Get to know them!





The EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids could be the ultimate stereo flanger pedal. Eight modes and five recallable user presets unleash decades of flange inspiration at a moment's notice. A Tap switch with a subdivision toggle allows you to key into the tempo of your songs ? a rare feat for traditional flanger devices. EarthQuaker's Pyramids uses the same proprietary 24-bit/96kHz DSP architecture as their Avalanche Run, for stereo depth and clarity unmatched by your old standbys. Another future-looking feature is Pyramids' Flexi-switch, which permits latching or momentary operation to texturize a chorus or sweeten a quick harmonic here and there. A Mix knob dials in just the right amount of sweetening, and true bypass switching preserves the integrity of your signal when out of the loop.

Five user presets





Pyramids is the first EQD pedal to feature five user-definable presets. Now you're free to wield the full power of Pyramids with no risk of losing sight of your favorites.





Latching/momentary Flexi-switch





Pyramids' relay-based true-bypass switching system, Flexi-switch, offers both latching and momentary operation. So whether you're inspired to texturize a song, set, or solo, Pyramids gives you the flexibility you're looking for.





Tap switch for tempo sync





For users who want tempo-correct flanging effects, Pyramids includes both an integrated Tap switch and a subdivision toggle (Rate & Tap).





Wet/dry control





Another feature that sets Pyramids apart from other flangers is its Mix control, allowing you to dial in just how much sweetening to add to your dry signal. For guitarists who demand ultimate control from their effects pedals, Sweetwater recommends the EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids flanger pedal.
