Earthquaker Devices Introduces the Pyramids Stereo Flanger Pedal
Earthquaker Devices has launched a new pedal called Pyramids. Built around the same DSP architecture as their Avalanche Run, the new stompbox is a stereo flanger with tons of features packed in.
“Pyramids [features] five user-definable presets (a first for any EarthQuaker Devices pedal!), eight flanger modes, tap tempo, tap subdivision via the Rate & Tap mini-toggle, a multifunction Modify control, positive and negative feedback, and a variable Mix control, which is something you don’t see on a flanger every day,” Earthquaker writes.
The flanger modes include Classic, Through-Zero, Barber Pole Up, Barber Pole Down, Trigger Up, Trigger Down, Step, and Random. The sounds can be tweaked with Manual, Rate, Width, Feedback, and Modify controls. It also has an expression input and side chain flanging for more possibilities.
Check out the review/demo from PedalsandEffects.com, where Juan Alderete tries it out on his fretless starting around the 8:45 mark:
The Earthquaker Devices Pyramids is available now for $299.
