EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Space Spiral is a modulated delay pedal from Akron, Ohio boutique manufacturer EarthQuaker Devices, providing echo delay with built-in modulation in an elegantly simple control format. A single Rate knob controls the modulation speed while separate controls handle delay time, feedback, and mix. The modulated delay creates a chorus-like warble on the repeats for a vintage tape echo and psychedelic delay character. True bypass.
