EarthQuaker Devices was founded in 2004 by musician Jamie Stillman who was in the Party of Helicopters, Relaxer, Fringe Candidate, Teeth of the Hydra, Drummer and Harriet the Spy bands. From 1993 until 2002, Stillman operated the Donut Friends record label from his home in Kent, Ohio, releasing more than fifty records by mainly punk and metal bands gaining a cult following around the World. Stillman began designing EarthQuaker Devices Guitar Pedals after a successful attempt at repairing a broken overdrive pedal.
