Earthquaker Devices Silos Delay - Multi-Generational Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Earthquaker Devices Silos Multi-Generational Time Reflection Delay delivers three distinct delay algorithms spanning the entire history of echo effects in one intuitive pedal. This versatile delay stompbox seamlessly transitions between pristine digital repeats, warm analog-style echoes, and characterful tape-style delay with artifact-rich modulation. Perfect for players who demand tonal flexibility without menu diving, the Silos combines professional-grade delay workstation capabilities with the simplicity of a classic 4-knob interface, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.

Product Overview

The Silos features three meticulously crafted delay algorithms that capture the essence of different delay generations. The digital mode delivers crystal-clear repeats with pristine fidelity, the analog mode provides warm, slightly compressed echoes reminiscent of bucket-brigade circuits, and the tape mode recreates the saturated, modulated character of vintage tape echo machines. Each algorithm offers up to one full second of delay time, providing everything from quick slapback to expansive ambient soundscapes. The powder-coated die-cast aluminum enclosure ensures road-worthy durability while maintaining a compact footprint on your pedalboard.

The pedal's control layout prioritizes immediate access to essential delay parameters through dedicated Time, Repeats, and Mix knobs. The Silos eliminates the need for complex menu navigation, allowing you to shape your delay sound with the same intuitive approach as classic analog pedals. A high-visibility dual-color LED indicates whether you're in Live mode or accessing one of the six preset slots, ensuring you always know your current operating state.

Performance-focused features elevate the Silos beyond basic delay functionality. The dedicated tap tempo footswitch lets you sync delay time to your song's tempo on the fly, while the expression pedal input can be assigned to control various parameters for real-time sound morphing. The buffered bypass with trails preserves your delay tails when you disengage the effect, maintaining natural decay without abrupt cutoffs that interrupt your musical flow.

Ideal For

• Versatile guitarists who need multiple delay flavors without carrying separate pedals
• Session players requiring quick preset recall for different songs and sections
• Ambient and experimental musicians exploring spacious soundscapes with extended repeats
• Live performers who depend on tap tempo synchronization and expression control
• Recording artists seeking authentic digital, analog, and tape delay characteristics

Key Features

Three Delay Algorithms

Switch instantly between digital, analog-style, and tape-style delay modes to access the full spectrum of echo textures. The digital algorithm delivers transparent, accurate repeats perfect for modern productions. The analog mode adds warmth and subtle compression that sits beautifully in dense mixes. The tape mode introduces natural modulation and saturation that captures the beloved imperfections of vintage tape echo units.

Six-Preset Memory System

Store and recall up to six complete delay patches using the Preset switch. Each preset remembers your delay mode, time, repeats, mix settings, and expression assignments, allowing you to switch between radically different sounds instantly. This feature eliminates the need to remember settings or manually adjust parameters between songs during live performances.

Dedicated Tap Tempo Footswitch

The built-in tap tempo footswitch provides hands-free control over delay timing, ensuring your repeats stay locked to your song's tempo. Simply tap the footswitch at your desired rhythm and the Silos automatically calculates and sets the delay time, making it effortless to maintain perfect synchronization throughout your set.

Assignable Expression Control

Connect an expression pedal to control Time, Repeats, or Mix parameters in real-time. This powerful feature enables dynamic delay swells, self-oscillating feedback adventures, and smooth transitions between subtle slapback and cavernous echoes without touching a knob. The expression input opens creative possibilities for experimental performances and studio work.

Buffered Bypass with Trails

The Silos employs Flexi-switch buffered bypass that maintains signal integrity while preserving delay tails when you disengage the effect. Unlike true bypass circuits that abruptly cut repeats, the buffered design allows natural decay of echoes, creating smooth transitions that sound more musical and professional.
