EarthQuaker Silos Multi Generational Time Reflection Device Delay Pedal
Unlike anything before it, the Silos merges together a digital, analog, and tape delay into one compact and powerful pedal. In addition to the tri-voice delay, it features tap tempo, user-assignable expression control, and the ability to save and recall six presets, making it endlessly customizable and easy to operate. It's like having three classic pedals all rolled into one! Now you can save room on your pedalboard while never having to decide which single delay to use again.
3 Modes Of Impeccable Sounding Delay
Each of the three modes offers up to one second of delay time. From noon and back is 500 milliseconds to zero, which has its own character. From 500 milliseconds to one second of delay time, it's an entirely different beast. Dial them in for shorter delay times where they really excel and add loads of atmosphere and vibes. Push them further for rhythmic delays that are perfect for strumming and adding extra ambiance for your riffs. Each of the three delay modes is uniquely different and offers its own unique character when selected.
Mode D: Digital Delay
This mode offers bright repeats that remain strong as they decay. Shorter settings give you a bold stuttering staccato sound, while longer settings give you ambiance with longer repeats.
Mode A: Analog Delay
This mode is very mid-focused with faster diminishing repeats and dark and murky build ups. Boasting a big presence without low end throb or overpowering high end, this works equally well with a clean signal or distortion.
Mode T: Tape Delay
Reminiscent of a well-loved tape delay with just a hint of oil can delay vibes mixed in for good measure. Roll it on for everything from dark undertones to atmospheric terrains.
Pairs Perfectly With Distortion
Silos was meticulously designed to respond well to gain and overdrive saturation.
Presets
Silos has six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings. The settings for each of the three controls, the mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.
Easily Switch Between Delay Modes
Silos has two operating modes which are extremely easy to switch between on the fly! In Live mode, the pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. In Preset mode, stored presets (including expression pedal mapping) are selected using the Preset switch, and the physical settings of the controls will be ignored.
User-Assignable Expression Control
Use any TRS expression pedal to take control over the Time, Repeats or Mix.

Mode D: Digital Delay mode offers nearly infinite repeats that hold their fidelity while gradually rolling off the top end with each regeneration.
Mode A: Analog Delay mode is more mid-focused in the initial attack and gradually degrades while getting darker with each repeat.
Mode T: This mode resembles an old, well-loved tape delay with all its glorious artifacts. Dark and moody with just a hint of distortion when you hit it just right.
User-assignable expression control
Dedicated tap tempo footswitch
Two global operating modes which are indicated by the color of the Save/Recall switch:
Green = Live Mode

Buffered bypass featuring Flexi-Switch Technology with tails
This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.
For standard latching operation: tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.
For momentary operation: hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
