EarthQuaker Devices Barrows Fuzz Pedal - White

$139.00

The Barrows is a portal to the fabled, saturated tones of the late '60s, driven by a meticulously matched trio of germanium transistors. While vintage MKII units were often temperamental and difficult to fit on modern boards, the Barrows delivers that iconic, violin-like sustain and harmonic-rich "wall of sound" in a compact, pedalboard-friendly chassis. Unlike the finicky originals, it features a phase-corrected and buffered output, ensuring it maintains its character regardless of where it sits in your signal chain. From a light, singing grit to total sonic annihilation, the Barrows is designed for the fuzz purist who refuses to compromise on utility.

Key Features

  • Triple Germanium Architecture: Uses three precision-matched germanium transistors for authentic, vintage-correct texture and sag.

  • Modern Output Buffer: Unlike traditional MKII circuits that can struggle with other pedals, the Barrows is phase-corrected and buffered for seamless integration.

  • Massive Volume Headroom: The Level control provides a significant boost, allowing you to drive your tube amp into a blissful harmonic meltdown.

  • Dynamic Attack Control: Moves from touch-sensitive, amp-like breakup to a crushing, sustain-drenched fuzz monster.

  • Compact Footprint: Delivers legendary "Big Box" fuzz tones while saving precious real estate on your board.

  • Switching: Mechanical True Bypass

  • Current Draw: 10 mA

  • Input Impedance: 10 kΩ

  • Output Impedance: 100 Ω
