The EarthQuaker Acapulco Gold V2 is a straightforward distortion device inspired by the power section of a fully cranked vintage Sunn Model T amplifier. It delivers the same openness, clarity, and crunch as a maxed-out tube amp but in a much smaller size and without the hefty maintenance costs.

We've kept the Acapulco Gold's controls minimal for ease of use. The pedal is activated by the footswitch, while a large knob adjusts the output volume. For less gain, simply lower the volume on your guitar. For a darker rhythm tone, dial back the tone control on your guitar. It's that simple.

When the guitar’s volume is maxed, the Acapulco Gold bellows like an overdriven Model T on the brink of detonation. Dial it back a bit, and it morphs into a gritty overdrive. On the lowest guitar volume settings, it imparts a soft, Nashville-style twang to your sound.

And if your guitar features individual volume and tone controls for each pickup plus a three-way selector switch, this unassuming one-knob wonder transforms into a versatile three-channel tone machine with just a quick flick of your wrist.
