They did the same for me about 12-13 years ago. I bought an old Hoof(no serial number anywhere on it) and a Ghost Echo(no ser. num. either) at a local shop. I had seen them sitting for a long time on their counter being used essentially as paper weights. I finally asked if he wanted to sell them and got the reply "They don't work too good but if you want to fix 'em you can have them for $50." I bought them and took them home. The Hoof was dead, no signal. The Ghost Echo worked but faded in & out as you turned the Attack knob. I emailed EQD about the getting the Hoof fixed but mentioned that I had the GE but thought I could fix it myself. I got a response that they'd be happy to fix them both. I had never sent anything back to a builder & just overnighted both pedals to their mailing address on the website. I didn't know anything about RA numbers for pedals, I just figured if I sent it to them they would get it to the right person. Two weeks later I got a box from EQD with both pedals, playing good as new. Not only did they ship to me on their dime but they cleaned up the pedals inside and out as well as putting them in brand new EQD pedal boxes(they didn't have boxes/papers when I bought them). My total out of pocket was the initial shipping which was about $14 or so IIRC plus $50. I ended up with two excellent pedal that I used for years afterward. I been a raving fan since then.Cool company. They fixed a pedal for me for free that a) I bought used and b) I broke by plugging in the wrong power supply. They even shipped it back to me on their dime. When I offered to pay for it they said "no worries, enjoy".![]()
Necros might as well as been from Detroit.Slint, Squirrel Bait, and Palace Brothers were all from Louisville, KY. But let's not forget Devo, Pere Ubu, Necros, and others.
Ugh, that is depressing. I was hoping for a feel good story.The only virus that EQD can credibly be held accountable for is GAS =).
The article reports that they had $5MM in sales last year and 50 employees. After salaries, marketing, raw materials, assembly, etc. no one should have the perception that they're making "too much money."
I am thrilled that they're doing well, however. I also hope that they make enough money that anti-capitalists get irked.
If EQD makes that kind of money then we're loving their pedals.
Good on them.
Seriously, that board is nasty!Did the WSJ put out a call for the crustiest pedalboard in music??
It's great to hear of companies that still do customer service right.They did the same for me about 12-13 years ago.

Helluva relic job. I see an emerging market for hand-scuzzed hipster pedal assemblagesSeriously, that board is nasty!
Let it be known Dr. Z (Maple Heights) & Reeves Amps (Cincinnati) are both well-respected amp brands made in Ohio.Good on EQD. Wonderful company.
LeBron and EarthQuaker are the only notable things to come out of Ohio lmao
