The Most Dynamic Fuzz Pedal Ever? | EarthQuaker Dirt Transmitter Rancho De La Luna

Описание: The Dirt Transmitter is back—reissued in collaboration with Dave Catching of Rancho De La Luna and EarthQuaker Devices. Originally released in 2007, this updated version features custom-selected silicon transistors, a compact enclosure, new artwork by Mike Egan, and the same gritty, dynamic tone that made it a cult favorite.

In this video, we cover:

A brief history of the original Dirt Transmitter and how this version came to life

The role of the bias control, which lets you starve the transistors for gated, sputtering fuzz

Tone shaping via a tilt-style EQ, preserving mids while dialing in brightness or warmth

The Dirt Transmitter’s surprising dynamic response—perfect for players who work their volume knob

How it sounds when paired with ambient reverb like the EarthQuaker Afterneath

Whether you're chasing classic fuzz face tones, shoegaze textures, or velcro-style chaos, this reissue delivers. It cleans up beautifully with your hands, but can also go full-on scorched earth.

🎸 Gear used: Fender Telecaster with Duncan Antiquity pickups into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe w/ Jensen Alnico 12 inch speaker
