“The Night Wire is a fun pedal and a great springboard for creativity. I love tremolo and I already have a number of tremolo pedals (including one with harmonic trem). But I wanted one with the Ramp down function, which is why I got the Night Wire. To my mind, the voice of the Night Wire doesn’t quite nail the chewiness of vintage harmonic tremolo, but then this is clearly a contemporary interpretation of a vintage effect and it’s very good at what it does. The depth of the tremolo sound is impressive. It is deep and throbby and it works well with both clean and overdriven/fuzz sounds (not always the case with Trem in my opinion). I have only scratched the surface of the other functions and there’s clearly a lot of versatility within the pedal to engender creativity. It’s also worth mentioning the soft switching, which is a joy to use... I wish more pedal builders incorporated this feature. Oh, the colour and finish is cool too. Recently I have received a few pedals (Not Earthquaker) where quality control hasn’t really been up to par. Out of interest, I took a look inside the Night Wire and was very impressed with the superb quality of the workmanship.... EQD are cool guys and they run a tight ship. It strikes me that everyone who works there takes great pride in their work. This is my third EQD pedal and it won’t be my last, that’s for sure. I would highly recommend this pedal for those who are up for a really useable trem which offers great options for experimentation.”
