The Speaker Cranker: Analog Overdrive That Talks Back

Boutique-style single knob overdrive pedal

The Speaker Cranker from EarthQuaker Devices is a no-nonsense analog overdrive designed to inject just the right amount of harmonic grit and tube-like compression into your signal. Don’t call it a boost,  this is a purebred, single-knob dirt machine that’s crafted for players who want to fatten up their tone without losing the personality of their guitar and amp.

Natural tube-style breakup with rich harmonics

The Speaker Cranker enhances your raw tone with blooming single notes, crunchy power chords, and a saggy, elastic feel that responds beautifully to touch. Whether you're pushing your clean amp into edge-of-breakup territory or stacking it with other gain stages, the Speaker Cranker always feels like it's working with your rig, not on top of it.

One knob simplicity, all analog tone

The "More" knob is the heart of the circuit — dial it low for subtle warmth or crank it for gritty, compressed saturation that mimics the gain stages of a vintage tube amp. No EQ shaping, no unnecessary tone suck, just your guitar signal, thickened up and ready to roll.

Built like a tank in Akron, Ohio

Handcrafted in the USA, this pedal is true bypass and features relay-based electronic switching for reliable performance. This 2019 unit shows light wear and has a serial number etched into the back, a player’s pedal through and through, ready for more stage or studio time.

Pedalboard essential for tone lovers

If you’ve been looking for a way to add extra character to your tone without sacrificing clarity, the Speaker Cranker delivers. Stack it, solo with it, or leave it always-on, however you use it, it plays well with others and never steps on your sound.
