The Dirt Transmitter™ Legacy Reissue is being released in a limited edition of 1,000 units
Originally created as the second in a long line of EarthQuaker Devices fuzz pedals, the Dirt Transmitter went on to become regarded as one of Jamie Stillman’s best and most interesting fuzz creations. Used for years by your favorite musicians and a cult following of Dirt Transmitter fanatics, this effect has been out of EQD’s lineup for some time … until now! Laid out simply with four knobs: Level, Fuzz, Tone, and Bias, this thing is easy to use, and you’d be hard pressed to find a setting that doesn’t totally rip.
The secret sauce, or magic jus, if you will, of this pedal lies in its rare silicon transistors that offer a gritty top end response and more gain than typical germanium transistors. This enables a biting edge with a rounder tone that doesn’t go overboard with high end distortion. You can dial it in to be gain-heavy and leave it on as your permanent tone for a killer sonic vibe. It can also give you a wider range that goes from overdrive to fuzz without being too loose. That’s the power of silicon right there.
