Earthquaker Launches Silos

Earthquaker Launches Silos

This "Multi-Generational Time Reflection Device" offers three delay modes in one pedal with six presets, tap-tempo, and user-assignable expression control.


"That’s right, we’ve taken a digital delay, an analog delay, and a tape delay and merged them all together as one pedal with six presets, a tap-tempo, and user assignable expression control. Take a moment to compose yourself, we totally understand. Let us give you a little backstory; it all started when EQD founder Jamie Stillman was admiring his three favorite delay pedals from his personal collection and began ruminating on their vast differences. This sparked an ambitious foray into uncharted territory in finding a way to assemble them all together as one uncomplicated unit. After months of tinkering, his mission was accomplished and the Silos was born. With just four knobs, one three-way switch, one Save/Recall button, and two footswitches, he made the impossible possible and now your guitar playing shall reap the rewards!"

Features

Each of the three modes offers up to one second of delay time which allows it to be a longer delay than our other delay pedals. From noon and back is 500 milliseconds to zero, which has its own character. From 500 milliseconds to one second of delay time, it’s an entirely different beast. Dial them in for shorter delay times where they really excel and add loads of atmosphere and vibes. Push them further for rhythmic delays that are perfect for strumming and adding extra ambiance for your riffs. And the tap tempo is truly precise and responsive so you can lock in your rate quickly within the first revolutions.

  • Three-mode delay with the ability to save and recall six presets, tap-tempo, and user-assignable expression control
  • Mix, Time, and Repeats knobs dial in the sound in each of the 3 modes
  • Mode D: Digital Delay mode offers nearly infinite repeats that hold their fidelity while gradually rolling off the top end with each regeneration.
  • Mode A: Analog Delay mode is more mid-focused in the initial attack and gradually degrades while getting darker with each repeat.
  • Mode T: This mode resembles an old, well-loved tape delay with all its glorious artifacts. Dark and moody with just a hint of distortion when you hit it just right.
  • User-assignable expression control
  • Dedicated tap tempo footswitch

At a recent outdoor NHL Stadium Series performance, it was so cold that my hands went numb. So, I had to improvise. Last month, I wrapped the NHL Stadium Series at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in front of 68,619 screaming fans and an army of TV production, crew, etc. The network chose to lean into Nashville’s Music City theme by including performances by 12 of the city’s biggest names in music. About a month ago, the director, Michael Dempsey, whom I worked with on several award shows, hired me as the music director. Here’s how it went....
