EarthQuaker Devices will host the third-annual EarthQuaker Day at their downtown Akron facility (350 W. Bowery St.) on Saturday August 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Immediately following the event at EarthQuaker HQ, the party moves to Lock 3 for the PRS Guitars EarthQuaker Day Riff Contest Finals.
New for 2018, attendees will have the opportunity to register online for Pedal Building Workshops to build an Arrows pre-amp booster, Acapulco Gold™power-amp distortion, or Speaker Cranker overdrive under the expert guidance of EQD’s production staff. Participants will learn the same methods and techniques used by EQD builders every day, and best of all, it’s new pedal day. Click here for more information and to register.
