Earthquaker Devices Easy Listening Stereo Analogue Amp Simulator

The EarthQuaker Devices Easy Listening is a fully analogue stereo amp and speaker cabinet simulator designed to slot straight into modern ampless rigs. With true stereo I/O, balanced XLR outs and a dedicated headphone output, it gives you mix-ready tones for silent practice, direct recording and live use without ever touching a traditional amp.

Instead of digital modelling or IR loading, Easy Listening uses a zero-latency analogue signal path that feels immediate and responsive under the fingers. An active 3-band EQ and separate level controls for your instrument and auxiliary input make it simple to dial in a polished sound, whether you are tracking, rehearsing with backing tracks or going straight to front-of-house.

Analogue Amp and Cab Simulation

Easy Listening delivers convincing amp and speaker cabinet style tones using a fully analogue circuit. With no menus, presets or latency to worry about, it behaves like a familiar piece of studio hardware, giving you a natural, dynamic feel that reacts to your playing and pedals in front of it.

Stereo Ready for Modern Rigs

With dual 1/4" inputs and stereo balanced XLR outputs, Easy Listening is built for stereo pedalboards, wet/dry setups and spacious ambient sounds. It can also take a mono signal and widen it into a roomy stereo image, making your existing rig sound bigger and more immersive without extra complexity.

Silent Practice and Direct Recording

The dedicated stereo headphone output and low-noise Class AB headphone amplifier make Easy Listening ideal for late-night practice and detailed tone work without disturbing anyone. Plug the XLR outputs straight into an interface or mixer for clean, consistent direct tones that sit easily in a mix.

Aux Input for Backing Tracks

A separate 1/4" TRS auxiliary input with its own level control lets you feed in backing tracks, click or reference mixes. Balance your instrument and aux levels on the pedal and you have a compact, self-contained practice and rehearsal solution that fits on your board.

• Fully Analogue Stereo Amp and Cab Simulator - Enjoy natural, responsive tones from a zero-latency analogue circuit that feels like playing through a real amp and cab, without the complexity of digital menus or IR management.
• True Stereo I/O with Balanced XLR and Headphone Outputs - Dual 1/4" inputs, stereo XLR outs and a stereo headphone output make it easy to integrate Easy Listening into studio, stage and home setups, from stereo boards to direct-to-desk recording.
