I would steer towards some of their other stuff like the Space Spiral or like I said the Afterneath. I just don't consider them to be a top choice for bass dirt.
But it's more the lack of a volume control that makes it unusable for my purposes.Īll this might come across as being overall a bit negative towards EQD, but in fact they are one of my favorite pedal companies. Once again though, it doesn't have perfect low end retention. It's a wild sound on bass when you hear it in person. Lastly I've played my friend's Erupter a bit. Not a real memorable pedal imo, and again cuts some low end. I tried the Bellows a couple times and was not bowled over by it. Interstellar is exceptional Theres been way too much hate for Interstellar. That pedal basically makes everything else sound puny and spoils you completely. Keep in mind that my standard for low end retention on a non-clean blended dirt pedal is the EHX Green Russian reissue.

They're both very midrangey and neither is able to reproduce the full low end of a bass. The same is true for the regular Hoof too, which I've played in stores several times. I play a Stingray and I like the bass EQ up quite high, which the Cloven can't quite reproduce. If you play a passive bass it might not cut much low end at all in fact. I'm not sure because it's new and I haven't taken it to band practice yet. Similar to the AG it cuts a little low end but is probably still viable on bass. If you don't mind running it always on then it'll work well enough.Ĭurrently I have a Cloven Hoof on my board.
I miss mine quite a bit because I was partial to that sound, but it was just too limiting to keep on my board. It cuts a small amount of low end but it's still a good, full sound that supports the band. You have to keep the volume knob on your bass way down in order to get the gain low enough. I used to have an Acapulco Gold, which I would say is viable but inconvenient on bass. I use mine specifically for times when I want less low end (solos, atmospheric stuff with the Afterneath, etc.) It's a fantastic pedal and I love it especially on guitar, but it's not the best thing to serve as your primary bass dirt. I see some recommendations for the Plumes and would caution that it does strip away a good amount of low end. Despite their marketing, their stuff really is more suitable for guitar than bass. I haven't encountered an EQD dirt pedal that I would call ideal for bass.
It has a way of taking anything you put into it, even little imperfections and flubs, and turning them into interesting details that add to the world you're building with it. That pedal is EQD's masterpiece in my opinion. Afterneath is stunning on bass, especially with a midrangey fuzz like a Brassmaster before it. 265,00 EarthQuaker Devices Interstellar Orbiter Out of stock SKU: EQ0039 Categories: Effects, EarthQuaker Devices, Filter Description Earthquaker Devices - Interstellar Orbiter - Dual Resonant Filter Watch on The Interstellar Obiter was specially designed for Kid Koala to be used on his Satellite Concert tour.
