The EarthQuaker Devices x Lottery League Avalanche Run V2 is a limited edition of the Avalanche Run V2, the Akron maker's stereo reverb and delay pedal. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the Avalanche Run as "a dreamy sonic discovery device with up to 2 seconds of delay time and a lush stereo reverb"1. The Lottery League Edition pairs that circuit with artwork by Clay Parker, an artist from Cleveland, and was sold exclusively through Reverb, with a portion of proceeds going to Lottery League2.
What it does
The Avalanche Run combines a long delay with stereo reverb in one enclosure. The delay section offers up to two seconds of delay time, and its styles are tweakable from tape emulation to bucket brigade character, the two classic delay flavors12. A three-way toggle switch gives access to reverse delay and dynamic swelling reverb settings2. EarthQuaker Devices developed the circuit "to take the floating ambient tones of our Dispatch Master to the next level while still keeping it user friendly"1, and players who like that pedal's ambient character can read more on the Dispatch Master V3.
Other controls and features worth knowing:
- Tap tempo with subdivision control2
- An assignable expression control, so an expression pedal can be mapped to a chosen parameter2
- Silent relay-based soft touch switching1
- Switchable true-bypass or buffered bypass with five different tail lengths2
The V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching, and audio will not pass without power1. With a 425mA current draw1, it needs its own supply output rather than a battery or a shared daisy chain.
The Lottery League Edition
This version is a limited edition of a pedal that, as Guitar.com put it, "has been out for a while, and remains a popular choice for guitarists" looking for a versatile reverb/delay pedal2. Announced on 24 April 2024, it was set to be sold exclusively through Reverb, with pre-orders open until 29 May at $299 in the US and £253 in the UK, and units expected to ship in mid-June2. The enclosure carries artwork designed by Clay Parker, and a portion of proceeds went to Lottery League2.
How it sits in the EarthQuaker Devices range
The Avalanche Run is the long-delay, stereo side of the delay pedal lineup. Players comparing it within the maker's catalog might also look at the Space Spiral V2 modulated delay, the Disaster Transport SR, or the compact multi-mode Silos. For reverb on its own, the Ghost Echo V3 sits on the reverb pedal side of the range12.

Questions
Is the Lottery League Avalanche Run V2 the same as the standard V2?
The Lottery League Edition is a limited edition of the standard Avalanche Run V2, which Guitar.com notes had been out for a while and remained a popular choice for guitarists.
