EarthQuaker Devices Rancho de la Luna Dirt Transmitter™

With only three controls, this deceptively powerful pedal offers you everything from light overdrive to full on distortion with clarity and blissful grinding. A Tone On/Off switch allows you remove the Tone control from the circuit, opening up a whole new world of midrange grind. Switch it off for a simplified and straightforward attack or leave it on for a full-bodied distortion with loads of low-end with a slight natural scoop. Roll up the Sustain for wall-shaking bass notes or sustaining lead and adjust the Tone for a wild and wide frequency response from aggressive top end to low-end rumble.

• Flexi-Switch® Technology
  
  This device 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 you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.
  
  Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.
  

Fuzz: Clockwise for heavier tones, counterclockwise for lighter tones.

Tone: Clockwise for a brighter, more cutting tone, counterclockwise to roll off top end for more mellow tones.

Bias: This is the heart of the Dirt Transmitter, where all of its voices can be found. It affects the voltage to the transistors which will create more gated Velcro® fuzz tones counterclockwise and thicker, natural fuzz tones clockwise. It is “properly biased” at 5 o’clock.

Level: Clockwise for more, counterclockwise for less.
