EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids Stereo Flanging Device - 8 Modes | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids Stereo Flanging Device delivers professional stereo flanging with eight distinct modes, five presets, and tap tempo control. Built on the same proprietary DSP architecture as the Avalanche Run, this advanced flanger offers through-zero tape warble, infinite barber pole sweeps, and LFO re-triggering capabilities. Perfect for guitarists seeking comprehensive flanging effects with stereo output and rhythmic synchronization features.
Product Overview
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 don't see on a flanger every day. Built upon the same proprietary DSP architecture as the Avalanche Run, Pyramids delivers 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.
The eight flanger modes include Classic, Through-Zero, Barber Pole Up, Barber Pole Down, Step, Random, Trigger Up, and Trigger Down, providing an unprecedented range of flanging effects from subtle vintage warble to extreme experimental textures. The Rate control features three operational ranges (Slow, Normal, Fast) selected via the Rate & Tap toggle switch, allowing precise tempo matching or creative subdivision effects.
The Modify control's behavior changes depending on the selected mode, adding unique character to each flanging algorithm. Combined with positive and negative feedback control and variable mix adjustment, Pyramids offers complete control over every aspect of the flanging effect while maintaining stereo imaging throughout the signal path.
Ideal For
- Studio musicians requiring professional stereo flanging for recording applications
- Live performers needing preset recall and tap tempo synchronization capabilities
- Experimental guitarists exploring through-zero and barber pole flanging effects
- Ambient and shoegaze musicians seeking infinite sweep and trigger-based effects
- Electronic musicians wanting rhythmic LFO re-triggering and step sequencing features
Key Features
Eight Distinct Flanger Modes
Mode selection includes Classic, Through-Zero, Barber Pole Up, Barber Pole Down, Step, Random, Trigger Up, and Trigger Down algorithms. Each mode offers unique characteristics from vintage tape flanging to modern experimental textures with infinite sweeps and rhythmic patterns.
Stereo Output Architecture
Built upon the same proprietary DSP architecture as the Avalanche Run for professional stereo imaging. Flexible I/O routing accommodates mono-to-stereo conversion or true stereo processing, making it ideal for studio recording and stereo amplifier setups.
Comprehensive Preset System
Five preset slots store all control settings and mode selections for instant recall. Pyramids comes with factory favorites programmed, but all presets are user-rewritable for personalized flanging configurations.
Advanced Tap Tempo Control
Tap tempo functionality with three speed ranges (Slow, Normal, Fast) and subdivision control. The Rate & Tap toggle switch allows 1:1 tempo matching, divided slower sweeps, or multiplied faster sweeps for creative rhythmic synchronization.
LFO Re-Triggering Capabilities
The ability to re-trigger the LFO cycle via footswitch opens up a fourth dimension of rhythmic possibilities. Trigger Up and Trigger Down modes allow manual activation of sweep cycles for rhythmic effects and performance applications.
