EarthQuaker Devices and Yamaha Music Australia have announced that effective 1st January 2019, Yamaha Music Australia will be the exclusive distributor of EarthQuaker Devices effects pedals in the territory.
EarthQuaker Devices was started in 2004 in Akron, Ohio, USA, by musician and entrepreneur Jamie Stillman. Since then, EarthQuaker Devices pedals have been used by artists such as Queens of the Stone Age, Boris, the Mars Volta, Mono, CHON, Asai Kenichi, and the Black Keys. Each effects pedal is built by hand at EarthQuaker Devices’ workshop in Akron, Ohio, USA, by a team of passionate artists and musicians.
“EarthQuaker Devices is honoured to work beside Yamaha Music Australia, and to play a part in Yamaha’s 130-year history,” said Earthquaker, in a statement. “We are excited to deliver innovative and creative effects pedals which live up to Yamaha’s philosophy of “Kandō,” and it is our hope to supply musicians with effects pedals of supreme audio quality, build quality, physical appearance, and performance.”
