{"product_id":"earthquaker-acapulco-gold-v2-359847","title":"Acapulco Gold V2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom Limited Edition to Classic Heavy Tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed as a limited edition, the \u003cstrong\u003eAcapulco Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e became a permanent model due to overwhelming demand. Its original circuit does not aim to reproduce a classic \"preamp\" distortion: here, the idea is to capture the \u003cstrong\u003esaturation of a power amp\u003c\/strong\u003e, with that dense grain, natural compression, and volume reserve typical of a \u003cstrong\u003eSunn Model T\u003c\/strong\u003e when pushed to the max.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result: a pedal with a strong character, designed for sounds that fill the space, from monolithic riffs to guitar walls, while remaining surprisingly lively under the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Guitarists and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Acapulco Gold is aimed at musicians who want a simple and inspiring \u003cstrong\u003eguitar distortion pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of turning a clean amp into a riff machine. It excels in \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estoner\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edoom\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003enoise rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, and all aesthetics seeking a massive yet organic drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the studio, it fits easily into a mix thanks to its \"amp\" feel and playing response. Live, it is perfect on a minimalist pedalboard: you set your base volume on the pedal, then control the saturation level with your guitar's volume knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Switching, and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe approach is deliberately straightforward: a \u003cstrong\u003esingle potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e (large format) controls the output level and the amount of \"push\" sent to your amp. This simplicity is precisely its strength: you find your sweet spot in seconds, then sculpt the rest with your right hand and guitar controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eV2 (late 2016)\u003c\/strong\u003e features a \u003cstrong\u003esilent relay switch\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to minimize unwanted noise when activating. The pedal is advertised as \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, preserving the signal when the effect is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a \u003cstrong\u003ethick, harmonically rich\u003c\/strong\u003e distortion, with an attack that remains clear when playing hard, and a very \"amp-like\" feel when letting chords breathe. The Acapulco Gold reacts heavily to your \u003cstrong\u003eguitar's volume\u003c\/strong\u003e : at very low volume, the sound becomes drier and snappier like a nervous rhythm\u0026#59; just below max, you get a \u003cstrong\u003efleshy, expressive overdrive\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026#59; at full volume, it's an \u003cstrong\u003eexplosion\u003c\/strong\u003e, like a Model T on the edge of breaking down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding inspirations and uses, this pedal is found in genres ranging from alternative and noise rock to heavier, saturated textures\u0026#59; it is notably associated with guitarists known for their radical and dynamic tones such as \u003cstrong\u003eLee Ranaldo\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Albini\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eChelsea Wolfe\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
