EarthQuaker Devices announced on April 24 a limited-edition version of its Avalanche Run V2 stereo reverb and delay pedal made in partnership with Lottery League, an Ohio organization that places area musicians into new bands1. A portion of proceeds from the pedal, designed by Cleveland artist Clay Parker, goes to the charity1. It is set to be sold exclusively through Reverb1.
The Avalanche Run V2 offers up to two seconds of delay time and a stereo reverb2. It has controls for delay time, repeats, mix and voice via a tone control, plus reverb length and mix2. A three-way toggle selects among Normal, Reverse and Swell modes: in Normal the pedal works as a straightforward delay and reverb, in Reverse the delay line runs backward while the reverb stays in normal mode, and in Swell it reacts to picking dynamics and adds a volume swell to the entire signal path2. Guitar.com reports tap tempo with subdivision control, switchable true or buffered bypass with five different tail lengths, and an assignable expression control, with the delay adjustable from tape emulation to bucket brigade styles and a plate-style reverb with modulation and adjustable decay1.
The pedal uses silent relay-based soft touch switching, and audio will not pass without power2. It runs on 9V DC, center negative, at 425mA, and is hand made in Ohio, USA2. Guitar.com describes EQD as making its pedals by hand in Akron, Ohio1.
Pre-orders are $299 until May 29, with units expected to ship in mid-June1.
"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."
