Hey buddy! Welcome to your new Avalanche Run ™ Stereo Reverb and Delay with Tap Tempo! The Avalanche
Run was developed with one goal in mind: to take the floating ambient tones of our Dispatch Master to the
next level while still keeping it user friendly and refined. Taking you into the aural exploratorium without
having to break open the user manual every time you want to open up your inner eye and get free is no easy
task. We are using a high powered proprietary DSP platform to recreate all the characteristics of all our old
favorite delay and reverb machines while still retaining a simple, yet flexible workspace. It has been a long
time coming but well worth the wait! Enough bullshit, let’s talk about the damn pedal!
The Avalanche Run is a dreamy sonic discovery device with up to 2 seconds of delay time and a lush stereo
reverb. It features complete control over delay time, repeats, mix and voice (with the tone control), as well
as control over the reverb length and mix. It can run in one of 3 different modes: Normal, Reverse and Swell.
In Normal mode, the Avalanche Run functions as a straightforward delay and reverb. In Reverse mode, the
delay line is in reverse and the reverb remains in normal mode. In Swell mode, the Avalanche Run reacts
to your picking dynamics and adds a volume swell to the entire signal path much like manually raising and
lowering the volume of your guitar.
The Avalanche Run features an expression jack that can be assigned to one of six different controls using
the EXP selector switch. It also features Tap Tempo with six different ratios accessed via the Ratio selector
switch. The Avalanche Run can also be run in True Bypass mode or Buffered Bypass mode for tails and
features five different tail lengths including “Infinite” for lo-fi and continuously degrading pseudo-looping.
The Activate switch features our Flexi-Switch
™
Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style
allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.
The Tap switch also has a few other cool secondary functions. While in Normal and Swell mode, you can
send the Avalanche Run into self-oscillation by holding down the “Tap” foot switch. In Reverse, mode holding
down the Tap switch will flip the delay back into Normal mode and return to Reverse mode once released!
Controls
Top Row
Time- This controls the delay time and goes from 0ms to just under 2000ms.
Repeats- Controls the regeneration of the delay, from zero repeats to near infinite.
Tone- Controls the tone for the delay line only. Roll off highs to the left, roll off lows to the right and get a flat
response in the middle.
Mix- This is the volume control for the delay line. This blends in the wet with dry until 1 o’clock, 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock
boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 o’clock up brings down dry until it is fully wet when all the way up.
Bottom Row
Expression Jack Assign Switch- Use this switch to map the expression jack to one of the assigned controls.
• Decay- Controls the reverb decay length
• R Mix- Controls the reverb mix
• Time- This takes over for the delay time control and is DRASTICALLY different than the interface control.
Using the expression pedal to control the time will give you all kinds of wild effects that can not be
achieved by turning the knob.
• Repeats- Controls the delay repeats
• D Mix- Controls the delay mix
• Toggle- This takes over for the toggle switch and will cross fade from forward delay in heel down position
to reverse delay in toe down position.
Decay- Controls the decay length of the reverb. Short decay counterclockwise, long cavernous decay clockwise.
Mix- This is the volume control for the reverb. Blends in the wet with dry until 1 o’clock, 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock
boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 o’clock up brings down dry until it is fully wet when all the way up.
Ratio Selector Switch- Selects delay subdivisions when time is set by the “Tap” switch.
