The EarthQuaker Devices Easy Listening Stereo analog amp simulator pedal brings the sound and feel of a great tube amp to the end of your signal chain—no amplifier required. Its fully analog design combines a low-noise Class AB driver with analog speaker cab simulation for lush, dynamic response with zero latency, whether you're plugging in headphones for silent playing or taking your rig direct for recording and performance. Dual 1/4" inputs preserve the width of stereo pedalboards, while a mono signal can be expanded into a spacious stereo field that carries through the headphone output and dual XLR outs. A familiar three-band EQ makes dialing in your sound effortless, and an AUX input lets you mix in backing tracks for practice and warmups. With plenty of clean headroom for everything from vintage fuzz to stacked gain stages—and no menus, IR loading or digital artifacts to contend with—Easy Listening Stereo offers a refreshingly straightforward way to leave the amp behind without sacrificing amp-like feel.
Analog Class AB Driver and Cab Simulation for Tube-Like Feel
Easy Listening Stereo keeps the entire audio path analog, using a low-noise Class AB driver and speaker cab simulation to deliver the warmth, dynamics and natural response players expect from a traditional amplifier. Generous clean headroom lets the unit sit comfortably at the end of a pedalboard without collapsing under demanding signals, preserving the character of everything from vintage fuzz to modern stacked gain stages. Because there is no digital conversion or IR processing in the signal path, response is immediate and free of latency, giving pick attack, dynamics and effects the direct feel that matters whether you're listening through headphones or tracking straight into a recording setup.
True Stereo I/O Preserves the Width of Your Entire Rig
Built for stereo from input to output, Easy Listening Stereo lets spacious delays, reverbs, modulation and other stereo effects retain their full width all the way through the end of your signal chain. Dual 1/4" inputs accept true left and right signals, while a mono source can be widened into a full stereo field for a bigger, more dimensional listening experience. That stereo image carries through the 1/4" headphone output for immersive private playing and the dual XLR outputs for direct recording or amplification, giving you the freedom to enjoy a wide stereo rig without setting up a pair of traditional amps.
Active Three-Band EQ for Familiar, Hands-On Tone Shaping
Dedicated Bass, Mid and Treble controls bring familiar amplifier-style tone shaping to the Easy Listening Stereo, making it easy to tailor the analog amp and cab response around your guitar, pedals and playing environment. A Level control sets the overall output, while the AUX input and dedicated AUX level let you bring songs, backing tracks or other audio into the mix for headphone practice, backstage warmups and casual playing. Everything stays immediate and tactile—no menus to navigate, presets to manage or impulse responses to load—so dialing in your sound remains as straightforward as working with a traditional amp.
Dual XLR Outputs for Ampless Recording and Direct Rigs
Beyond headphone playing, the EarthQuaker Devices Easy Listening Stereo can serve as the final stage of a streamlined ampless setup, sending its analog amp and speaker simulation directly to recording or live sound gear through dual XLR outputs. The balanced connections make it easy to preserve a stereo signal when running into an audio interface, mixer or PA, while a ground lift helps address unwanted hum caused by ground loops in connected equipment. Easy Listening Stereo can also add analog amp-like character after modelers or integrate into an amplifier's effects loop, giving it a useful role in hybrid rigs as well as fully ampless setups. Built in Akron, Ohio, it brings EQD's straightforward analog approach to a flexible stereo platform for headphones, recording and direct performance.
