EarthQuaker Devices brought back their old Dirt Transmitter fuzz pedal after 16 years. The company teamed up with Dave Catching from Rancho de la Luna studios for this special release. Jamie Stillman founded EQD and played at the famous desert studio's 30th anniversary celebration. He brought his vintage Dirt Transmitter pedal and everyone loved the sound. The team decided to remake the classic effect with new artwork honoring the recording studio.
Mark Egan created fresh graphics for the pedal case near EQD headquarters. The original Dirt Transmitter came out during January 2008 with three simple controls. Stillman added a Bias knob later that creates sputtering gated sounds when turned down. Musicians can dial up classic Fuzz Face tones or create weird dying battery effects. Special transistors give the pedal warm germanium qualities mixed with silicon crunch.
Players keep the Bias control at maximum for full open fuzz sounds. Turning the knob counterclockwise chokes voltage and creates strange velcro textures. The pedal uses Flexi-Switch technology for momentary or latching operation modes. EarthQuaker makes all their effects in America and prices this model at 189 pounds or 179 dollars. The Rancho de la Luna Dirt Transmitter works perfectly with standard 9-volt power supplies.
