EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run v2 Stereo Reverb & Delay

New for NAMM 2018: the Avalanche Run gets a facelift including an updated reverb algorithm for enhanced stereo imaging, new custom-built enclosure, Flexi-Switch switching for standard latching or momentary operation!
The Avalanche Run is a dreamy stereo sonic exploratory multi-tool that includes up to 2 seconds of delay time, reverse delay, tap tempo with subdivision control, switchable true bypass or buffered bypass with 5 different tail lengths (including a sound-on-sound style lo-fi looping mode) and an assignable expression control that maps the expression jack to a control of your choice, including the toggle! The delay section allows tweaking from tape emulation to bucket brigade styles with a twist of the wide-range Tone control. The cavernous, plate-style reverb has just a touch of modulation similar to the one found in our precious Dispatch Master only more lush with an adjustable Decay. Otherworldly reverse delay and dynamic swelling reverb settings are accessible through a 3-way toggle switch. And that’s just the beginning...
Time: This controls the delay time and goes from 0ms to just under 2000ms.
Repeats: Controls the regeneration of the delay, from zero repeats to near infinite.
Tone: Controls the tone for the delay line only. Roll off highs to the left, roll off lows to the right and get a flat response in the middle.
Mix: The is the volume control for the delay line. This blends in the wet with dry until 1 o’clock, 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 o’clock up brings down dry until it is fully wet when all the way up.
Expression Jack Assign Switch: Use this switch to map the expression jack to one of the assigned controls.
Decay: Controls the reverb decay length
R Mix: Controls the reverb mix
Time: This takes over for the delay time control and is DRASTICALLY different than the interface control. Using the expression pedal to control the time will give you all kinds of wild effects that can not be achieved by turning the knob.
Repeats: Controls the delay repeats
D Mix: Controls the delay mix
Toggle: This takes over for the toggle switch and will cross fade from forward delay in heel down position to reverse delay in toe down position.
Ratio Selector Switch: Selects delay subdivisions when time is set by the “Tap” switch.
1/1: Quarter Note
3/4: Dotted 8th
2/3: Quarter Note Triplet
1/2: 8th Note
1/3: 8th Note Triplet
1/4: 16th Note
Decay: Controls the decay length of the reverb, short decay counterclockwise, long cavernous decay clockwise.
Toggle Switch (Mode Selector)
Normal: This is the “standard” delay and reverb mode
Reverse: This is reverse delay mode with “standard” reverb
Swell: This is the volume swell mode
Mix: This is the volume control for the reverb. Blends in the wet with dry until 1 O’clock, 1 O’clock to 3 O’clock boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 O’clock up brings down dry until it is fully wet when all the way up.

I remember I used an avalanche run in a guitar store when I was learning how delay pedals work. I had it in reverse and for some reason I thought turning the feedback all the way up and the time to it's fastest wouldn't create a feedback loop. It made a feedback loop so loud I tasted copper in my mouth.

[@bennyflexofficial9325]

i feel like EarthQuaker Devices is a very dangerous pit and my wallet is standing on the edge of it...

I ordered myself one today, ill be greeting you on the otherside when you give in 🤣😂😆

Im about to spend 600 on weds for 3 eqd pedals. And thats used prices. God help me

[@akinted]

Welp, I have also found myself in this pit. Since I’m new, anyone able to get out yet lol?

[@thisguy2973]

I’ve had this pedal for a while, but it just got an expression pedal for it and man…….that’s the real way to use this pedal. I had no idea that it changed the behavior for playing with things like the time in reverse or swell mode. It’s amazing!

[@samiam9059]

Use with stereo returns on stereo amp. Really engulfs the room in a three dimensional way. End up playing a lot better and more creative. Pristine fidelity :)

[@jedediahhoffman7925]

I can't help but fall in love with most everything these guys do. Wonderful effects, made right here in the u.s I do believe. Can't beat that.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Made in Akron Ohio and all of our pedals have a lifetime warranty. Thanks for the interest in what we are doing! earthquakerdevices.com/warranty

Own this pedal with the special "Yeti" graphics on it. It is a beautiful to see and hear. It is silent and the sounds are stunning. Picked it up at Guitar Center. Surprised to see it there- glad I bought it

I love the cedar point references in your product line. I’m not sure many people understand where these names come from or the extra layer of awesome it adds.

Oh man, it sounds amazing with the Spatial Delivery and Organizer at the end there.

[@hiqwertyhi]

that bit with the organizer and spatial delivery though

building a board for shoegaze comprising of both eqd and walrus stuff, this and afterneath and a bunch of others are on my radar. Love you guys with all of my tone-wizard heart and soul

[@alienboy2783]

Me too. Im might get this one and i just got a 'Rever' pedal from old blood noise. Also picked up a looper pedal. There is so many epic pedals to choose from now its insane.

[@LauraSquirrel]

Considering that I already own a Spatial Delivery and an Organizer, that last bit was VERY cool. I can't wait to get my Avalanche Run!

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

awesome. thanks for watching! i hope you enjoy your Avalanche Run!

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

I have both this and a strymon blue sky and i never use my Strymon anymore. This is just 100X more versatile and fun. Granted it is more expensive.

[@rapidenamel8522]

The BlueSky is a dedicated reverb pedal. This is a delay pedal with reverb. Both are $299.

[@stephen9944]

Seems fitting since I just bought a V1 two weeks ago.....

[@Clutch3672]

I loved the dispatch master. After watching this I had to get the avalanche run. This pedal is amazing and I love the tap tempo . Thank you for an awesome pedal

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

thanks for trying it!

