## Overview

The EarthQuaker Devices Talons High Gain Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal is a versatile tool for guitarists, offering a wide range of gain options, an active 3-band EQ for tone shaping, and dual power supply options for customized sound.

## Description

The TALONS is an extremely versatile high gain overdrive that serves up the full range of gain from transparent boost to heavy saturation, and all points in between. Unlike other overdrives, the TALONS was not designed to emulate any specific sound or era. The presence control gives you a wide range of top-end Contour and the active 3 band EQ allows you to sculpt your tone to perfection. The TALONS can be powered at the standard 9V for a warmer amp-like tone or at 18V for greater headroom, more volume and a brighter, stiffer grind. All analog, true bypass and handmade one at a time in dusty Akron, Ohio.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    But a DAMN fine distortion/overdrive.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015*

Not as high gain as I would have hoped.  Does everything else extremely well.  Leave it full on and roll off guitar volume to clean up.  Use it as clean boost.  I have used it as an equalizer on weaker sounding amps.  High gain?  No.  But a DAMN fine distortion/overdrive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great supplement
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018*

Great little sound changer.  Perfect for first effect pedal.  Make sure to use absolutely correct power supply.  It is very sensitive.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Two Stars

Really noisey pedal - not impressed with overall tones.
