Akron , Ohio ’ s EQD cottoned on to the brilliance of the Repeat Percussion circuit long ago . The company ’ s Hummingbird tremolo , now in its third iteration , is a venerable and beautifully made recreation that significantly improves on the overall quality and usability of the original effect , while retaining its distinctive tone and feel . With three Rate modes and an expression pedal input for on-the-fly Rate control , the Hummingbird expands enormously on the old RP circuit ’ s very limited speed range , and a Depth control lets you dial up anything from extreme chop to a subtly hypnotic throb . And since most tremolo effects create a perceived drop in volume , EarthQuaker has blessed the Hummingbird with a Level control that can significantly punch up the pedal ’ s output . It has more than enough grunt to hammer the front end of a tube amp for some sweet , juicy saturation . The Hummingbird will delight lovers of choppy , droning psychedelic undulations .
