Very nice transparent overdrive. Doesn’t color your sound too much. Sounds like it’d be great for John Mayer style leads. This may be the pedal I’ve been looking for, thanks Ola!
Let's be real, we all knew the answer to this particular question before we clicked the video, but we all came here anyway to watch Ola's eyebrows reach heights not previously thought possible.
Compared to all the other videos, his expressions are pretty similar, but what made this video wonderful was those expressions, on top of the strange sounds emerging, made it seem like he was descending into a hallucination experience. Hilarious! Favorite moment: 5:04
it’s like a dance gavin dance intro riff effect and then you don’t hear it for the rest of the song but it made you think “thats pretty cool” or gets the crowd cheering in the first 20 seconds because a d v a n c e d g u I t a r
Bro put this thing in a modular synth system and you've got your bitcrusher glitchy thing to spice up your sequences. Modify it in order to receive CV, combine it eith a vocoder and a delay module and you've got a nice eurorack system
Sounds like there's a lot of potential for SUPER grimy sludge/stoner type metal in there, that fuzz portion is monstrous, and mixing in the subharmonics it seems like it'll really live up to that Earthquaker name. Imagine it going into a full stack or split off into a bass cabinet, holy shit.
Yeah Jack already has his own pedal that he sells to the public through his Third Man Records website that sounds like the Data Corrupter. Jack's pedal is called the Mantic Flex Pedal through his brand Third Man Hardware.
@@amadeusvprozac That pedal he uses is the mantic flex that watcher zero mentioned. Justin Pearson of the locust also uses the legendary schumann PLL on his bass. PLLs FTW!
Fun fact: JD Pinkus (ex Melvins, ex Butthole Surfers) uses an Earthquaker Bit Commander pedal for his solo banjo work that was given to him by Jack White
As I read this comment at 6:55, you can hear Ola playing something that sounds exactly like "And Hell Followed With". I think it's called Mara, they do a lot of the same style of affect it sounds like your band does! Definitely a great idea, especially for live applications. Thanks for spreading the knowledge!
@@AAllinsonNN It’s capable of so much more than Ola demonstrated. One mistake I see a lot of people make is that you are only supposed to use one note at a time and never more, no chords not even power chords or at least in my opinion, you might be able to do something with chords but I found a single note at a time to work best.
Id say your the professor of chug! I have learned so much about tone from you. Part of my tone at home, is solely because of you Ola. I even have your metal pack and ir cabs on bias fx 2. I also use an RP255...which shreds....and chugs. Cheers
Though it will never chug like a Boss HM-2, this pedal chugs in an early Melvins kind of way. To me there are endless possibilities, but get why most guitarists don't like it.
Ola, I think this may have been the most hilarious Will It Chug ever! Sounds like the theme songs to Super Mario Bros., Zelda Halloween all wrapped up in a big 💨 lol. Lmao
"you can mix all these voices to create an incredible salad". 😅 PRICELESS!! Man I love some of the things that he comes up with.. and the faces.. oh man..
I think if you engage that thing on a fx loop that haves a fx mix knob and you blend it with a good chug sound could hit really hard and be unique sounding
Nick Reinhart, guitarist/singer for Tera Melos, uses the hell out of EQD pedals like this. He and Juan Alderete run a TH-cam channel called Pedals and Effects (but haven't been active in a long time since Alderete got hit by a car last year).
I got one recently, bc i wanted a PLL…I knew that this was gonna be one that’d be hard to integrate into songs, but it’s a blast. I gotta put my screen violence pedal down and get back to this one.
That is some crazy sounding s*** there! At one point when you were fiddling around with the knobs it was making sounds like the old arcade game from the '80s robotron lol
Pretty nice pedal! It's the type of sounds guitar players sometimes use when added in to drum and bass or other synth music styles. I bet you can make something amazing out of it
I would say that maybe the Fuzz sound you can get from it could serve as a layer to a heavy rythm guitar. Just a layer on the background to add body and fatness not as a doubling track.
Indeed it sounds like a simplistic standard square wave ran thru a hella ancient Zoom 9002 & shit bass cab with a broken horn while the pitch shifter is stuck on.
This kinda reminds of a pedal staymetalray uses call the bitcrusher I think. He kinda explained how he used it for just nasty noises in break downs and stuff like that
Ever wanted to sound like a broken record? Well I might have the thing for you... WILL IT CHUG?
Keep that pedal when Nintendo calls 4 soundtracks 😎
No
Angry bees more like
The expressions on your face were priceless! Lol
Ola, that thing should have been called the 'Incredible Salad'.

