Earthquaker Devices Hummingbird V4

The Hummingbird is a vintage-inspired, choppy tremolo pedal modeled after the classic "repeat percussion" circuits found in old Valco and Vox amps. With its sharp sawtooth modulation and three switchable speed ranges, it delivers everything from nostalgic '50s shimmer to rapid-fire bursts of stuttering chop that verge on ring modulation. Whether you’re after subtle rhythmic movement or full-blown, synth-like pulse effects, the Hummingbird covers the spectrum with style.

Choose between Modes 1 (slow), 2 (medium), and 3 (fast) to set the tempo range, and tweak the Rate and Depth to dial in your perfect pattern. For hands-free dynamic control, plug in an expression pedal and explore reactive rate sweeps or even chaotic random amplitude modulation. The Level control adds flexible gain, letting you boost or cut your signal, and with the Depth turned all the way down, the Hummingbird transforms into a clean JFET boost—making it a versatile addition to any setup.
