Earthquaker Devices Hummingbird V4 Repeat Percussion Tremolo Effect Pedal
Welcome to your new Hummingbird Repeat Percussion tremolo! The Hummingbird is a choppy, saw tooth tremolo modeled on the vintage “repeat percussion” unit and similar to those found in old Valco and Vox amplifiers. It is capable of producing everything from classic “50’s style” shimmering tremolo to a synthy, delay-like chop that turns your signal into a burst of short pings and on through to near ring modulation speeds. Simply choosing between modes 1 (slow), 2 (mid-tempo) or 3 (fast) and adjusting the rate and depth controls will unlock a whole new world of amplitude modulation at your feet. The Rate is also expression pedal accessible to allow instant changes on the fly. Using an expression pedal opens up the possibility of true random amplitude modulation! In addition to the modulation, the Hummingbird has plenty of clean gain on-tap allowing you to either boost or cut the signal using the level control. If the Depth is turned to zero, the Hummingbird will become a JFET clean boost! The Hummingbird is all analog, true bypass and handmade one at a time on a gilded cloud in Akron, Ohio.

Good vibe effect with a few extras. This pedal is a very good Univibe pedal, with added features that sets it apart. It has a level control that allows the user to eliminate the dreaded volume drop that plagues other models. It also has a “voice” control that counteracts any perceived “tone suck” that can occur with this effect. The vibe effect can go from subtle to ridiculous, and can get very “chewy”.One drawback is the lack of the ability to connect to an expression pedal…
