Get beautiful bass chorus tones out of the Pyramids flanger while keeping the low-end solid using the mix knob. Paired with some reverb and delay from the Dispatch Master and we get a beautiful almost haunting texture that works great with arpeggiated bass chords. 👻 Performance by @coreyharen of @gtntband

The Warden works great for smoothing out all of those tappy riffs while adding body and sparkle to your tone. Combined with a subtle setting on the Ghost Echo with the attack backed off, you are left with a beautiful backdrop of modulated verb that offers incredible clarity to all those taps.

Takeshi of Boris plays the Hizumitas through SUNN Model T stacks. Doing triple duty in Boris as the singer, bassist and guitarist, no one knows more about Wata's tone than Takeshi. He's been absorbing Wata's ELK Big Muff sound since the early days of the band. Here he recreates the Boris stage setup to show how the Hizumitas pairs with his rig. Turn on the closed captions, turn up the volume, and watch the whole video (plus other exclusive content) available only on our Japanese YouTube channel. [link in bio]

@ito_shinichi gets wavy with the Aqueduct, Night Wire, and Avalanche Run! The Aqueduct vintage-inspired vibrato gives some wonderful pitch wobble on the sine wave setting with a fast rate. Night Wire is a versatile harmonic tremolo; here the rate and frequency toggles are set to manual, adding a nice pulsing tremolo. The Avalanche Run stereo delay & reverb adds a touch of plate style reverb and then fades out on a hypnotic reverse delay. If you buy an Aqueduct, Night Wire, Arpanoid, Organizer or Rainbow Machine by the end of September, you'll get a FREE limited edition EQD shirt too. Link in bio for full details and rebate form.

It's time for another episode of This Old Bench! For this look into the EQD Wayback Machine, our host Justin welcomes back EQD founder @jamiestillman for a dive into the outside and inside of the barely produced Royal Drive. There are fewer than 10 of these pedals in the world, and it's one that Jamie recalls fondly. Enjoy Justin and Jamie as they talk about its unique paint job and the pedal's unusual internal dipswitch allowing users to dial in various clipping diodes for a signature overdrive sound. Also, Jamie jams a bit on a Jazzmaster! Enjoy.

The Palisades is something we said we would never do… an overdrive based on the legendary TS808! After loads of requests, we finally buckled. We ran tests with every popular clone on the market as well as several vintage originals, compared, contrasted and took loads of notes. It was exhausting but informative. In the end, we threw it all away, used our ears and came up with what we feel is the most versatile relative of the 808 available today. With 6 different clipping voices, 5 bandwidth settings and 2 gain channels, you will be hard-pressed to not find a setting that will wipe every mid-boosting overdrive off your board. The Palisades is a versatile dude that will give you years of loving companionship. Boost: Sets the level of the output boost. Gain A: Sets the gain for the Channel A (lower gain) Volume: Sets the output level. Gain B: Sets the gain for Channel B (higher gain) Tone: Brighter clockwise, warmer counterclockwise. Rotary Switches Voice: This sets the nature of the Palisades distortion by changing the clipping diodes. No diodes: The most open and least distorted. LED clipping: Light clipping with a lot of volume. Mosfet clipping: Light gain OD with great harmonics. Asymmetrical Silicon clipping: Tighter light gain OD closest to stock 808. Symmetrical silicon clipping: Tighter distorted tone. Schottky Diode clipping: Looser fuzzy tone. Bandwidth: This sets the overall tone and gain structure of the Palisades. 1 is the thinnest setting with the least amount of gain and 5 is the fattest setting with the heaviest gain. Everything else is in between. This control has a major effect on all the settings of the Palisades, especially the Gain and Voice controls. Normal/Bright: Normal is a warm full tone. Bright is livelier tone with more chime. Buffer: Turns the input buffer on or off. ON is a tighter and brighter tone while OFF is a warmer tone with more sag. The buffer is part of the drive circuit & is only available when the Palisades is activated. learn more here: /palisades Video & animation by @imperialemporium guitar by @jamiestillman @nashguitars_official @drzamps @voodoolabofficial @lavacable