This is exactly correct.

I’d use this pedal for a riff. Like, just one riff. And everyone would go
“woah nice”
Same
Woah. Nice
Yeah, it is kinda like a one trick pony you can use to spice up 1 song. Well, maybe a couple, as I think it does have multiple usable settings.
it’s like a dance gavin dance intro riff effect and then you don’t hear it for the rest of the song but it made you think

The member who suggested this is a sludge-wizz...
Æ Ola is h3r3
Matt Pike used one, for end of show shenanigans
The very first sound I heard when he upped the volume reminded me of Clouds Taste Satanic's tone.
reminded me of Earth 2
Jack White would love this pedal.
I love how it sounds like an old Nintendo system catching fire and self destructing.
Yeah Jack already has his own pedal that he sells to the public through his Third Man Records website that sounds like the Data Corrupter. Jack's pedal is called the Mantic Flex Pedal through his brand Third Man Hardware.
I agree sounds like a 80s Nintendo game👍
Jack White actually have this pedal. Check the guitar solo of his song "Why walk a dog?"

Gotta love a pedal company that releases a pedal that sounds like it’s broken. In the right hands, not mine, it could do some amazing things.
"I don't know what's happening, but I LIKE it," basically summed it all up for me right there
Lol saw this comment just as he said it in the video!!
We used it for intro's and outros; stage noise. Twist the knobs, kill it, burst into brutality.
Same, used it on a looper between songs too, no dead noise when tuning, etc…

Ola's face when he turns up that third knob: WTF is this pedal?
To quote R. Lee Ermey, What the fuck is that?
@@Captain_Zero_ A jelly donut.
@@MrJam1001 jelly filled doughnuts are my favourite
Ola also hates it
"Im not a smart man...but i know what chug is" 😆 the look on your face dude!! This is the best episode in a while!
I Just love EQD pedals. The data corrupter is Just genius
Akron OH’s best!
I just love the confused facial expressions. Absolutely hilarious! So glad I found your channel, Ola!!
I've had this pedal since it released...it's fun as hell.
Pretty tasty clean on that amp.
this sounds like the perfect thing if you want to put together a Nintendo-core/chiptune band.
The facial expressions are priceless OLa, genuine bewilderment at some of those sounds. Very entertaining and educational. Subscribed
Ola, do you consider urination a form of self-expression?
Video was released like 2 minutes ago and there's already a GOLD comment
Lmao what the fuck
what if you sample your urination and put it through metalzone
Urinate, then drink it and then let us know.
@@vkabanbest3343 what an I not getting here
Id say your the professor of chug! I have learned so much about tone from you. Part of my tone at home, is solely because of you Ola. I even have your metal pack and ir cabs on bias fx 2. I also use an RP255...which shreds....and chugs. Cheers
I can already foresee a song in his next solo album made exclusively with this pedal.
Also, this sounds like a tilted NES cartridge.
Listening to that with headphones was a trip
Ola just playing around with shit and having that “whoah…” face is the best.
The pedal looks cool i realy like the Design
yea just design cool i agree
sounds like some retro game metal or something
I’ve never laughed so much during Ola’s videos. And I laugh a lot during his videos
Everyone else: wtf is going on ? Is it broken ? It doesn't chug 😭
EQD fans: 😏😏😏
Sounds like something the Melvins would use. King Buzzo ftw.
You are spot on. !!! Wow. The git guy in the Melvins,called in guitar on crack! Or anyone can pay guitar !
Buzzo actually demoed it in one of the Earthquaker first impressions videos
6:35 slayer solos
This is probably my favorite will it chug video
That oscillator thing is so beautiful
Ola was clearly having fun I already see him writing stoner doom metal inspired songs with this pedal
hhahahaha. Ola's face at 2:28 is questioning his entire life choices up to this point. Thanks for the fun video
Though it will never chug like a Boss HM-2, this pedal chugs in an early Melvins kind of way. To me there are endless possibilities, but get why most guitarists don't like it.
Is this our first absolute “no” for will it chug?
There’s been some lack luster ones but this…
This was a new kind of fun.
That pedal is insane 🤘!
Ola, I think this may have been the most hilarious Will It Chug ever! Sounds like the theme songs to Super Mario Bros., Zelda Halloween all wrapped up in a big 💨 lol. Lmao
i legit know a few things you can do with that pedal and either make it extremely obvious, or make it so subtle that nobody would know it was there.
I can't 😆 Can't live without Ola man.
"you can mix all these voices to create an incredible salad". 😅 PRICELESS!! Man I love some of the things that he comes up with.. and the faces.. oh man..
The sound effect at 7:00 sounds like the effect dimebag used in strength beyond strength
So true
I could feel Ola being transported to a different universe
This is one of the coolest pedals ever. I highly recommend getting your hands on one.
Pretty versatile pedal.... Its like a doomy Super Nintendo on a weird acid trip ...... I love it....\m/
Was the pedal made from a chip tuned atari 2600?
Love earthquaker, great pedals. This kinda does the talkbox sound with out having to have a hose in your mouth.
Peace and stay safe
I'm an electronic producer and I want one for my Moog Sub Phatty and Korg MS-20.
I'm glad this is not on the Pedal frenzy section, masterpiece video
His face in this video perfectly sums up every product from Earthquaker that I've played or seen demoed.
Awesome video Professor Chug! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The incredible salad at the end or something similar sounds great for a slow melodic solo.
It's nice to record sounds for retro games with this
I think if you engage that thing on a fx loop that haves a fx mix knob and you blend it with a good chug sound could hit really hard and be unique sounding
I think Lou Reed made a entire album that
Had this sort of effect.
One song called the amine beta ring?
They should of called this pedal "The Tonal Fart Corruptor"

