Hey there, pedal pal! You know how you’re always getting nagged to clean up everything? Clean your house, clean your car, clean up your attitude, clean the dishes, clean up your diet…it goes on and on. Well, we’re here to put an end to that. That’s right, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get dirty. We’re talking mud under your nails, grimy shirt stains, carpets-damaged-beyond-repair dirty. And what’s the reason for this filthy proclamation, you ask? Here it is: EQD has brought back the legendary Dirt Transmitter™ Fuzz Driver!
That’s right! Originally created as the second in a very long line of EarthQuaker Devices fuzz pedals, this early circuit went on to become regarded as one of creator Jamie Stillman’s best and most interesting fuzz creations. Used for years by your favorite musicians and a cult following of Dirt Transmitter™ fanatics, this effect has been out of EQD’s lineup for some time…until now! Laid out simply with four knobs: Level, Fuzz, Tone, and Bias, this thing is easy to use, and you’d be hard pressed to find a setting that doesn’t totally rip. So put away that hand sanitizer and dig into this gloriously dirty tone.
The secret sauce, or magic jus, if you will, of this pedal lies in its rare silicon transistors that offer a gritty top end response and more gain than typical germanium transistors. This enables a biting edge with a rounder tone that doesn’t go overboard with high end distortion. You can dial it in to be gain-heavy and leave it on as your permanent tone for a killer sonic vibe. It can also give you a wider range that goes from overdrive to fuzz without being too loose. That’s the power of silicon right there.
When it comes to dialing in this mighty fuzz-breathing driver, the Bias knob is dirt central station. This control effectively starves the transistors of electrical current, which alters the gated characteristics of its sound, giving you everything from Velcro fuzz flavors to analog synth undertones. With the Bias control dialed all the way up, the transistors are properly biased, and as you back it down it gets into a more slathery, gated fuzz tone.
The tone control alters the high-frequency range and overall harmonic contour, which you can tweak in any number of ways. Roll it on for bright, cutting tones great for solos and lead riffs. Roll it back and enjoy the rich sustain and high-frequency roll-off. And bass players, we know you like to get plenty grimy too, you glorious low-end dwelling dirty birds. Well, this pedal is the perfect addition to your arsenal, as you can use it to do anything from gritting up your clean tone to adding some murky, low fuzz to the mix to going full hog-wild by cranking it to oblivion.
So don’t bring that clean business around here anymore! We’re in dirt territory now. And thanks to you and your magnificent new acquisition, the population just grew by one. Now let’s get dirty!
Each Dirt Transmitter™ Fuzz Driver is handcrafted in Akron, Ohio, USA and is then transmitted through the earth right to your pedalboard.
