EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport SR Advanced Modulated Delay & Reverb Machine

[@softlightsymphonyband]

Having played this pedal for close to two years now I feel it is the best "ambient" tool on the market. It really is "Cocteau Twins in a box". I'd even go so far as to say it is my favorite pedal released in the past 10 years and that's saying a lot with all the Strymons and Eventides out there...

Nice comment. There’s something really magical about this sound. The way the mod on 1 delay and reverb on the other create otherworldly soundscapes is incredible.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

It seems a little noisy in this demo. Is it really that noisy?

[@Clutch3672]

This is still my favorite delay. It is very inspiring

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Thank you!

[@VioletDeliriums]

Wow! I like this reverb & delay all in one with the A & B switches!!! This is a nice ambient pedal!

[@christofyre]

I just got this today, and it’s amazing! I don’t know if it’s possible to own too many pedals, but everyone should make room for this one.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

thanks!

[@linooviedo1323]

Cant wait till i buy this pedal, the avalanche run and the sea machine

[@UmphreysMcDead]

Such a versatile pedal in every way. From a basic digital delay, to a monstrous modulation machine, to modulated reverb and everything in-between. This pedal could tackle so many variations of top notch desirable sounds either separately or simultaneously. For the price, you can achieve top of the line delay, modulation, and reverb. The minute I have enough money for this, I'm ditching my Boss DS-3 (not a bad pedal by any means), but this thing is so much more clean, versatile, and natural

[@defyvoxpopuli]

this is a beautiful pedal. can't wait for it to hit the market. you guys are really stealing my heart with stuff like the rainbow machine and this. now, i just need to save up the dough. keep it up. you've got that perfect balance of crazy, "out there," unique effects and still maintain usability.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

The switches for both delays switch the inputs only. The outputs are always connected. This allows you to have trails by always leaving the bypass switch engaged or to use the bypass switch as the master on/off for true bypass. Additionally, you can feed delay A in to delay B with the bleed control without having delay B switched on for a cleaner rhythmic delay.

[@guitarmatt29]

I was thinking the same, it's sounds a lot like this will destroy you, they move on tracks of never ending light. Love that song!

[@kasperbond7510]

This Will Destroy You is the best of its kind... simply amazing Check out the most underrated band in Denmark, called My Beloved.... its a little darker than TWDY, but they are amazing too... I think you can find it on youtube

[@JeredtheShy]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Andy from ProGuitarShops hasn't demoed this yet because he's locked himself in a room with it and won't come out.

[@UnknownHumanoid]

:))

[@AndyAcker]

He's too much of an 0-3-5 blues player to even fathom its sonic possibilities.

[@teriakamoto]

@@AndyAcker Is that a fact. You're Joking right ? Oh hahahahaha I get it now. You 're joking.

[@xGRASCOREx]

Sounds gorgeous, so mellow... lovely atmospheric effect. GAS'ing big time!

[@xtimehascomex]

Thats one hell of an ambient post rock modulating delay machine. Great job Jamie!

[@SuperEffCee]

That thing sounds amazing! I've had several new echoes on my radar lately, but that one just shot to the top of the list! Great work, EQD. I guess that's why I have more of your pedals than anyone else's.

[@quintonrouse542]

I'm so glad I found you guys. I'm ganna have to start adding your pedals to my board

[@krowland7584]

Ill get this for my bday

[@mazanylisak01]

most beautifl delay i ve ever heard. im pulling my hair now for buying the line 6 DL4 two weeks ago

[@eph_kni]

keep your hair in! the dl4 is one of my favorite loop pedals (save that it is a terrible delay). Check out Nick Reinhart from tera melos and how he uses the DL4. Other name worth bands that used the pedal during its high point are the Fall of Troy, Explosions in the Sky, and Minus the Bear. Fun fact: the guitarist to Minus the Bear has 4 DL4's on his pedal board, all set as loopers ( he was also in the band Botch )

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Totally different than the Dispatch Master. Both are delays with reverb, but that is where the similarities end.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

It's out now, thanks!

[@andrewrrichards]

Wanna match this with the hoof reaper and make some black metal shoegaze

[@tpedroso]

Man, I might have to buy my first delay...

[@ShavyRegistros]

Amazing delay machine, i love that sounds.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

In stores now!

[@aleczugcic1240]

Is this named after the old ride at Cedar Point ? 🙃

[@bpxo.creations]

Yes. Also the avalanche run

[@6255jer]

100 x better then the original. I just bought a echo dream 2. I should have waited.

[@andrewmasterman2034]

Man I’ve been sleeping on this pedal

[@julianhyde1645]

Yo! Where TF did the old demo of the disaster transport jr. Go? It was one of my favorite pedal demos of all time and I’m trying to show somebody because it really shows off the oscillation.

[@LauraSquirrel]

This would be cool with my Avalanche Run.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

True that!

[@LauraSquirrel]

Got this and an Afterneath yesterday. Didn't have much time to do too much more than testing them out of the box and sort them out with my other Earthquakers. After lunch, it will be time to fire up this crazy set up and see what can REALLY be done with it all.

