Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold Power Amp Distortion V2

Acapulco Gold is a super-simple distortion device inspired by the sound of a vintage Model T amp, providing the openness, clarity, and crunch that only a dimed tube amplifier can offer, at a fraction of the size, and without any costly maintenance!

Because tone is in the hands, EarthQuaker decided to keep the controls on the Acapulco Gold as simple as possible. A footswitch turns the pedal on and off, and a giant knob controls the output volume. that's it. The rest is at your fingertips. Want less gain? Lower the volume on your guitar. Need darker rhythm tones? Lower the tone control on your guitar. Simple right?

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 gray olde Akron, Ohio USA.
