Earthquaker Devices Palisades V2 Mega Ultimate Overdrive Pedal
IN STOCK
Order before 3pm Mon-Thu for Next Day Delivery
Back in 2014 the EarthQuaker Devices design team went back on a promise: those dastardly chaps went and developed a new overdrive pedal based on the legendary TS808! The fiends! However, nothing is straightforward over at EQD HQ, and so the Palisades was born - a behemoth of an overdrive that gives you everything from a comforting, classic crunch, up to a face-melting fuzz sound (essentially, every Tubescreamer sound ever, and then some!).
Now in 2017, they've gone and upgraded this excellent overdrive pedal: introducing the all-new Palisades V2, quite possibly the only overdrive pedal you'll ever need!
So, What's New?
The Palisades V2 is home to a few neat little upgrades in comparison to its previous incarnation, including enhanced long-term durability and a new soft-click relay switching system.
In addition to an all-new soft-click relay switching system, the Palisades V2 also has a brand-new Flexi-Switch. This means that in addition to the familiar "On/Off" switching you would normally get with an effects pedal, you now have the option of using the Momentary operation, effectively adding just a qruick and effective burst of altered sound into your playing without the need to look like you're Riverdancing.
The Only Overdrive Pedal You'll Ever Need
Featuring an impressive 6 separate clipping voices, 5 bandwidth settings, and 2 different gain channels, the sheer array of different sounds available to you is almost dizzying. Let's have a look at what these controls can do for you:
Rotary Switches
- Bandwidth: This sets the overall tone and gain structure of the Palisades. 1 is the thinnest setting with the least amount of gain and 5 is the fattest setting with the heaviest gain. Everything else is in between. This control has a major effect on all the settings of the Palisades, especially the gain and voice controls.
- Voice: This sets the nature of the Palisades distortion by changing the clipping diodes. 1- No diodes: The most open and least distorted. 2- LED clipping: light clipping with a lot of volume. 3- Mosfet clipping: light gain OD with great harmonics. 4- Asymmetrical Silicon clipping: Tighter light gain OD closest to stock 808. 5- Symmetrical silicon clipping: tighter distorted tone. 6- Schottky Diode clipping: Looser fuzzy tone.
Controls
- Boost: Sets the level of the output boost.
- Volume: Sets the output level.
- Tone: Brighter clockwise, warmer counter clockwise.
- Gain A: Sets the gain for the Channel A (lower gain)
- Gain B: Sets the gain for Channel B (higher gain)
Foot Switches
- Activate: True bypass switch
- Gain B: Activates Gain Channel B
- Boost: Activates the output level boost
Toggle Switches
- Normal/Bright: Normal is a warm full tone, Bright is livelier tone with more chime.
- Buffer: Turns the input buffer on or off. ON is a tighter and brighter tone while OFF is a warmer tone with more sag. The buffer is part of the drive circuit & is only available when the Palisades is activated.
This pedal is as versatile an Overdrive as you can get - that's to the two gain channels, I've personally heard it used to great effect for styles varying between good ol' Texan blues, through to the heaviest of metals, and still got the impression that there was more to come.

Power
All EarthQuaker pedals 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 is 30 mA.
