EarthQuaker Devices has once again approached us with a chance to get hundreds of one-of-a-kind pedals. Once again, we jumped at it! The results from their year of colorway experimentation are stunning, and we’re very excited to offer them to you. Each pedal is unique and only available at Chicago Music Exchange. When it's gone, it's gone.

The Special Cranker is an all-discrete analog distortion enhancement device designed to give your signal some extra grit and boost without drastically altering your tone and retaining all of the natural nuances and character of your amp. Think of it as sticking an extra preamp tube in your amplifier for more saturation. Single notes will blossom and bloom with rich harmonics and singing sustain with responsive, tube-like sag. Power chords will sound thicker and crunchier, a little more ragged around the edges. Complex chords will remain distinct and complex, as the Special Cranker is designed to preserve your tone’s integrity without muddying up the low-end or smearing the midrange.

The Special Cranker picks up where the beloved Speaker Cranker left off. It has the same spongy, dynamic, and touch-sensitive character of the original but with more gain, double the output volume (now with a user-friendly Level control), an added Tone control to shape your signal, and a diode selector switch featuring the original asymmetrical Silicon diodes as well as a hot, new Germanium diode option.

The More control goes from nearly clean to a medium gain overdrive when at maximum. This control adjusts the bias of the transistor, so you may hear a little noise as you turn the control. Don’t freak out; it’s totally fine. The gain characteristics are dependent on which diodes are chosen. When the Germanium diodes are selected, the Special Cranker delivers a softer, more rounded response with tamed highs and lower output, while the Silicon diodes add a brighter, more modern edge and higher output. Both are exceptionally responsive to playing dynamics and have excellent clarity. The Tone control gives the user full command over treble frequencies, cutting the highs when counterclockwise and adding a slight high frequency boost when turned clockwise. The Level control adjusts the output from nothing to nearly double at maximum.

Each and every Special Cranker is all-analog, true bypass, and built one-at-a-time by some serious experts in Akron, Ohio, USA – home of the best burgers on THIS Earth.

Falls over
Size: 8-Panel
The legs are so short/small and not heavy it just keeps falling over and it shows a pic of water on it and making you believe it’s for outside. No way, it can’t stand any wind at all. Also the directions were not that easy for most.

Great quality, very versatile
Size: 6 Panel-132‘’Wide, Color: Beige, Size: 6 Panel-132‘’Wide, Color: Beige
I'm very pleased with this item. It was not complicated to assemble but some items required dexterity and strength. The fabric panels are nice and tight and that's partly why it's a little hard to get that final screw in. I'm very pleased with the legs and the wheels. The metal components are nicely finished and feel substantial and endurable. I can easily fold this so many different ways… I can minimize the number of panels that are seen if desired and it can be straight or accordion. It's very stable which was hugely important to me because I'm fostering many many cats. It's not cheap looking and the light color fabric allows enough light to pass through that it doesn't darken the room substantially. I think the price was very reasonable

Very easy to assemble. Good quality. The material is thick enough to block the light and gives much needed privacy.
