EarthQuaker Devices has launched the Easy Listening, an analog amp simulator and headphone amp in a mini pedal enclosure, the company announced on July 16, 2025¹²³. Guitar Pedal X reported a US price of $99 and said it would be available imminently from international dealers²; MusicRadar listed the same $99 figure and said it was available now³.

The pedal is built around an all-analog preamp and cabinet simulation circuit that EarthQuaker says is voiced after a '65 Deluxe¹. It has one control, a Level knob for output level¹². The input is mono on a ¼-inch TS jack with 1 MΩ impedance; the output is stereo on a ¼-inch TRS jack, with the tip carrying the left channel and the ring the right¹. EarthQuaker says headphones need a ¼-inch TRS plug, and that a mono TS cable into one interface channel or a TRS cable with a splitter into two channels works for recording¹. MusicRadar reported a low-noise AB headphone driver inside and said the 1 MΩ input and headroom suit overdrives and fuzz pedals placed in front³.

EarthQuaker says the pedal carries a limited lifetime warranty¹ and is designed and made in Akron, Ohio¹³. Guitar Pedal X described it as a reduced-size alternative to the Strymon Iridium without that pedal's IRs or secondary effects².
