Earthquaker Devices ZEQD-Pre
A collaboration between EarthQuaker Devices and Dr. Z Amplification
This all-analog tube preamplifier brings together EarthQuaker Devices’ innovative pedal design and Dr. Z Amplification’s decades of tube amp expertise. With a passive three-band EQ, professional headphone output, balanced XLR output, and onboard analog cabinet simulation, the ZEQD-Pre delivers authentic tube warmth and dynamic response in a complete analog amplifier system that fits right on your pedalboard.
Practice Amp with Headphones
The headphone output features built-in analog cabinet simulation for a realistic amp feel during quiet practice sessions. Enjoy the full EF86 tube character without disturbing your housemates.
Direct Amplifier via XLR
Run the balanced XLR output straight into any console or interface and use the ZEQD-Pre as your main amp. The analog cabinet simulation is there when you need it, or flip the Cab Bypass switch to send a pure signal to your preferred IR loader or modeling software. Perfect for direct recording, backline-free gigs, or hybrid rigs with multiple signal paths.
Flexible Routing
All outputs work simultaneously, even when the pedal is bypassed. Send your signal to an amp, route a direct feed to front-of-house, and monitor through headphones—all at once. This routing flexibility makes the ZEQD-Pre an invaluable studio tool.
Key Features:
- All-analog tube preamp using EF86 pentode for high headroom and dynamic response
- Collaboration with Dr. Z Amplification delivering boutique amp-style tone in pedal format
- Built-in analog cabinet simulation for direct recording and silent practice
- Balanced XLR output with ground lift for direct-to-FOH or interface use
- Passive three-band EQ with wide frequency shaping and amp-style response
- Dedicated headphone output with cab sim for realistic silent monitoring
- Boost circuit bypasses EQ for full-range output and increased volume
- Flexible routing with simultaneous outputs for amp, DI, and headphones
- Cab sim bypass for use with external IR loaders or modelling rigs
- Designed as end-of-chain preamp to enhance tone and add authentic tube character