Tha BEST nonchugging pedal I've ever heard! WMD Geiger Counter should be the next, thanks a lot of fun, mr. Ola!
The preamp is pretty awesome, i can see it chugging
Wow i love this pedal because this pedal can use some kind of experimental thing to use to create some weird sounds
I got one recently, bc i wanted a PLL…I knew that this was gonna be one that’d be hard to integrate into songs, but it’s a blast. I gotta put my screen violence pedal down and get back to this one.
My roommate got me this pedal and it is so much fun, tons of sounds in this thing.
Wow.i really like it alot.very cool stuff.and a gnarly ass fuzz can be had w this.sound salad....lol.definarely Ola...right on man.
2:36 😂 that face. It looks like you're realizing, contemplating what that thing really is and what you've gotten involved with.
this pedal sounds like Mattias Ia Eklundh...i love it!
I’m satisfied
I thought I was getting some 8bit tunes here dude
And that’s exactly what I got, this thing is Nintendo goodness!
5:04
Ola: That's cool
CORRUPTER: ALIEN FART
I adore the data corruptor. its definitely something you need to write with due to the restrictions of both the guitar and the pedal
That is some crazy sounding s*** there! At one point when you were fiddling around with the knobs it was making sounds like the old arcade game from the '80s robotron lol
Ola: "That's cool" Guitar: "Braawhgh"
Dude youre hilarious. i enjoy your chug channel. its great
The sound at 7:14 reminds me of the car speeding up in Road Fighter 😂
That...was amazing.
Please 1 hour demo.
And...does it iron ? Obviously not XD (Nice video, and I love EQD)
Pretty nice pedal! It's the type of sounds guitar players sometimes use when added in to drum and bass or other synth music styles. I bet you can make something amazing out of it
Lovely seeing a metal mind blown. Welcome to six string synthesis :D

I wanna try this pedal on vocals... Also, you can make music for retro NES games
Your face at 2:28 is a perfect sum-up of this discovery.
It uses a pll to catch the notes, so shredding may sound a little wonky 😮
I love weird pedals... it's like my pitchfork/monosynth/superfuzz/Delay experiments...
I'm terrible at guitar and dont have much experience with pedals, but my god I want this.
"Let's start with the square" *instant doom tones* So when can we look for your name in the credits of a Castlevania game, Ola?
R2-D2 would love that pedal!
For a while it almost sounded like a SID from C64...
Is that little lick he played at 1:00 from something? Sounds really good
This pedal is nuts. I’m glad I bought one.
Sounds like a broken fuzz . Check the mesa head if it caught corona 😂
Bengong haha
Haha so awesome I bet you quite enjoyed this beast.
This reminds me of an arcade I used to be hanging out back in late 80's and early 90's.
Sounds Godzilly!
This kinda reminds of a pedal staymetalray uses call the bitcrusher I think. He kinda explained how he used it for just nasty noises in break downs and stuff like that
Sounds like someone came onstage and lit your stuff on fire. 10/10 fuzz, would fuzz again.
I could see this being useful for doing movie score work.
this pedal coluld make some really cool solos i can see it now
AYOOOOOO!!! 4:48 AMAZING
What did they put in that thing?!? A SID chip?
Just adding this to the others. Yes Ola, you are The Professor of Chug
