Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run Delay/Reverb

Buy Now: goo.gl/atQapJ
Today, we're taking a ride with the Avalanche Run by EarthQuaker Devices. The Avalanche Run marks EarthQuaker's first entry into a high-powered DSP platform, giving players a supercharged delay and reverb hybrid. Virtually every parameter available in the world of spatial time-based effects is offered up and adjustable. A toggle switch in the center selects the mode of operation: Reverse, Normal or Swell. One the mode is selected, the sound can be fine-tuned with two mix knobs. The topmost Mix control adjusts the wet and dry balance of the delay signal, and the bottom Mix control adjusts the reverb level. The reverb algorithm is voiced to emulate classic plate reverb, the kind found on every classic rock record ever cut. The Avalanche Run truly excels in the control department, featuring a handful of tap tempo subdivisions and expression control, adjustable to almost every parameter. One extremely innovative feature of the EXP knob is the ability to control the toggle switch to seamlessly glide between the Normal and Reverse modes. The Avalanche Run also features true stereo ins and outs for signal routing junkies, as well as momentary oscillation blasts by holding the tap footswitch. And like all EarthQuaker Devices, the Avalanche Run is built atop a treacherous black diamond ski piste in Akron Ohio.

Whatever they're paying Andy to do these demos, it's not enough.

[@pacolopez9577]

Not enough by far...dat playin' tho

[@JackFou]

I swear, Andy could sell me practically any pedal.

[@michaelmarton5483]

No kidding...

[@siavashmassoudi]

Andy could sell me a potato with an in/output jack

[@ryanwilson5936]

I pretty sure he compensates by being Paul Rudd's stunt double.

[@Reverb]

Amazing demo as usual, Andy - thanks!

[@patrickcarroll1754]

Even Reverb is a fan!

[@tbenitezg]

haha reverb demos are good too. keep trying guys

Classic Coldplay... nice. Great tune to showcase this pedal's tones. Nicely done.

[@Kid_Convalescent]

You were the first to capture my attention with a Coldplay song in a long time!

[@coryfurlong5918]

Yeah man. Parachutes is fantastic.

[@roey6541]

the song is called 'Dont Panic' not parachutes..

I was trying to figure out what music he was playing.... hahahaha. Cant believe I actually liked a Coldplay song

[@karlkinney2116]

I was not completely sold on this pedal until I heard Andy demonstrate it. The Tele with The Avalanche Run is simply sublime!

[@Mahdcat]

That Coldplay song brings me back to the first time I fell in love. I was 19. Always a good trip with you Andy.

[@tylerhale3878]

I constantly find myself coming back to this video just to watch Andy play that intro. Love it!

[@MartinFuckYeah182]

The magnificent seven!!!! Andy's song choices are always really on top :)

[@dunebillydave222]

Andy is the man! Somehow, when other reviewers fiddle around aimlessly or yammer on about some anecdotal happenstance, Andy gets right to the point and concisely identifies the core features. And these demos are about how to really use these exotic pedals in a truly musical context, not just, "Oooo, look what noises this weird device can make." Andy rules!

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Thanks Dave, those are points I always strive for. I appreciate it! -Andy

[@dunebillydave222]

Agree Dave. Why don't you 2 move in together.....it's gittin' hot in here

[@ShazerThe]

Loved Don't Panic in the beginning! You're the best, Andy.

[@MsAppassionata]

Your pedal demos are always very tastefully done. Thank you.

[@SynthoidSounds]

As always, excellent demo. Any time I'm considering yet another effects pedal, your demos are the first I look for.

[@Deriviado]

like how you put us straight into a song from the start, instant inspiration :D

[@aaronabubo]

I love the Goofy scream after the "ski piste" bit. :D

[@agathalake]

this guy is AMAzING. thanks for your hard work, man. i am subscribed. i am SO glad to have found you.

[@chuwy2k]

Excellent demo, amazing play! The song at the beginning is so appropriate. Thanks for share this video.

[@nickbuchwald1332]

First pedal to get me really excited in awhile. Super dope. Love it.

[@Brayden329]

What a cool use of the pedal! Thanks again, Andy.

[@dennyvandermeulen]

great demo andy! awesome pedal too, perhaps the best reverb/delay pedal i've ever heard/seen...

[@paniccleo]

Great rendition of Don't Panic. :) this pedal is ridiculously cool.

[@rq2757]

EQD is on fire lately with these combo pedals. Grey Channel, Spires, Avalanche Run.

[@jlore6344]

The Clash in there was awesome! Nice choice! This pedal sounds really fun top. Great demo!

[@luisgoregonzalez7394]

Love The Intro! Coldplay!

[@marshwitch9610]

I just got one and and this demo makes it sound great in actual songs, not just knobbing around. Thanks!

[@scotvanrice2988]

Man, Paul Rudd really knows how to sell a pedal. Also, Don't Panic is the only song I've ever liked by Coldplay.

[@saucybaka4439]

Man that joke is so original I've never heard it before. Also need to listen to more coldplay

[@3star2nr]

Listen to trouble from the same album

[@3star2nr]

And high speed

[@TheBlueskyson]

I could listen to this fella on a balmy beach evening for hours. ty 4 vid

[@danboylan2449]

Beautiful work I just had to go out and buy one of these after I heard this!

[@cry2love]

Andy, I love your reviews & playing style

[@betterdays259]

Man, The intro is Superb. Loved the sound, I wish I have the money to purchase this one or the GFI Specular Tempus 🤣.

[@HairyScaryMark]

I just discovered the existance of this pedal. I already have a Dispatch Master, which is one of my favourite pedals and certainly my favourite reverb or delay pedal. I now have GAS for an Avalanche Run and can see it being ideal on the larger of my two pedal boards (with the Dispatch Master on the small one).

[@larsvankoningsveld6179]

Oh my god dude that intro demo, lovely surprise!

[@dohertyjamesp]

Magnificent Seven! Nicely done.

[@MrUltraworld]

There are so many great tones in that pedal.

[@bicisnobombas]

Holy cow! With that jam at 3:10 I'm sold! It's like having a dub DJ mixing the guitar in real time. Beautiful!

That was a nifty (and AWESOME) Coldplay cover at the beginning.

[@Gutenmorgenside]

Beautifully played cover. Showing off the Tele and pedal to its full effect.

Definitely need more than one video Andy

[@siavashmassoudi]

This is one of the most beautiful looking and sounding pedals I've ever seen, wish I could afford one / find one for cheap 😩

One day, I hope to be as cool as Andy. Is there any song he can't absolutely nail? I love this pedal so much! I'll have to wait for it second hand, or if it ever goes on sale, cause it's a bit out of my budget. Beautiful sounds & so many options for sound. Thank you guys! I never buy a pedal without checking your demos first.

UUGGHHHHHH That intro jam is just incredible. I will throw money at you Andy to release a full length song just like that

[@MaDMaRk4Life]

that would be a coldplay song called don't panic

[@scottpeacher7495]

+BassNBeards that intro jam is a Coldplay song called Don't Panic.

I’m a sucker for a good guitar effects pedal demo, but that riffing on the Short Volume Swell setting(s) at the end was amazing and had me grinning!

Hello, thanks for this awesome demo, i have a question, i can see that you have an exp pedal plugged in the left input, but i can also see that you have 3 more jack cables plugged in. can you tell me how is this set up??? which one comes from your guitar and which one goes to your amp???? thanks again and sorry about my english...

Andy, what song is it you play from 6:35 on? Thanks and amazing demo as always!
