EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids V1 Stereo Flanging Device
EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids is a stereo flanging device offering eight distinct flange modes via a Mode switch: Classic, Through-Zero, Barber Pole Up, Barber Pole Down, Trigger Up, Trigger Down, Step, and Random, far exceeding the range of a typical single-voicing flanger. A variable mix control and true stereo outputs add further versatility, letting players dial in anything from subtle shimmer to extreme, jet-plane-style sweeps or rhythmic, stepped modulation. Reviewers note the depth of options can make the learning curve steeper than a basic flanger, but the payoff is significantly more tonal range than most flanger pedals offer.
