Behold! The newest incarnation of one of our most beloved pedals ever, the Disaster Transport.
™
And don’t be confused, the name isn’t talking about that one Uber experience you had where the
driver reeked like a dumpster of diapers, missed all of the exits, and talked your ear off about his
ex-wife. We’re talking Disaster Transport OG – an analog-voiced digital delay that can teleport
your sound into the stratosphere.
We initially set out to recreate the original Disaster Transport pedal in its earliest form, but the
OG of EQD, Jamie Stillman, couldn’t resist tinkering and improving the whole thing, so you just
got upgraded, my friend. In doing so, we redesigned the delay line to reduce the noise floor and
improve the quality of the delay. We boosted the output with a cleaner mixing section; it’s now
filtered to sound more like an analog delay than any of the previous versions. This delay pedal sits
perfectly in the background with more of an evolved ambiance to it, but it can be dialed in for more
of a dramatic effect of your choosing.
For those of you well versed in the pedal’s celebrated history, you might notice some differences
on this beautifully sparkly box. We’ve added a Mod Mode switch that allows you to choose
between bending ( Bend ) and stretching ( Stretch ) the modulation wave. The Bend setting offers
a subtler vibe closer to a traditional chorus sound, while the new Stretch option gives you loads of
pitch-stretching modulation to run wild with.
The other difference you probably spotted with your eagle eye is the Mod Speed three-position
toggle switch that offers Slow ( S ), Fast ( F ), and Medium ( M ) settings. The Slow setting is
excruciatingly slow and can produce bizarrely animated gradual climbs and steep drop offs. The
Fast setting can go from a rapid chorus to an intense vibrato, while the Medium setting is the most
traditional rate similar to the classic Memory Man circuit with a nice range to it.
The newly designed enclosure features knobs to control the Speed , Intensity , Mix , Repeats , and
Time , with Modulate and Activate switches, making this a highly customizable pedal to get the
delay sound of your dreams. Thanks to the ramp modulation circuitry, you can turn the delay time
down and start to use feedback and modulation at a higher setting to harness a bizarre modulator
and achieve subtle to wild chorus-type effects. Or set your delay time how you want to set it and
use your modulation rates to set your tempo, so you can strum or pluck to the climbs and drop offs
to match your riffs. The possibilities are endless. So, without further delay, enjoy this del… Well,
err. We kinda painted ourselves into a corner there. Anyway, enjoy this pedal!
Each Disaster Transport is organically grown in the farmlands of Akron, Ohio, USA, using only the
finest soil and fertilizer until they are perfectly ripe for picking.
