EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run Pedal FAQs

Does the Avalanche Run have an expression jack?

Yes! The EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run Delay Reverb includes an expression jack. You can map the expression jack to various parameters, such as delay time, repeats, mix, decay, and the mode toggle. Use the Avalanche Run with an expression pedal for real-time, hands-free control over your effects.

What expression pedals are compatible with Avalanche Run?

The Avalanche Run 2 works best with TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) expression pedals. EarthQuaker Devices recommends the Mission Engineering EQD-1, which is designed for their pedals. The Moog EP-3 is also a solid option, as long as the output adjustment knob is turned all the way up. For best results, check with EarthQuaker Devices or your expression pedal manufacturer to ensure compatibility.

What are the differences between the EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run V1 vs V2? How to tell Avalanche Run V2 vs V1?

The EarthQuaker - Avalanche Run V2 version features an improved reverb algorithm with enhanced stereo imaging, offering an even richer and more immersive sound. It also comes in a custom-built enclosure for durability and a more refined design.

Can I use the delay and reverb separately on the Avalanche Run pedal?

No, the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run V2 Stereo Delay Reverb Pedal is designed to blend delay and reverb together, but you can dial down either effect to make one more prominent.

What power supply does the Avalanche Run reverb require? How to power Avalanche Run pedal?

The Avalanche Run by EarthQuaker Devices is powered by a standard 9V DC power supply with a minimum of 425mA current. It does not support battery operation.

Does the Avalanche Run pedal feature a Reverse mode?

Yes! The Avalanche Run EQD pedal has a dedicated Reverse mode, which flips your delay repeats for a dreamy, otherworldly effect. You can activate it using the toggle switch or even control it dynamically with an expression pedal.

Does the Avalanche Run work in stereo?

Yes! It has stereo inputs and outputs, making it perfect for wide, immersive soundscapes on guitar, synths, or other instruments.

How to use Avalanche Run in stereo mode?

With its dual input and output jacks, the Avalanche Run supports full stereo operation. To use it in stereo, connect two input sources (such as a stereo pedal or two instruments) to the Input 1 and Input 2 jacks. Then, route the stereo signal by connecting Output 1 and Output 2 to two separate amps, speakers, or an audio interface. This setup lets you experience the pedal's lush stereo imaging, making your delays and reverbs sound even bigger and more immersive.

Can Avalanche Run do dotted 8th? How to get dotted 8th delay on Avalanche Run pedal?

Here's how to set up a dotted 8th note delay on the Avalanche Run:

Tap in Your Tempo: Use the Tap footswitch to set your desired tempo.
Select the Right Subdivision: The ratio selector switch selects delay subdivisions. Set the switch to 3/4, corresponding to a dotted 8th note delay.
Adjust the Delay Settings: Use the Time knob to fine-tune the delay length, the Repeats knob to set the number of echoes, and the Mix knob to balance the effect with your dry signal.
Enhance the Sound: Experiment with the Tone knob to shape the repeats and tweak the Decay knob if you want to add more reverb for extra depth.

Can the Avalanche Run pedal self-oscillate?

Yes! Holding down the Tap switch will trigger auto-oscillation, allowing you to create wild, runaway delay effects.

What kind of reverb is in the Avalanche Run?

The Avalanche Run features a plate-style reverb with a touch of modulation, similar to the one in the Dispatch Master but with a richer, more immersive character. It can range from subtle ambience to deep, cavernous spaces, perfect for everything from gentle textures to massive atmospheric swells.

Is the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run stereo delay and reverb true bypass?

Yes, but it also has a buffered bypass mode with five different tail lengths, allowing the effect to naturally fade out even after the pedal is turned off.
