A superb example of the EarthQuaker Devices Palisades Mega Ultimate Overdrive, one of the most comprehensive and versatile overdrive pedals ever created. Hand-built in Akron, Ohio, USA, the Palisades takes the legendary Tube Screamer concept and expands it into a professional-grade overdrive workstation, offering an incredible range of tones that can replace multiple drive pedals on your board.

Featuring two independent gain channels, six clipping voices, five bandwidth settings, a dedicated footswitchable boost, selectable input buffer and bright mode, the Palisades delivers everything from transparent edge-of-breakup tones to thick, saturated lead sounds. Whether you're playing blues, classic rock, indie, modern rock or metal, it offers exceptional flexibility while maintaining the dynamic response EarthQuaker Devices pedals are renowned for.
