Arion Flanger with only a little resonance and a fairly slow speed. Feed some OD into it and I think it sounds like two planets grinding against each other while you're playing.

The Earth, man, those are mighty big shoes to fill (looks, but doesn't find suitable Sideshow Bob clip).

Rolled highs, grainy middles, churning lows, non periodic seismic activity; no milky center, no lava lamp back rubs, just the sense of being slowly chewed up by uncut diamond teeth. I try to support digging into those corners, but for the most part the center point of range in the effect does not hover at the point I envision an ideal earth effect would inhabit.

Standard shape LFO are out, you need something that builds tension and slips out of joint, bringing the surroundings into the fold while doing so. Slowed down cracking of glass. An interactive LFO (soft synced to input) can help with the sense of organic, which is based in earth in my perception.

Fuzz obviously bridges a huge gap, so long as it's not geared toward top boost. I haven't been really leaning on tectonics as my aim (more of an accelerated erosion of the empty artifacts of civilization sort of wavelength lately) but I can certainly feed those thoughts into guiding the iron on a build. If anything here remotely comes close to your aim I'm happy to strive for further depths in the direction of your choice:

Probably toward the end on that, the swarming ants underneath the surface as opposed to the birds which eat them.

Guitar input starts around the 3:30 minute mark, apologies on both the length of the video and the quality of the recording (I can do a direct recording if it helps, but I'm still unable to support a video capture while doing so). Also, I was basically wanking on the tremolo aspect during the entire last half, though you can hear soil through some cracks.

Did you send him the holy earth on which your gear stash lays in return for a discount?

Octave down > grindy fuzz > reverb/delay with slow but extreme modulation

With the right wang-bar action you can crush anything with this. It's a landslide, and the seasick motion of the planet.

Mangledverb.

White noise generator + overdrive/distortion + variable state filter + massive reverb
Personally, I'd probably use the LAL Sandstorm > SS/BS Fuck > DBA Evil Filter/ Anderton Super Tone Control > Blackout Effectors Cadavernous

This was going to be the cornerstone of my reply
[oscillator tuned between 7 & 8Hz, layered with white noise from tape hiss through a DMM on the cusp of oscillation]
[same setup, take 1 playing back & recorded by underwater microphone and take2 playing underwater, recorded by mic in a diving bell]
Those 3ch mixed together simultaneously, first in series progression then parallel sync'd

harsh noise wall, when done correctly, emulates the low rumble of the planet.

harsh noise wall is not an effect and there are a million ways to do it right, but i like what the guy in see through buildings does to emulate the earth.

How has no one mentioned the Meatbox yet?

Otherwise, pretty cool and good answers in here. I'd do something combination of something self oscillating, something going down in octaves, something reverberating, something randoming, and lots of fuzz/distortion.
