Hello champ! Thank you for purchasing the Tentacle
™
from EarthQuaker
Devices brand effect pedals. The Tentacle is a classic analog octave up effect.
It is the very same octave from our beloved Hoof Reaper pedal. We got so
many requests to make this a stand-alone unit that we just had to make it a
reality. You can now add an excellent, swelling octave up to anything your
heart desires! Pair it with your favorite fuzz, strap on a headband and unleash
your inner Jammy Hendrix. Put it in front of another octave up and blow your
amps mind. Throw it in the effects loop of a delay and marvel at what happens
(then tell us, we’d like to know too). What’s better? It has no controls! Nothing
to worry about at all here, just hit the switch and go for it. The Tentacle is an
analog octave up, the effect will become much more pronounced when using
your neck pickup and playing above the 12th fret.
Controls
You don’t control me.
Suggested Placement
To get the most pronounced ocatve, place the Tentacle as close to the front
of your signal chain as possible.
Power
This device take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative
center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated
wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make
extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies,
daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as
well and let through unwanted noise.
DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
Current Draw:
10 mA
Input Impedance:
100 kΩ
Output Impedance:
<1 kΩ
Flexi-Switch
®
Technology
This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass
switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style
switching.
• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the
effect and then tap again to bypass.
• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like
to use the effect. Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.
Warranty
This device has a limited lifetime warranty. If it breaks, we will fix it. Should you
encounter any issues, please visit
