About The Pedal Creators

Everyone can build excellent boutique guitar pedals. Everything we do is to make that experience more accessible and user-friendlier. The Pedal Creators series are the best and easiest to build PCBs ever. Including most resistors and capacitors already soldered on board as SMD components, leaving the key values for you to experiment and craft your own tone. Now you can build a pedal you are proud of in less than an hour without any previous experience. What are you waiting for to become a Pedal Creator?

The Pedal creators – key features:

• Easy to build, no previous experience required. It’s like Lego for musicians.

• Fast assembly finish a pedal in less than an hour. Play your favorite record and enjoy the ride along.

• 100% mistake-proof. Even my grandma can build one while she cooks.

• Build your own boutique pedal. Experiment with different values and make the pedal you always dreamed of.

• Easy to scale. Turn your passion into a money-making machine.

Project overview

Inspired by EQD Sea Machine, the Sea Device is a chorus pedal that gives you an unprecedented measure of control over its parameters.

Introduction

The people from Akron, Ohio, have cooked up this circuit to achieve the ultimate versatile chorus. From subtle, shimmery chorus sounds to wobbly, seasick, warbly pitch-bent detuning that rocks the boat.

This digital-analog hybrid circuit gives you standout chorusing effects topped off with dramatic shimmer, based around a PT2399 short digital delay line, with controls for Animation, Dimension, and Depth. From there, knobs for Shape, Rate, and Intensity let you craft and fine-tune your chorus effect to perfection.

Its Sea Device palette of controls, both standard and proprietary that makes it unique – and eminently useful for everything from understated warble and classic Leslie effects to roller-coaster pitch bends, condensed arpeggiations, outrageous alien soundscapes, and more!

EarthQuaker Devices designed the original circuit of the Sea Machine to play nicely with the other pedals in your signal chain without distorting, attenuating volume or inducing mud. At Sweetwater, we tend to prefer it placed after distortion pedals and before signal boosters.

When engaged, the Sea device’s transparent buffer leaves your dry, all-analog signal crystal clear and untouched!

Controls

The Sea Device controls might look a bit complicated at the first contact but is much more intuitive than what it looks.
