EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold Pedal V2

The EQD Acapulco Gold V2 is a fire-breathing distortion pedal that packs the raw power and sound of a cranked vintage amp into a simple, one-knob design. Whether you want roaring rock tones or gritty blues overdrive, this little box delivers big sound with no fuss. Just turn the knob and let your guitar do the rest!

Inspired by the massive tone of the Sunn Model T, this pedal brings that legendary amp's thick, saturated distortion to your pedalboard - without the need for ear-shattering volume or expensive maintenance. It reacts to your guitar's volume and tone controls like a real tube amp, giving you a wide range of sounds from subtle grit to full-on fuzzed-out chaos. Simple, powerful, and endlessly fun, the Acapulco Gold v2 is a must-have for players who love a big, unapologetic tone.

EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold Review

Modeled after the legendary Sunn Model T amp, the EarthQuaker Acapulco Gold captures the magic of a maxed-out tube head in a pedal-sized package. Its single big knob controls volume, but your guitar's tone and volume knobs unlock a surprising range of sounds—from a warm, spanky twang to a full-throttle wall of distortion. The latest version also features silent, relay-based switching for smooth operation on stage and in the studio.

Unlike traditional distortion pedals that rely on gain and EQ controls, the Acapulco Gold v2 responds dynamically to your playing and guitar settings, just like a real tube amp. Roll back your volume for a gritty, bluesy drive, or crank it up for pure sonic mayhem. It's loud, it's raw, and it delivers a harmonically rich tone that cuts through any mix. Whether you need vintage crunch or modern sludge, this pedal brings the heat.

Inexpensive part and YouTube knowledge lead to quick fix
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Solenoid went out on boat. After viewing multiple videos on YouTube I figured that my solenoid was bad. Ordered this and received a day later. Replaced the other one and this worked perfectly.

Worked perfectly!
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Have an older Mercury 40hp 2 stroke. This Solenoid worked perfectly. It is not that easy to install, due to the design of the engine. It does require a bit of patient and the right tools to do it. If you have big hands and don't do this type of repair to often, call a friend that is better than you to get some help :) I have an older engine but it runs like charm. I will order an extra Solenoid and place in the box of "important spare parts" for the future. Very good experience for the purchase and overall quality of the part.

Perfect fit and works great
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Perfect fit and works great. It is great that it comes as a 2pk. I replaced both with no need to change wiring, and kept the working one I had, as backup.

It works as it should...
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Used it in a pinch for stater relay... it works great. Be aware... Mine required metric sockets for the nuts... 10mm for large terminals - 3/8 was too tight and same for smaller terminals 7mm fit better than 5/16 that was too loose. The mounting holes are also spaced closer together than the OEM on a mercruiser 260 in a mid 1980's boat but easy to remedy with a 1/4" drill bit.
