EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run V2

EarthQuaker Devices · pedal

The EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run is a stereo delay and reverb multi tool with tap tempo, offering up to two seconds of delay alongside a lush reverb that can run together or independently. It includes reverse delay, tap subdivisions, a wide range Tone control that shifts repeats from tape emulation to bucket brigade character, switchable true or buffered bypass with five tail lengths including a sound on sound lo fi looping mode, and assignable expression control. From pristine delays and ambient reverb washes to self oscillating chaos and looping, it is hugely versatile. It suits ambient, post rock, experimental and mainstream players who want a flexible, great sounding stereo delay plus reverb workstation in one pedal.
