EarthQuaker Devices' Jamie Stillman is a man who has an exceptional gear collection (just see the video at the bottom for evidence), quite aside from his design prowess that came from emerging himself in a history of sounds and thinking about what he could add and help evolve. But his approach to a new delay pedal is refreshing straightforward – leaning into being a classic and simple tool for players in any environment.
Stillman looked at his favourite delay units and sought to combine digital, analog and tape algorithms in one compact pedal, with six presets and tap-tempo maximising the usability for players. The designer himself has recorded the demo below to showcase the different modes and we appreciate just how straightforward the control layout is – no double-duty modes here folks.
