Legacy Reissue
Long before EarthQuaker Devices earned its status as one of the world’s premier boutique builders, the company began life as a humble 1-man operation out of Jamie Stillman’s Akron, Ohio home. The EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport Delay Modulation Machine delay pedal is a reissue of one of the company’s very first creations from that era, an experimental but eminently usable modulation-heavy, analog-style delay that makes it abundantly clear just why EarthQuaker Devices rose so quickly to pedal prominence. This pedal’s delay section has been twisted and tweaked from the original, supplying you with a cleaner mixing section, boosted output, and up to 600ms of far more authentic analog-style echo. The footswitchable modulation section also boasts a significant reimagining by swapping out the old configuration for two sets of 3-way switches, and an Intensity knob take you from a subtle chorus-y splash to seriously twisted tones. It’s all finished with a comprehensive set of function upgrades, including a reduced noise floor, improved output, and a cleaner mixing section. The EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport Delay Modulation Machine proves while Jamie Stillman and company certainly started off on a firm foundation, they’re now at the pinnacle of their pedal-making prowess.
