The Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run was developed with one goal in mind: to take the floating ambient tones of the Dispatch Master to the next level while still keeping it user friendly and refined. Taking you into the aural exploratorium without having to break open the user manual every time you want to open up your inner eye and get free is no easy task. Earthquaker are using a high-powered proprietary DSP platform to recreate all the characteristics of all their old favorite delay and reverb machines while still retaining a simple, yet flexible workspace.
The Avalanche Run is a dreamy sonic discovery device with up to 2 seconds of delay time and a lush stereo reverb. It features complete control over delay time, repeats, mix and voice (with the tone control), as well as control over the reverb length and mix. It can run in one of 3 different modes: Normal, Reverse and Swell. In โNormalโ mode, the Avalanche Run functions as a straightforward delay and reverb. In โReverseโ mode, the delay line is in reverse and the reverb remains in normal mode. In โSwellโ mode, the Avalanche Run reacts to your picking dynamics and adds a volume swell to the entire signal path much like manually raising and lowering the volume of your guitar.
The Avalanche Run features an expression jack that can be assigned to one of six different controls using the โEXPโ selector switch. It also features Tap Tempo with six different ratios accessed via the โRatioโ selector switch. The Avalanche Run can also be run in โTrue Bypassโ mode or โBuffered Bypassโ mode for trails and features 5 different tail lengths including โInfiniteโ for lo-fi and continuously degrading pseudo-looping.
Flexi-Switching
The Activate switch features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.
- For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.
- For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as youโd like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.
