EarthQuaker Devices reissues Bellows fuzz driver as limited mini pedal

July 2, 2026 · 2 sources

EarthQuaker Devices has reissued the Bellows Fuzz Driver in a mini-format enclosure, limited to 1,000 units worldwide¹. Gearnews reported the reissue on July 6, 2026, as part of the company's Legacy Reissue Series¹. Delicious Audio reported the pedal on July 2, 2026, calling it the Bellows Jr.².

The pedal has two knobs and top-mounted jacks². The Level control adjusts output by changing the transistor's bias voltage, and Gearnews notes that a little noise while turning it is normal¹. The Drive control manages input gain: counterclockwise keeps the tone thinner and cleaner, while clockwise thickens it with more growl¹. Delicious Audio describes the Drive control as working like a non-master amp's volume knob, with lower settings giving wider, grittier breakup and higher settings reaching blown-out fuzz territory².

Inside, Gearnews reports the all-analog circuit is identical to the original, using a mix of silicon and JFET transistor clipping¹. The original came out during NAMM 2016¹. The reissue has a compact, space-saving enclosure and new artwork by illustrator Geoff Crowe¹. Gearnews reports it works equally well on guitar and bass guitar, and that Jamie Stillman, described as the EQD head honcho, says it works well on any amp¹. Delicious Audio reports the pedal is not based on any specific circuit and is instead a nod to non-master-volume amps of yesteryear².

Gearnews lists the pedal as available now at Thomann, priced at $142¹. A price of $139.00 also appears in the same article¹. Delicious Audio gives no price or availability details².
