EarthQuaker Devices & LCD Soundsystem Unveil the Chelsea Low End Fuzz Driver

EarthQuaker Devices has teamed up with LCD Soundsystem to bring you Chelsea, a fuzz pedal born from the road-worn, one-of-a-kind unit that shaped the band’s bass tones for years.

Originally a mystery fuzz pedal with a history of repairs, swaps, and sheer luck, it became James Murphy’s go-to, delivering massive, gritty tones that balanced clarity and chaos. But after decades of use, it was on the verge of collapse—until EarthQuaker stepped in.

Chelsea captures every nuance of the original, minus the fragility. With just three intuitive controls and a Tone On/Off switch, it ranges from subtle overdrive to full-on distortion, with deep low-end and midrange grind. Built to last, it’s handmade in Akron, Ohio, and ready for the modern world.