[@dustinarnold79]

How does this compare to the dispatch master?

Love this pedal, guys! Keep up the good work.

thanks! glad you like it!

[@Jason75913]

I just picked one of these up, this pedal sounds really great overall, but I wish there were more tweakable parameters. Great job!

[@masonianbund]

You somehow managed to cram the sound of stars flying through space into a pedal. How u do that?????????

So thats what the spatial delivery does...epic

Dear EQD YOU ARE GENIUS! GREAT PEOPLE! I would to ask at you an amletic doubt: I NEED an end of chain reverb and I LOVE either this MARVEL and the NEW ASTRAL DESTINY... I want to help USA for the pandemic. YOU what me suggest for an ASTRAL end of chain reverb? Sorry from my bad english. GRAZIE for ALL that YOU MAKE TOGHETER for ALL THE MUSIC. DANiELE :)

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I like the sound and features of this pedal, however, when I "activate" mine, I get a very noticeable "boost" in the signal, which often clips my recording input. Anyone else have this problem?

[@shaps6]

Also, are the footswitches pressure sensitive now, or do they just ramp up at a standard rate when using them for a momentary effect?

[@rafaelcallejas9891]

And I juuust got a new avalanche run a few months ago

[@reinhardtswanepoel3468]

Nothing in the world I want more than this pedal, but with shipping to my country this pedal is the equivalent of $1000 here. Can't do that.

[@sprungingforvoltage]

mine arrives today! along with Pyramids 😃😃😃

[@jmas9828]

Sheer beauty! It looks like you squished it down. Sounds great though!

[@VictorTorres-py2xp]

Im debating on getting rid of my bigsky for this.. Am i crazy? Something about this reverb..

[@Slappaccino]

yeah that's pretty crazy. i love eqd but the big sky is unmatched.

[@robertmailloux3720]

Matched by Source Audio Ventris.

[@Calle565]

Strymon is soo overrated. Had 5 overall (BigSky, Volante, El Cap, Sunset and Flint) and got rid of all of em.

[@TheGreenKingdom]

Late reply, but I literally just did! Got rid of the timeline too. I had a v1 Avalanche Run that I sold a few years back and just got the v2. Granted, I did also pick up a Walrus Sloer for the huge, pad-like stereo reverbs. Simplifying is good!

[@dustinarnold79]

At the core I'm a blues guy with a bunch of strats can I use this I loved th÷ dispatch master

[@orange-rv9ek]

I love the Pyramids so I feel like I gotta get the sister pedal.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

its a great pairing!

[@Cguy7]

This version looks a bit bigger than the previous one, no?

[@alexbreyer6921]

I think it does.

[@alexbreyer6921]

Is this version actually stereo, rather than just dual mono like V1?

[@christopherthomasrichardso9014]

Alex Breyer yes

[@NoCoverCharge]

That's what I was wondering

[@melleverie]

how are the 3 pedals at the end routed? Avalanche run first or second? each is on a different channel right?

[@christopherrusch]

Olympic Airways?

[@egogreen2045]

Just found this one. It looked like using hands are more then feet, n not cheap too. Do u make in app? or ...

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Not sure what you are asking, sorry.

[@egogreen2045]

EarthQuakerDevices is okay, sorry i am newbie. Is Bias fx app or others app for ipad can make sound similar like this pedal?

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

possibly?

[@egogreen2045]

@@EarthQuakerDevices why not, but not sure when.

[@bulb274]

Is the Avalanche Run black limited edition similar to the v1 or v2?

[@nicklarson2640]

I'm not sure I see a huge improvement over the V1. A couple minor changes, but there's nothing that really feels like an upgrade for me

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Hey Nick, Avalanche Run v2 has an updated proprietary delay/reverb algorithm with improved stereo imaging and Flexi-Switch Switching, which allows the pedal to be used as a momentary effect by holding down the switch for as long as you want to hear the effect.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

more info and updated audio examples here: www.earthquakerdevices.com/avalanche-run

[@devinanderson1792]

How are you getting the pedal to do pulsating tempos? And why isn't the activate light on? And how is there only a slap back delay when the repeat knob is around 60??%

[@vurttv6415]

Expression pedal control?

[@abcdefgjklmnopqrsuvw]

I think that's a camera framerate thing.

[@tompoynton]

so that’s why it suddenly dropped in price

[@intrsoul]

The original V1 has dropped ~$50, this is the V2.

[@tompoynton]

intrsoul that’s what I meant

[@Javier-qk7ms]

Ping pong delay?

[@knifedawg]

does v2 fix the need for the adapter for mono in/stereo out?

[@revenant235]

Yeah!

[@moonglimmers]

I have V1 and will have V2.

[@Kerogas_]

No exp input :-(((

[@fatthor2476]

how does it sound mono

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

really great actually

[@davidkeller9345]

can the expression pedal be used as a tap tempo input at all?

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

No, but you can use CV to control the chosen assigned parameter for the expression jack. Check out our knowledge base for details eqd.my.site.com/url/s/

[@flynn_22]

So what’s different to the first avalanche

[@alexbreyer6921]

Just based on watching the video, it looks like the footswitches can move easily between latching and momentary functions. Pretty sweet.

[@mr.rosales411]

Flynn Hanbury Tenison unless you play with a stereo setup, you wont hear any sonic differences. but i would say the v2 sounds warmer and i wouldnt discount the other functional upgrades too
