Death By Audio, EarthQuaker Devices Collab for the Time Shadows

November 11, 2020 · 5 sources

Death By Audio and EarthQuaker Devices announced a first-time collaboration, the Time Shadows, a limited-edition pedal that puts two effects in one box, with each side designed by one of the two builders. EarthQuaker Devices describes it as a collaboration between the two companies, and the pedal is listed by the maker as a Subharmonic Multi-Delay Resonator, a delay pedal at heart¹². The project paired EarthQuaker Devices founder Jamie Stillman with Death By Audio founder Oliver "Ollie" Ackermann for the first time³.

The two builders each designed a new effect around one of EarthQuaker's circuit boards, so both sides of the pedal share a common lineage while sounding nothing alike¹. A center toggle switch selects between the EarthQuaker side and the Death By Audio side¹.

The pedal's three knobs control:

• Delay time
• Filter span
• Filter cutoff¹

Oliver Ackermann described the two sides in the makers' own words¹:

The Time Shadows listed at $199 and could be ordered exclusively from Reverb.com¹. It was released as a Pedal Movie Exclusive, a limited edition tied to the launch of a new trailer for The Pedal Movie, which the companies celebrated with the pedal's announcement¹⁴.

The product page for the Time Shadows is on the site, and Death By Audio co-credits the build alongside EarthQuaker Devices¹⁵.