[@teriakamoto]

I love EQD Pedals. I came quite late in the game to the Synthy/LFO/Boutique/ Psychedelic pedals after playing off and on for 40 years.lol. Yes, I'm that old. I like Rock/Punk/a little modern Metal/Djent whatever. Can't believe I used the word Djent.Oh well, thats what they call it and I dig it MAN. OK, so EQD, do you have a pedal that is a lot like this ( Disaster Transport SR )but an actual Reverb w/ delay traits ? Kind of like the Yin to this ones Yang. That sounded kind of weird. hmmmm. You know what I mean. Right ? Also, Does this pedal or will this pedal sound good or like a shit through a heavy Amp like a Laboga Mr.Hector,5150, or a ENGL Powerball ? Is the NUX Atlantic a good pedal for it's price ? for any price ? for Metal or heavy Rock ? Whatever it's called this year ? Happy Trails-

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

This pedal does sound great in the fx loops of high gain amps such as the ones you listed. If you add a reverb to this pedal, you probably would have exactly what you are looking for. We have a reverb/delay pedal but there is no modulation like in Disaster Transport SR. Here is the link: www.earthquakerdevices.com/avalanche-run

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

...and I can't believe you used the word Djent either, but I'm glad you did. Happy Monday! Take care

[@teriakamoto]

@@EarthQuakerDevices OH, Wow ! Thank You so much for replying you sexy freaks(huh?)!!!! I will pull the trigger then. So just run a reverb into this bad boy and i'll be dancing with myself ohhhhhhhhhhh.Still in production ?

[@teriakamoto]

@@EarthQuakerDevices Happy Monday, well Tuesday actually now says the Vampire. Thanks Again !!!!

[@carlospg4665]

Genial !!! Amazing !!! ill buy it ....

[@ElevationBoutiques]

Fantastic!

[@AvonJunkies]

That is awesome

[@Ramiroocampo]

Where can I hear the reverb alone? And can I use this pedal as reverb AND delay pedal?

[@ETtexthome]

Looks like there are a few seconds of just reverb at 5:06 - 5:18

[@AndyAcker]

HATE the overly loud intro and outro. LOVE the pedal demo.

[@Raiyne123]

Also really itching to hear how it sounds with both self-oscillating.

[@9520575]

I had to watch an ad before i could watch the ad for the pedal. Ha

[@bleufishtv]

I think I found my delay pedal. Hurry up Thursday so I can have some cash

[@adamellison5696]

which is better this or the avalanche run?

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

they both rule! if you're into darker, modulated tape-like delays, I'd go disaster transport sr. if you like brighter delays and need tap tempo & stereo I/O, then the avalanche run is the way to go!

[@guitargeekforjesus]

What does the bypass switch do? Just seems kind of pointless when you can turn on both sides with their own switches.

[@AlcolmX]

Does the Disaster Transport Sr. handle instrument and line levels?

[@eyesontheeye]

do this incredible machine comes with its power adaptor? or i have to buy separately (im buying it from ur site)

[@carlosloor88]

just add a tap tempo and it's a true must

[@samuelpeinado1267]

Carlos Loor I wish they’d have made a version with tap tempo when they released the Avalanche Run. I’d pay an extra $50-$100 for tap tempo and/external master synch.

[@powerkor]

it's some kind of sleep aid I guess

[@guitargeekforjesus]

@Claudio Zenobi that would be a very unwise move. Sell something else. Always keep strymon.

[@primetimepyramidscheme69]

Does is self oscillate?

[@Raiyne123]

Amazing. When will these be available?

[@DramatisPersonaXIII]

It's time to sell my Strymon shit for this pedal.

[@affansetiawan7576]

this or space spiral? which one is better? what's the difference? aahhh please help!

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Good question! If you're looking for intricate multi-tap delays or to stack multiple delays at once with expression control, then the Disaster Transport SR is the way to go. If you just want a simple short-to-medium modulated analog delay, then you'd probably prefer the Space Spiral.

[@affansetiawan7576]

EarthQuakerDevices woah thanks! I need them both hahaha

[@samuelpeinado1267]

Tap tempo (external or otherwise)? External synch?

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

No tap tempo. Sorry! There is, however, expression control over Delay A's repeats, and for the Bleed control, which feeds Delay A into Delay B in series, and if used in conjunction with the footswitches for Delay A and Delay B, allows for series/parallel delay routing. Thanks!

[@JinxedPanda]

what's being played at the beginning?

[@lelkek422]

I think it's supposed to sound almost exactly like "They Move On Tracks Of Never-Ending Light" by This Will Destroy You, but it isn't exactly the same. It's really goddamn close. Maybe there are legal problems with playing the songs exactly. I'm not sure. All I know is that it's a great song to play when demoing a cool delay like this.

[@dedoza7941]

More

[@johnwatson2820]

Why is this considered "lo-fi" I don't really here any sampling loss or anything like that in these delay effects

[@thearabianmage]

I think it's because the echoes aren't perfect copies, which is a characteristic of analog delays. I take it this is a digital delay that's trying to appeal to analog purists.

[@thearabianmage]

+Joe Mofo it's a cool pedal, though

[@danielmb93]

Is this an analog delay or digital?

[@stephenporter8280]

Analog-voiced digital delay.

[@BatailleGeorges21]

Quiero 10

[@kpayne766]

You guys inhale, right...? Yes. Of course you do.

[@GearsyGGAA]

and another $200 gone........

[@jbonesmusicland]

I will never sell mine

[@kernelspy]

Sounds like an instant Christian Worship Delay! waaaaant!!!!!! 😂😃☺😊

[@JDL0111]

+kernelspy agreed

[@UnlikelyLDS]

Id get this one but its expensive (play worship as well) I think i'll get the jr version which in my opinion is just as good

[@versnellingspookie]

this is exactly what i thought!
