EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run Stereo Reverb & Delaywith Tap Tempo

The EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run is a 2-in-1 Stereo Reverb and Delay effects pedal that features Stereo Output, an Expression Jack, and 6 Ratio Settings as well as a full selection of controls to dial in the reverb and delay to your liking.

Description

Stereo Reverb & Delay

The Avalanche Run was developed with one goal in mind: to take the floating ambient tones of our Dispatch Master to the next level while still keeping it user friendly and refined. Taking you into the aural exploratorium without having to break open the user manual every time you want to open up your inner eye and get free is no easy task. We are using a high powered proprietary DSP platform to recreate all the characteristics of all our old favorite delay and reverb machines while still retaining a simple, yet flexible workspace. It has been a long time coming but well worth the wait! Enough bullshit, lets talk about the damn pedal!

The Avalanche Run is a dreamy sonic discovery device with up to 2 seconds of delay time and a lush reverb. It features complete control over delay time, repeats, mix and voice (with the tone control), as well as control over the reverb length and mix. It can run in one of 3 different modes: Normal, Reverse and Swell. In Normal mode, the Avalanche Run functions as a straightforward delay and reverb. In Reverse mode, the delay line is in reverse and the reverb remains in normal mode. In Swell mode, the Avalanche Run reacts to your picking dynamics and adds a volume swell to the entire signal path much like manually raising and lowering the volume of your guitar.

The Avalanche Run features an expression jack that can be assigned to one of six different controls using the EXP selector switch. It also features Tap Tempo with six different ratios accessed via the Ratio selector switch. The Avalanche Run can also be run in True Bypass mode or Buffered Bypass mode for trails and features 5 different tail lengths including Infinite for lo-fi and continuously degrading pseudo-looping.

The Tap switch also has a few other cool secondary functions. While in Normal and Swell mode, you can send the Avalanche Run into self-oscillation by holding down the Tap footswitch. In Reverse, mode holding down the Tap switch will flip the delay back into Normal mode and return to Reverse mode once released!

Each and every Avalanche Run is completely assembled, wired and tested by total human beans in the tiny tundra town of Akron, Ohio.

Features

Controls

TOP ROW

Time: This controls the delay time and goes from 0ms to just under 2000ms.

Repeats: Controls the regeneration of the delay, from zero repeats to near infinite.

Tone: Controls the tone for the delay line only. Roll off highs to the left, roll off lows to the right and get a flat response in the middle.

Mix: The is the volume control for the delay line. This blends in the wet with dry until 1 oclock, 1 oclock to 3 oclock boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 oclock up brings down dry until it is fully wet when all the way up.

BOTTOM ROW

Expression Jack Assign Switch: Use this switch to map the expression jack to one of the assigned controls.

• Decay- Controls the reverb decay length

• R Mix- Controls the reverb mix

• Time- This takes over for the delay time control and is DRASTICALLY different than the interface control. Using the expression pedal to control the time will give you all kind

Expression Jack
The expression jack is located on the west side of the pedal. It is a TRS jack with the tip acting as the wiper.

We recommend using a Moog expression pedal with the output adjustment knob all the way up.

We cannot guarantee any other expression pedal to work with the Avalanche Run.

Flexi-Switch Technology
This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.

For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.

For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as youd like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.

Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal.

Power
For best results, please use the included 9v center-negative 1-amp DC power supply.
