Earthquaker Devices | CME Exclusive One-Off Pedal Editions foR 2023

Get Your One-of-a-Kind Earthquaker Devices Pedal—Only at CME!

If you missed last year’s round of CME Exclusive one-off pedals from EarthQuaker Devices, you’re in luck! You can make your EQD stompboxes stand out from the crowd of other pedals with the second annual run of CME Exclusive one-of-a-kind editions of some of our favorite EQD pedals!

Known for pushing the envelope with forward-thinking and unique products, EQD often experiments with multiple colorways and external hardware components for their pedals before they decide on the version that will eventually go to market. While EQD has been known to make exclusive runs for dealers (like CME) when a specific colorway is preferred by a certain store’s customer base, to be able to offer as many custom colorways as EQD does, they have to experiment—a lot!—which results in a stockpile of one-off pedals.

So, to continue an exclusive partnership with EQD begun in 2022, CME will once again offer our customers unique, one-off editions of some of the most popular EarthQuaker Devices pedals—each of which will make a truly one-of-a-kind addition to any pedalboard! Each pedal is only available at Chicago Music Exchange, and will be listed individually—but, remember, when it’s gone, it’s gone!

CME and EQD: A Peerless Partnership

Here at CME, we love everything about guitar pedals. From the build quality of the circuits, themselves, to the chassis, to the controller configurations—including knobs, buttons, and switches—not to mention the color schemes and graphic designs that add to the pedals’ overall aesthetic. All of these factors are what make any musician’s pedalboard both a visual, as well as sonic, work of art.

And that’s why CME loves pedals made by EarthQuaker Devices! The Akron, Ohio–based pedal manufacturer loves effects pedals so much that they make them one at a time, by hand, the hard way. Designed to be simple and user-friendly, EQD pedals supply loads of practical, useable, and musical sounds, making them a launchpad for sonic exploration and aural innovation.

But, it’s not just the phenomenal sounds that make these pedals stand out. Often, it’s the eye-catching graphic designs, color schemes, and different knob types that make EQD pedals a step above your typical stompbox. So, when our dear friends at EarthQuaker Devices approached us with a chance to get hundreds of one-of-a-kind pedals all at once, we jumped at it!

Check out our entire offering of CME Exclusive EQD one-off pedals for 2023, and find the one that’s the perfect fit for your pedalboard before somebody else buys it first!

It may not be the first thing you see when you walk into Chicago Music Exchange but, tucked in the back corner of our store—past the counter, the wall of Les Pauls, and the Gibson thinlines on the left—you’ll find a pair of French doors that open up to our Acoustic Room. Walk in and you’ll find yourself a humidity-/temperature-controlled room, which is essentially a walk-in humidor full of all the six-string (at times, 12-string) acoustic instruments we have, from the most sought-after brands our customers love and are always looking for—all of which can be perused at a glance with one swivel of the head.

When it comes to the wall space Chicago Music Exchange devotes to the premium guitars we have in-store, perhaps no premium guitar brand has gained as much real estate as Paul Reed Smith Guitars since CME got into the business of buying, selling, and trading guitars collectible and player-grade instruments over 30 years ago.

American manufacturers began making “artist editions” at least as far back as 1843, when C.F. Martin built the first ever X-braced Martin models for one of the most renowned soloists of the era, Madame Delores N. de Goñi. And although it’s not as often that we see de Goñi model come through Chicago Music Exchange's doors, we sometimes see a fair number of the earliest artist editions and signature models ever commercially produced—including the Gibson Nick Lucas and Roy Smeck models.
