these are found on their more expensive pedals, like the Avalanche Run. They also get high quality components which can cost up to (if not more) $50USD (probably around $80 for you?). The fact that they have pedals starting at $135 (in Canada) is actually pretty fair.
There's also the cost of buying and maintaining all of these machines. There's the cost of the building, the cost of labor, the cost of having a graphic designer from Marvel...

Would of been nice to know how many people work for the company

EQD is such an amazing company. I’m slowly becoming a die hard EQD fan!

Damn Sweetwater! Ending the decade with a bunch of great behind the scenes videos - please keep em coming!
EQD is impenetrably cool.
Give me ten good men and some good climbing rope ..and I could penetrate the bitch. 😊

Their stuff is really cool. I have three of their pedals. Some do quirky things that other pedals don’t. Check out the Rainbow Machine.
Nice. I was an early adopter and received compliments on my playing when it was the Earthquaker device doing all the work.
Love the Sweetwater manufacturer tours.
It is so weird how u talk about Brian right behind his back instead of just asking him. We want more Brian. Give us Brian
Benjamin Brody yes definitely and also Ali, we want more Ali. Yes much more please. 😁🤣👍🤘👊
And mike yes more mike too! 😁👍
It felt so awkward
This is great! Thank you Sweetwater and Earthquaker Devices for doing this!
Loved getting a tour at EarthQuaker Day 2019! Looking forward to attending in 2020 to see what new shenanigans the wonderful people at EQD are up to!
Very interesting to see the process. I had a job at one time doing bench work and really loved it.
This was a fun tour Thanks 🙂
🙂👊
Good job Brian.
Very cool. Thanks for the virtual tour.
I like that each pedal is buildt by just one person.
such a great serie!
The girl at 10:00 is so gorgeous 😍😍
Ohio represent!
Awesome, great episode, cool company
Earthquaker I’m already a fan got three of them
Very cool 👍
I’d love to work there.
I own three of their pedals and will definitely buy more. Between EQD and EHX all my money is going quick lol
Wow this pretty amazing for a pedal company I’m going to have to try out their product

Great to see American quality builds..
So cool
Nice, you should visit us, making the mics
you guys should do Walrus audio next!
very very interesting! :) Love EQD!
Corey :) TOAPP+EQD lovin', man!
Hell yea!!!!
Thats gotta be the best job.
Sweet!!
Mitch ser alltid så skitnödig ut av någon anledning
need an official distributor in malaysia please hard to buy your stuff eqd
Can they package up the dog and send it to me?😁
What is the name of the piece of music starting at 9:50? Nice ambient with piano.
I appreciate that EQD is still made in America and not in China with slave labor. Worth paying extra for sure.
Santa's workshop.

At this point, Mitch is almost cooler than Earthquaker itself.

Its about the pedal not the workers get over it

Mitch's hair is like if Trump was a rock musician.
He’s about to bust out some mad Hilary Clinton hate lyrics
Hey Mitch, thanks for showing that these pedals aren't worth the 400+ dollars they charge in Canada. I guess 30 miles of water is worth $300CDN.
You forgot the hefty surcharge levy for every curly moustache and every Man-Bun....those badboys really add up! 😉
$400+?? Are you buying from Canadian retailers??

This is sooo boring, I just wanna see the bright coloured finished boxes! The pink/white rainbow machine; the aqua/white Organizer etc etc
