Avalanche Run
The EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run V2 is a versatile stereo delay and reverb pedal designed for creating expansive soundscapes and ambient textures. It offers up to 2 seconds of delay time, lush plate-style reverb, and three distinct modes: Normal, Reverse, and Swell. Features include tap tempo, an expression input for dynamic control, and the ability to switch between true bypass and buffered bypass with multiple tail lengths. This pedal allows for experimentation with complex, abstract sounds and can be combined with other pedals such as the Afterneath V2 for even more sonic possibilities.
What EarthQuaker Devices say about the Avalanche Run
The Avalanche Run is a dreamy stereosonic exploratory multi-tool that includes up to 2 seconds of delay time, reverse delay, tap tempo with subdivision control, switchable true bypass or buffered bypass with 5 different tail lengths (including a sound-on-sound style lo-fi looping mode) and an assignable expression control that maps the expression jack to a control of your choice, including the toggle! The delay section allows tweaking from tape emulation to bucket brigade styles with a twist of the wide-range Tone control. The cavernous, plate-style reverb has just a touch of modulation similar to the one found in our precious Dispatch Master only more lush with an adjustable Decay. Otherworldly reverse delay and dynamic swelling reverb settings are accessible through a 3-way toggle switch. And that’s just the beginning...
