EarthQuaker Devices Spatial Delivery Envelope Filter with Sample & Hold Pedal (V3)

[Guild Note: No one can present EarthQuaker Devices better than the EQD Marketing Team themselves. What follows derives straight from either the manufacturer's website, or the product's instruction manual.]

We proudly present the new and improved Spatial Delivery Envelope Filter! We took the already cosmic, original Spatial Delivery and added six available preset slots for you to store your preferred settings – whether they be dissonant sweeps, rhythmic auto-wah frequencies, oscillating robot gibberish or honestly whatever filtered frequency fun you want. Even the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots so that the signature sounds you dial in are readily available with a quick tap of the switch. Save your settings confidently on the go thanks to the two modes indicated by the LED Save/Recall switch.

And of course, for all of you Spatial Delivery diehards, all the familiar features of the original are still in place. This baby has three modes with the switchable Up Sweep, Down Sweep, and Sample & Hold functions, along with Range, Resonance and Filter controls. Get some wild filter sweeps with the Up and Down modes and adjust the Range to control the sensitivity and reaction time of the envelope, which alters the width of the frequency sweep. In the Sample & Hold mode, the filter is controlled by random voltage and the Range controls the speed. The filter can be crossfaded between high pass, band pass and low pass for a wide variety of voices. The Resonance control goes from zero to the brink of oscillation and adds more body and ring to the filter voice.

CONTROLS

Mode: This toggles between upward sweep, downward sweep or sample and hold.
Range: Adjusts the sensitivity of the envelope in Up and Down mode. In Sample and Hold mode, this controls the speed.
Filter: This crossfades between high pass and low pass filters and allows you to get everything in between. High pass is fully counterclockwise, low pass is full clockwise and center is band pass. This is much more useful than a simple switch you would typically find on a multi-mode because it allows you to blend the filters for different sounds!
Resonance: This is the filter feedback control. It adds more body and ring to the filter voice.
Presets: Six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings! The settings for each of the three controls, the mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.

GLOBAL FEATURES

Presets: Spatial Delivery boasts six presets and on-the-fly footswitch preset switching, with expression control that can be mapped to different controls and can also be saved as a preset. Saving, recalling and overwriting presets has never been simpler.

Operating Modes: Spatial Delivery has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the Save/Recall switch LED. In Live Mode, the pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set, and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. In Preset Mode, stored presets are selected using the Preset switch, and the physical settings of the controls will be ignored.

User-Assignable Expression Control: Use any TRS expression pedal to easily take control over the Range, Resonance or Filter controls, allowing for limitless experimentation.

FLEXI-SWITCH® TECHNOLOGY

This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.

For standard latching operation: Tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.

For momentary operation: With the effect off, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.

Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Current Draw: 75 mA

This device takes a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We recommend using a pedal-specific, transformer-isolated, wall-wart power supply or a power supply with multiple isolated-outputs. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not always filter dirty power and may result in unwanted noise.

DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
