Earthquaker Devices Hummingbird v3 User Manual
Hummingbird
Welcome to your new Hummingbird Repeat Percussion tremolo! The
Hummingbird is a choppy, sawtooth tremolo modeled on the vintage “repeat
It is capable of producing everything from classic “50’s style” shimmering
tremolo to a synthy, delay-like chop that turns your signal into a burst of
short pings and on through to near ring modulation speeds. Simply choosing
between modes 1 (slow), 2 (mid-tempo) or 3 (fast) and adjusting the rate
and depth controls will unlock a whole new world of amplitude modulation
at your feet. The Rate is also expression pedal accessible to allow instant
random amplitude modulation! In addition to the modulation, the Hummingbird
has plenty of clean gain on-tap allowing you to either boost or cut the signal
using the level control. If the Depth is turned to zero, the Hummingbird will
become a JFET clean boost! The Hummingbird is all analog, true bypass
and handmade one at a time on a gilded cloud in Akron, Ohio.
Controls
• Rate: This adjusts the speed of the oscillator. Faster clockwise, slower
counter clockwise.
• Depth: This adjusts how much the oscillator affects the signal. All the way
clockwise produces a full chop, all the way counter clockwise produces no
chop and the Hummingbird can be used as a simple JFET booster.
• Level: Adjusts the output volume
• Mode: Three way toggle switch which selects the range of the oscillator.
Mode 1 is slow, mode 2 is mid tempo and mode 3 is fast.
• Expression Jack: Use an expression pedal to adjust the rate with your foot!
When an expression pedal is in use the Rate control is defeated.
We recommend the Moog EP-2 expression pedal.
Power
Any standard regulated 9 volt power supply with a negative center 2.1mm
barrel. Do not run at higher voltages! Current draw is around 10ma.
