Behold! The newest incarnation of one of our most beloved pedals ever, the Disaster Transport™. And don’t be confused, the name isn’t talking about that one Uber experience you had where the driver reeked like a dumpster of diapers, missed all of the exits, and talked your ear off about his ex-wife. We’re talking Disaster Transport OG™ – an analog voiced digital delay that can teleport your sound into the stratosphere.

We initially set out to recreate the original Disaster Transport™ pedal in its earliest form, but the OG of EQD, Jamie Stillman, couldn’t resist tinkering and improving the whole thing, so you just got upgraded, my friend. In doing so, we redesigned the delay line to reduce the noise floor and improve the quality of the delay. We boosted the output with a cleaner mixing section; it’s now filtered to sound more like an analog delay than any of the previous versions. This delay pedal sits perfectly in the background with more of an evolved ambiance to it, but it can be dialed in for more of a dramatic effect of your choosing.

For those of you well versed in the pedal’s celebrated history, you might notice some differences on this beautifully sparkly box. We’ve added a Mod Mode switch that allows you to choose between bending (Bend) and stretching (Stretch) the modulation wave. The Bend setting offers a subtler vibe closer to a traditional chorus sound, while the new Stretch option gives you loads of pitch-stretching modulation to run wild with.

The other difference you probably spotted with your eagle eye is the Mod Speed three-position toggle switch that offers Slow (S), Fast (F), and Medium (M) settings. The Slow setting is excruciatingly slow and can produce bizarrely animated gradual climbs and steep drop offs. The Fast setting can go from a rapid chorus to an intense vibrato, while the Medium setting is the most traditional rate similar to the classic Memory Man circuit with a nice range to it.

The newly designed enclosure features knobs to control the Speed, Intensity, Mix, Repeats, and Time, with Modulate and Activate Switches, making this a highly customizable pedal to get the delay sound of your dreams. Thanks to the ramp modulation circuitry, you can turn the delay time down and start to use feedback and modulation at a higher setting to harness a bizarre modulator and achieve subtle to wild chorus-type effects. Or set your delay time how you want to set it and use your modulation rates to set your tempo, so you can strum or pluck to the climbs and drop offs to match your riffs. The possibilities are endless. So without further delay, enjoy this del…well, err. We kinda painted ourselves into a corner there. Anyway, enjoy this pedal!

Each Disaster Transport™ is grown organically in the farmlands of Akron, Ohio, USA, using only the finest soil and fertilizer until they are perfectly ripe for picking.
