While working on tomorrow’s demo/review post, I stumbled across Fat Tone’s video review of the Earthquaker Devices Dirt Transmitter pedal, so I thought I would mention this real quick like. Seems like a very interesting lo-fi style pedal that might be the thing you’re looking for! When I say lo-fi, I think I’m saying old-school retro fuzz, something about it.. is quite cool.

Here is the official description:

The EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter Pedal is designed for the fuzz pedal fan who wants it all. It features a dual transistor setup for the fuzz tone we all look for. Built with only the finest parts, the EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter Pedal is almost silent when in engaged and completely quiet when disengaged thanks for the true bypass switch.

The EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter Pedal has an unbelievable range of tones lurking within it’s industrial metal case. The key to the sound is the Bias control which controls the voltage being sent to the transistors. It allows the Dirt Transmitter to have a cool gated style fuzz when twisted counter clockwise and when turned back the other way the fuzz returns to normal. The transistors become properly biased at around 2 O’Clock. Add to that a Tone knob that is essentially a bass cut, and you begin to realize the power that is the EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter Pedal.

* True Bypass
* LED Indicator
* Standard Boss-Style 9 volt adapter or battery (battery included)
* Top Quality parts
* Handmade in Akron, Ohio

And here is the video that I was referring to:

A couple of days ago, I posted about Fat Tone Guitar exclusively selling the Earthquaker Devices Zap Machine Fuzz pedal for $175. At that time, they did not have a video demo of the pedal. Looks like Phil whipped up a quick one… and here it is:

Phil from Fat Tone Guitars let me know of a exclusive pedal deal only available at Fat Tone. It’s the Earthquaker Devices Zap Machine fuzz pedal!  This is a limited run pedal made for Fat Tone exclusively, which is pretty neat and unique!

Here are the specifics:

What’s silver, sounds big and fuzzy and only available at Fat Tone Guitars? The Earthquaker Devices Zap Machine. This limited edition fuzz pedal has a very wide and dynamic range from near clean boost with the fuzz at minimum through overloaded fuzz tones with fuzz at maximum. Control over the low end frequencies lets you change the character of the Zap Machine. The bass knob allows it to behave as an overdrive, distortion or fuzz box depending on where the bass and fuzz controls are set.

The Zap Machine also has excellent response to picking dynamics, a trait rarely found in fuzz boxes. Cleans up nicely with the volume knob on your guitar too. True Bypass and built one at a time in Akron, OH.

Features
* True Bypass
* Level – Controls the volume
* Fuzz – From boost to overload and everything in between
* Bass – Controls the sub frequencies and character of the dirt
* 9V DC adapter (not included) or 9V battery
* Hand made
* Limited Edition with low serial number

Phil also mentioned that he shot a video demo of this pedal, and when it’s out, I’ll post it as well. You can pick up the Earthquaker Devices Zap Machine Fuzz pedal for $175.00 at Fat Tone Guitars only!

I saw that Fat Tone Guitars recently had a pedal reviewed by Gearmanndude, so I had to check it out. It’s the Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo Reverb.

Here is the official description of the pedal:

The Ghost Echo Reverb is designed to emulate a vintage reverb unit. It ‘s capable of providing a little atmosphere all the way through to vast depths. The attack control sets the delay of the initial pick attack on the wet signal only. When playing staccato this registers as a slap back type echo hitting the reverb but when playing fluid lines it adds a massive depth and “fattens” up the sound. The dwell control is a fine tune function that enhances the decay. At first it may seem like it’s not there but back it off and you’ll miss it. The depth controls the intensity of the reverb.

And, here is the review by gearmanndude:
