Earthquaker Devices Limited Edition Brain Dead Ghost Echo Vintage-Voiced Reverb Pedal Earthquaker Devices

Earthquaker Devices has teamed up with Brain Dead—a creative collective of artists and designers from around the world, with a graphic-led approach that takes cues from post-punk, underground comics, and skateboarding—to bring its designs to the Ghost Echo vintage voiced reverb!

The Ghost Echo is a spooky take on the haunted* amp-top spring reverberation units of yesteryear. This analog/digital spring reverb emulation machine boasts a terrifying 30ms – 150ms of pre-delay, controllable via the Attack knob, for everything from a quick rockabilly slapback to viscous pools of ectoplasmic reverberations. When playing staccato, you’ll hear the tortured trails of the reverb, resulting in more of a slapback or echo sound. Legato playing will reveal a massive ambient “depth” that fattens up the sound.

The Dwell control sets the length and thickness of the decay, which is to say that it controls how long the note reflections sustain. At the maximum setting it will descend into an infinite loop of self-oscillation. The Depth sets the intensity of the reverb, which you probably know as the wet/dry mix.

Attack: Adjusts the length of the pre-delay, from 30ms at minimum to about 150ms at maximum. When the Dwell is set to self-oscillate, this will change the pitch of the oscillations.
Dwell: Adjusts the length of the decay. This will start to self oscillate around 3 O’clock, the pitch of the oscillations can be changed by turning the Attack control.
Depth: Mixes in the wet signal with the dry, unity is around noon and everything after is boosted.

Power 
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
