EarthQuaker Devices Silos

Hey there, fellow Time Travelers! Are you tired of trying to fit all of your favorite delays onto your already overflowing pedalboard? Did you constantly have trouble choosing just one pedal to serve as the catalyst of your echo-centric musings? Had you wished that a pedal company would give you more bang for your buck by merging multiple classic delay effects into one simple little box?

Well hold on to your whammy bar, because your problems are solved now that you’ve found the new Silos – Multi-Generational Time Reflection Device!

That’s right, we’ve taken a digital delay, an analog delay, and a tape delay and merged them all together as one pedal with six presets, a tap-tempo, and user assignable expression control. Take a moment to compose yourself, we totally understand.

Let us give you a little backstory; it all started when EQD founder Jamie Stillman was admiring his three favorite delay pedals from his personal collection and began ruminating on their vast differences. This sparked an ambitious foray into uncharted territory in finding a way to assemble them all together as one uncomplicated unit. After months of tinkering, his mission was accomplished and the Silos was born. With just four knobs, one three-way switch, one Save/Recall button, and two footswitches, he made the impossible possible and now your guitar playing shall reap the rewards!

Each of the three modes offers up to one second of delay time which allows it to be a longer delay than our other delay pedals. 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. And the tap tempo is truly precise and responsive so you can lock in your rate quickly within the first revolutions.
