EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport Jr. Analog Digital Delay Effects Pedal

TheDisaster Transport Jr. is an analog voiced digital delay with 625msdelay time with an all analog dry signal path and true bypassswitching. It was designed as an anti-modern delay for those whoappreciate a nice vintage tape echo with all it’s peculiarities. Itsunique tone control doubles as a noise filter on longer delay settingsand really helps the delay shine with a dirty signal. The mix controlallows you to boost the effected signal to nearly 4x the originalsignal level and the repeats control goes from one signal repeat tonear infinite repeats all the way through to self oscillation.

Controls

Mix: Setsthe output level of the effected signal. This should be treated as again control/master volume for the delay line. Unity is around noon andeverything above noon will boost the delayed signal louder than theoriginal. This is a gain control so, like any pedal with a lot of gain,a hint of noise and distortion at max setting is completely normal.

Tone: Mostdelay pedals are heavily filtered at the output to remove the clocknoise and other unwanted hash that is common from extending the rangeof the delay time beyond the limit of the circuitry. This usuallyleaves the delay sounding dark, muddy and disappear when hitting itwith dirt. The Disaster Transport has done away with a lot of the heavyfiltering and replaced it with a tone control which allows the user tochoose their desired sound and results in more natural tape-likerepeats. The tone control is at it’s darkest fully counter clockwiseand brightens as you turn it clockwise. A good rule of thumb is toleave the tone control between off (fully counter clockwise) and noonat longer delay times. This will remove all the common noise fromhyper-extending the circuit.

Time: Fromabout 30ms fully counter clockwise to about 625ms fully clockwise.

Repeats: Setsthe regeneration of the delay line. From one single repeat fullycounter clockwise, subtle repeats around 9 O’clock, strong naturallydecaying repeats at noon, near infinite repeats around 2 O’clock andfull on self oscillation fully clock- wise.
