EarthQuaker Devices announced the Stereo Easy Listening, a stereo version of its Easy Listening amp simulator, on September 10, 2026. The company describes it as a compact, all-analog unit with zero latency and no digital artifacts¹.

The pedal takes true stereo inputs on left and right ¼" jacks; with a mono source, plugging into the left input only makes the unit convert the signal to stereo, which the maker says gives "the massive sound of two separate amps"¹. Outputs are a stereo ¼" TRS headphone out and left and right XLR outs¹. The maker says the foundational voice draws on "the enduring, mid-scooped warmth of a classic American amplifier"¹. The original Easy Listening was voiced after a '65 Deluxe².

Controls are Level (master volume), Aux (volume for the auxiliary input, which bypasses the preamp and cabinet simulator circuitry), and an active three-band EQ: Bass cuts and boosts up to 500 Hz, Middle from 500 Hz to 2 kHz, and Treble from 2 kHz up¹. The unit measures 5.00 x 2.75 x 2.50 in. (127 x 70 x 64 mm) with knobs, draws 200 mA, has a 1 MΩ input impedance, 10 Ω headphone output impedance and 100 Ω XLR output impedance, and runs on a standard 9 volt DC supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel¹. Artwork is by Geoffrey Crowe¹.

Prices differ between reports. Gearnews lists $244.00 at Thomann and $249.00 at Sweetwater, and says the pedal is available to order at both³. Guitar Pedal X gives $249 and says both the Stereo and the original $99 mini are widely available at leading dealers⁴. EarthQuaker's own page shows preorder and availability messaging without a price¹. Gearnews also reports a Ground Lift switch³, which EarthQuaker's controls list does not mention¹.
