EarthQuaker Devices Ledges Reverberation Machine

The EarthQuaker Devices Ledges Reverberation features two operating modes which are indicated by the colour of the Save/Recall switch LED. In Live mode, the pedal will respond to control adjustments in real time. In Preset mode, stored presets, including expression pedal mapping, are selected using the Preset switch, and the physical settings of the controls will be ignored. An additional hold function on the bypass switch lets users toggle between modes on the fly, providing quick access to two different sounds while performing. A TRS expression pedal input on the side of the unit enables real-time control over one of three selectable parameters: Length, Damping, or Mix. This setup makes it easy to navigate a wide variety of reverb sounds, whether in live settings or in the studio.

EarthQuaker Devices was founded in 2004 by the musician Jamie Stillman, who had previously gathered years of experience in the world of music and sounds as the manager of a record label for metal, punk, and shoegaze bands. Today, his innovative pedal designs are among the most in-demand and desirable devices in the boutique segment, attracting interest from a huge community of musicians. Stillman is now in charge of a sizeable team of developers and technicians, who are continuously working from their base in Akron, Ohio to expand their catalogue of hand-made effects pedals. EarthQuaker Devices are used by renowned artists like Paul Simon, Coldplay, Tom Bukovac, Idles, and The Black Keys.
