The EarthQuaker Devices Chelsea LTD Silver Grey is a limited-edition optical compressor pedal that delivers smooth, transparent dynamics control for guitar and bass. Hand-finished in a striking silver-grey enclosure, it combines studio-grade performance with boutique styling.

Compact Studio-Quality Compression

The Chelsea LTD Silver Grey fits seamlessly into any pedalboard, offering warm, musical sustain and dynamic leveling without sacrificing your instrument’s natural tone. Its intuitive controls let you dial in everything from subtle smoothing to lush, pumping compression.

Housed in a custom silver-grey chassis and built by hand in Akron, Ohio, this pedal features true-bypass switching, low-noise circuitry, and premium components throughout. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or performing live, the Chelsea LTD Silver Grey delivers consistent, professional-grade results every time.

With only three controls, this deceptively powerful pedal offers you everything from light overdrive to full on distortion with clarity and blissful grinding. A Tone On / Off switch allows you remove the Tone control from the circuit, opening up a whole new world of midrange grind. Switch it off for a simplified and straightforward attack or leave it on for a full-bodied distortion with loads of low-end with a slight natural scoop. Roll up the Sustain for wall-shaking bass notes or sustaining lead and adjust the Tone for a wild and wide frequency response from aggressive top end to low-end rumble.
