EQD: breaking down dem language barriers
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 2:21 pm
Anyone had a look at their FB page today? They're busy updating/modernizing pedal descriptions, lulz may ensue. EQD does Friday right! Obviously.

One example below. There are more like this available.
"Disasta Transhiznit Modulated Delay Machine
Da Disasta Transhiznit be a analog voiced digital delay wit 625ms delay time, all analog dry signal path, true bypass n' added modulation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. It was designed as a anti-modern delay fo' em whoz ass appreciate a ill tape echo wit all it’s peculiarities. It’s unique tone control doublez as a noise filter on longer delay settings n' straight-up helps tha delay shine wit a thugged-out dirty signal. Da mix control allows you ta boost tha effected signal ta nearly 4x tha original gangsta signal level n' tha modulation can go from subtle pitch shiftin warble ta ultra fast tremolo speedz while tha LED visually shows tha rate.
Controls
Mix- Sets tha output level of tha effected signal. This should be treated as a bust control/ masta volume fo' tha delay line. Unitizzle be around noon n' everythang above noon will boost tha delayed signal louder than tha original. This be a bust control so, like any pedal wit a shitload of gain, a hint of noise n' distortion at max settin is straight-up normal.
Tone- Most delay pedals is heavily filtered all up in tha output ta remove tha clock noise n' other unwanted hash dat is common from extendin tha range of tha delay time beyond tha limit of tha circuitry. This probably leaves tha delay soundin dark, muddy n' disappear when hittin it wit dirt. Da Disasta Transhiznit has done away wit a shitload of tha heavy filterin n' replaced it wit a tone control which allows tha user ta chizzle they desired sound n' thangs up in dis biatch up in mo' natural tape-like repeats. Da tone control be at it’s darkest straight-up counter clockwise n' brightens as you turn it clockwise fo' realz. A phat rule of thumb is ta leave tha tone control between off (fully counter clockwise) n' noon at longer delay times. This will remove all tha common noise from hyper-extendin tha circuit.
Time- From bout 30ms straight-up counter clockwise ta bout 625ms straight-up clockwise.
Repeats- Sets tha regeneration of tha delay line. From one single repeat straight-up counter clock- wise, subtle repeats around 9 O’clock, phat naturally decayin repeats at noon, near infinite repeats around 2 O’clock n' full on self oscillation straight-up clockwise.
Depth- Sets tha depth of tha modulation ta tha delay line. Da modulation is true pitch-shiftin vibrato, higher depth settings will give sea sick pitch bending, lower settings will yield a mo' natural chorus/leslie/tremolo settin dependin on modulation rate n' delay time. To achieve a mo' natural modulation, tha depth should be reduced as tha delay time is increased.
Rate- Sets tha speed of tha modulation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Goes from painfully slow ta way-to-fast allowin nuff muthafuckin different modulation stylez ta reveal themselves.
Bypass- Turns tha effect on/off.
Measures
4.7" x 3.7" x 1.18"
Juice
Any standard 9 volt DC juice supply wit a negatizzle center 2.1mm barrel."
