EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls Bass Preamp Pedal

A Powerhouse Bass Preamp Loaded with Eras of Classic Tones

Expertly engineered for maximum tonal versatility, the EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls allows you to simulate the sound of music's most legendary bass/amp pairings in a single do-it-all pedal. This bass preamp pedal, designed in collaboration with revered Japanese bassist Kentaro Nakao, is split into two distinct channels, starting with an all-encompassing EQ section. This channel combines a traditional 3-band EQ, a Variable-Frequency shaper, and a trio of tone-enhancing buttons (Deep, Process, and Bright), giving you the power to transform your stock signal into the low-end sound of your dreams. From a classic tube-amp-driven California bass to the pristine focus of an active modern bass playing through a solid-state head, Scrolls can conjure it. Stomp on the Drive switch to activate the dirty channel, which features both typical Drive, Level, Tone, and Blend controls, along with a Bandwidth knob to sculpt the voice of your saturated sounds. What’s more, Scrolls’ analog-filtered balanced XLR direct out, onboard effects loop, and buffered parallel output elevate this stompbox to the level of an all-in-one rig replacement. Roll out the EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls at your next gig or session and take a genre-defying journey through music's most sought-after low-end sounds.

Expansive EQ possibilities

The EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls leverages a positively massive range of tone-sculpting tools within its EQ section. First up, the straightforward 3-band EQ either boosts or cuts your signal’s Bass, Treble, and Midrange frequencies depending upon which side of the center detent you set the knob. For those who prefer a more in-depth approach, the Variable-Frequency boost/cut control lets you home in on a specific frequency range from 20Hz to 10kHz, making it a breeze to eliminate problem frequencies or emphasize a specific element of your signal. Finally, a trio of buttons delivers instant sonic gratification via an 80Hz boost (Deep), a modern-minded low-mid scoop (Process), and a clarity-enhancing 5kHz boost (Bright).

Dirty up your signal

From a subtle hint of saturation to stage-shaking grit and grind, the EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls cover all your distortion desires. Level, Drive, and Tone controls unlock a hard-hitting array of dirty tones to explore. A Blend knob injects your clean tone back into the mix — a must-have feature for gain-obsessed bassists, as a touch of clean tone ensures even the most brutal distorted tones retain optimal clarity and punch. Moreover, a Bandwidth control grants you the ability to clip either the top-end range of your signal for a sharp, present crunch or clip the lows for a rounder, deeper set of distorted sounds.

Your all-in-one stage solution

An electric bass and the EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls are all you need to take on your next gig, thanks to this pedal’s robust range of utility features. If you prefer to plug straight in instead of lugging around a stack or combo, the balanced XLR direct out has you covered, providing organic low-end performance courtesy of its all-analog bass speaker simulation. For those running a more complex rig, an always-on, parallel-buffered output simultaneously sends your dry signal to an external tuner, a second amplifier, or even a separate signal chain. Finally, an effects loop located between the Drive and EQ channels keeps your time-based and modulation pedals running with clear, crisp detail.
