Earthquaker Devices Dirt Transmitter Rancho De La Luna.
A fuzz revival with deep desert roots. The Dirt Transmitter returns in a limited edition celebrating 30 years of Rancho De La Luna—the legendary Joshua Tree recording studio run by Dave Catching (earthlings?, Eagles of Death Metal, QOTSA). Originally released in 2008 and discontinued in 2017, this cult-classic fuzz is back with its signature silicon warmth, sputtery voltage-starved textures, and all-new artwork by Ohio artist Mike Egan.
Features:
-
Inspired by Fuzz Face: Built around rare low-gain silicon transistors that emulate germanium warmth while delivering gritty top-end character.
-
Voltage Starve Control: External Bias knob allows precise control over fuzz texture—from smooth saturation to gated, sputtering tones.
-
Studio-Proven Circuit: Featured extensively in EarthQuaker founder Jamie Stillman’s recordings during a 2023 Rancho De La Luna session.
-
Limited Edition Artwork: Custom enclosure designed by Mike Egan, blending Rancho mystique with bold visual flair.
-
EQD Legacy: A beloved and versatile fuzz pedal reborn for a limited run—crafted with the same care and sonic focus EarthQuaker is known for.
This special edition Dirt Transmitter isn’t just a reissue—it’s a fuzz-laden tribute to creativity, collaboration, and the sonic legacy of Rancho De La Luna. Whether you’re chasing classic grind or velcroed madness, this pedal delivers with style and soul.
