time shadows pedal EarthQuaker Devices Time Shadows v2 Delay Pedal One-of-a-Kind #04 – Chicago Music Exchange2025 is the fourth year in a row that EarthQuaker Devices has approached Chicago Music Exchange with a chance to get the one of a kind pedals from their annual EarthQuaker Day celebration. We look forward to getting them each year and we are very excited to offer them to you. Each pedal is unique and only available at Chicago Music Exchange. When they're gone, they're gone. The latest EarthQuaker Device actually is the same as the latest Death By

The latest EarthQuaker Device actually is the same as the latest Death By Audio device. This new pedal is a joint collaboration that brings their sonic soundscape trips to your melted mind.

With the switch to the left Time Shadow's controls are completely the brainchild of EarthQuaker Devices resident genius Jamie Stillman. Flip the switch to the right, and you enter the head of the madman Oliver Ackermann from Death By Audio barely clutching to reality. Place the switch in the middle and enter a whole new realm of pitch warping delays brought to you by a telepathic mind-meld with a 5th dimensional dream being.

All three sounds are wildly different from each other and yet share a perfectly designed harmony to be completely complementary and suitable for every style and genre of music. The EarthQuaker Devices side transforms whatever you play into the sound of a jazz space bazooka! It's a pitch morphed fuzz delay filter with so much attitude that you are actually intimidated. It takes the input signal, blows it out with power of digital distortion, blends it with a polyphonic sub octave, feeds it into a delay, then spits it out into a highly resonant envelope controlled lowpass filter. The Death By Audio side is a multi-delay filter remorphinator that goes from icy shimmers to cosmic space caves of bouncing repeats. The middle position is an energy beam that brings your earthly transmissions repetitively closer to the heavens while simultaneously diving deep into the hells.

In addition to all this madness we also bring you a user assignable expression jack and 6 preset slots to save and recall your favorite settings!

With these three unearthly delights, you should have everything you need to break brains and destroy monotony!

Each Time Shadows was lovingly built by druids with very soft hands in the tiny hobbit hole of Akron, Ohio.

Controls

• All three modes share the same simple controls: Time, Span and Filter.
• While they control the same parameters, you’ll get wildly different results in each mode.
• Time: Controls the Delay Time.
• Span: Controls the intensity of repletion.
• Filter: Arguably the most fun control on Time Shadows! On the EQD side this controls an envelope for the filter frequency and a gate for the cutoff to the input of the delay. On the DBA side this controls the filter Frequency as well as the shift point of a precisely phased delay line for pole zero interpolation. In the magic middle position, this controls the mix.

Pro Tips
Since there is an envelope component to this effect, the input level will play a role in frequency response.

• Some of the most fun to be had is with short delay Time and high Span settings while manipulating the Filter control.

Global Features
Time Shadows has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the Save/Recall switch.

• Green= Live Mode. 
  The pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set, and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. The Save/Recall switch will stay static green.
• Red= Preset Mode. 
  Time Shadows will operate in a stored preset mode which is selected by the preset switch and the physical settings of the control will be ignored. The Save/Recall switch will stay static red.
• Time Shadows comes factory set to start up in Live Mode.
