Pedals that stack with the EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter

Stack the Dirt Transmitter's low-noise gain with the Pitch Fork's own dry, whammy-style pitch shifting for a driven signal with real harmonic layering.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

Stack the Dirt Transmitter's low-noise gain with the WH-1's tracking octave whammy for a driven signal with real pitch layering.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

Put the XS-1 ahead of the Dirt Transmitter — octave tracking is cleanest off a dry signal, and the drive can push the blended output as hard as you want.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

Run the PTM's transparent, sustain-focused compression ahead of the Dirt Transmitter so its low-noise, stacking-friendly gain starts from an already-even signal.

gain stackingStacks two gain stages for more saturation than either produces alone. (mid-forward → fuzzy)

Put EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter in front and the mid-forward tone leans further toward fuzzy

Comes later in the signal chain

The Emperor's rotary, pitch-modulated chorus swirls on top of the Dirt Transmitter's driven signal rather than genuinely stacking with it.

Put EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter in front and the mid-forward tone leans further toward fuzzy

EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter's own fuzzy character is the real reason this is worth trying

Stack the Dirt Transmitter's low-noise gain with the XS 100's own subtle, whammy-style pitch shifting for a driven signal with real harmonic layering.

EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter leans this transparent tone toward fuzzy, which it doesn't make on its own

The Night Wire's harmonic, filtered tremolo pulse doesn't stack gain with the Dirt Transmitter — it just rides on top of the driven signal.

The Grand Orbiter's subtle, optical phase sweep doesn't stack gain with the Dirt Transmitter — it just colors the driven signal directly.

The Starlight's organic, experimental flange sweep sweeps through the Dirt Transmitter's driven signal rather than stacking gain with it.

Into a transparent tone, EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter brings a pull toward fuzzy that's missing

What EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter brings here leans toward fuzzy — that's worth building a pairing around

Comes later in the signal chain

EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter leans toward fuzzy, and that's a real, usable character to pair with
