EQD Utility Pedals: Route, Expand & Enhance your Tone
5,0 / 5,0 | 
The EarthQuaker Devices Utility Pedals are a new range of handy little boxes designed to simplify more complex pedalboard setups. They make setting up your signal path much more straightforward and offer great routing options.
EarthQuaker Devices Utility Pedals
The new EarthQuaker Devices Utility Pedals range includes the Flexi Loops Dual Effects Loop Switcher, the Passive ABY Box, the A/B Box, a Buffer/Splitter, and a Buffer/Preamp. They all have a monochrome black and white patterned finish, making them stand out nicely on your pedalboard.
These new tools are perfect for stompbox addicts with more complex effects setups and guitar rig needs. Below is a brief overview of each one and how it works.
EQD Utility Pedals
Flexi Loops Dual Effects Loop Switcher
The Flexi Loops Dual Effects Loop Switcher makes creating and managing two effect loops easy with Flexi-Switch technology. Effects can be easily removed from the signal path to maintain sound quality, and the device can also act as a tuner out or simple mute.
Passive ABY Box
The Passive ABY Box guides an input to two outputs and allows you to choose between them. It is ideal for routing between amplifiers or instruments and is convenient with its neat, compact design.
A/B Box
The A/B Box offers an easy way to switch between two different channels or instruments – without circuit-related sound loss.
Buffer/Splitter and Buffer/Preamp
The Buffer/Splitter protects against sound loss on long cable paths and restores the tonal integrity of your signal with its high input and low output impedance. It can also split the signal into two parts to operate different speakers or effects.
The Buffer/Preamp does the same with only one output. Both units also give your sound a subtle push in the low end.
Verdict
EQD has released valuable tools for any musician who needs to route signals and avoid any signal loss. The pricing is very competitive, and I am sure the quality will be high, as with all the EQD pedal ranges.
