EarthQuaker Dispatch Master Delay and Reverb

Want to dip into ambient delay and reverb sounds for just one note? Press and hold the footswitch for as long as you use the effect, release it when you’re finished, and resume your regularly scheduled dry sound. To use the Dispatch Master as a normal effects pedal, press the switch once to activate and again to bypass. 

This device features Flexi-Switch® Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.

• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.

• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.

Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal.

To Use Both Effects at the Same Time, Simply Adjust all Controls to Taste:

• The Mix (1) control is a wet/dry blend that adjusts the overall level of the affected signal.

• Time (2) sets the delay time from 0ms to 1500ms (1.5 seconds).

• Reverb (3) controls the amount of reverb. Counterclockwise is less reverb, clockwise is more reverb.

• Repeats (4) controls the regeneration of the delay signal. When the Repeats control is set to maximum, you’ll get infinite repeats without runaway self-oscillation, which makes it great for creating drones, dialing in the ultimate post-rock guitar sound without feedback, or just having fun.

To Use the Dispatch Master as a Delay Only:


• Turn the Reverb control all the way down


• Adjust the Time, Repeats, and Mix controls to taste


To Use the Dispatch Master as a Reverb Only:


• Turn the Time and Repeats controls all the way down


• Adjust the Reverb and Mix controls to taste

Power

This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!

Current Draw: 78 mA
