EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids Stereo Flanging Device Guitar Effects Pedal

Earthquaker
Devices Pyramids is a Stereo Flanging Device with five presets, eight flanger
modes, tap tempo, tap subdivision, a multifunction Modify control, positive and
negative Feedback, and a variable Mix control, which is something you dont see
on a flanger every day.

Exquisite Sound

Built upon the same proprietary DSP architecture as the Avalanche Run, Pyramids
delivers a convincing jet-engine roar, authentic through-zero tape-style
warble, infinite barber pole sweeps, flexible I/O routing, and the ability to
re-trigger the LFO cycle via footswitch opens up a fourth dimension of rhythmic
possibilities thats sure to tickle your third ear.

Classic Mode

Tone control for the modulated signal. Clockwise cuts the low end and allows
the high frequencies to pass through. Counterclockwise cuts the high end and
allows bass frequencies to pass through.

Through-Zero Mode

Delay time for the unmodulated dry signal. This controls where in the LFO cycle
the through-zero point occurs, which is where youll hear the most drastic
cancellation.

Barber Pole Up and Down Mode

Tone control for the modulated signal. Clockwise from the center is a high pass
filter. Counterclockwise from the center is a low pass filter. Tone control for
the modulated signal. Clockwise from the center is a high pass filter.
Counterclockwise from the center is a low pass filter.

Trigger Up and Down Mode

Sensitivity control for the sweep. This controls how quickly the re-triggering
reacts to your pick attack. Sensitivity control for the sweep. This controls
how quickly the re-triggering reacts to your pick attack.

Step Mode

Adjusts the glide between steps. Low Modify settings produce sharp,
stair-stepped transitions between steps. Higher Modify settings introduce a
smoother glissando effect.

Random Mode

Adjusts the glide between steps. Low Modify settings produce sharp,
stair-stepped transitions between steps. Higher Modify settings introduce a
smoother glissando effect.

Controls

Manual controls the delay time of the modulated signal. Manual can also be
controlled via the expression pedal. Rate controls the speed of the LFO as well
as the rise time in Trigger Up mode and fall time in Trigger Down mode. The
Rate control has three ranges of operation: Slow, Normal, and Fast. These modes
are selected by the Rate and Tap toggle switch. Width controls the frequency
range of the LFO sweep. You might also think of it as a depth control for the
LFO. Mix controls is the volume control for the modulated signal. The modulated
signal gets louder when you turn it clockwise and quieter when you turn it
counterclockwise. Activate Footswitch features the Flexi-Switch technology.
This relay-based true-bypass switch allows for momentary or latching operation.
Feedback regeneration control for the modulated signal. Rate and Tap Toggle
Switch Normal center position is 1:1. The tempo you tap in is the tempo
Pyramids will spit out.
