Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold Power Amp Distortion V2
The Acapulco Gold is a dirt-simple distortion Device modelled after the sound of a cranked vintage Model T amplifier, bringing the openness, clarity, and crunch that only a dimed tube amp can provide, at a fraction of the size, and without expensive maintenance costs!
EarthQuaker chose to keep the controls of the Acapulco Gold as simple as possible, since tone is in the hands. The footswitch turns the pedal on and off, and the large knob regulates the output volume. That's it. Everything else is at your fingertips. If you want less gain, turn down the guitar's volume knob. If you require a darker rhythm tone, roll back the guitar's tone control. It's that simple.
With your guitar’s volume all the way up, the Acapulco Gold roars like a wide-open Model T on the verge of explosion. At just-barely-backed-off, the Gold becomes a raunchy overdrive. At minimum guitar volume settings, the Acapulco Gold delivers a hazy, Nashville-sounding spank to your tone.
How about this? If your guitar has separate volume and tone controls for each pickup and a three-way selector switch, this little one-knob banger becomes a three-channel tone monster at the flick of your wrist!
Each Acapulco Gold is made part-by-part, wire-by-wire, giant knob-by-giant knob with real, live humanimal hands in EarthQuaker's gilded manufactory located in grey olde Akron, Ohio USA.
