<<< Power Requirements >>>
<<< Tech Specs >>>
• Current Draw: 78mA
• This device take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We
always recommend pedal-specic, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple
isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power.
Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specic power supplies do not lter
dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
• Input Impedance: 1M Ohm • Output Impedance: <1K Ohm

This device has a limited lifetime warranty. If it breaks, we will x it. Should you encounter any

<<< Flexi-Switching >>>
This device features Flexi-Switch™ Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style
allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style switching.
• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap
again to bypass.
• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect.
Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.

Welcome to your new EarthQuaker Devices®Dispatch Master™Delay & Reverb!
Can you hold on a sec? The phone’s ringing. Hello? Yeah, they’re right next to me. It’s for you. Oh,
I dunno. Something about a delay and reverb pedal with 1.5 seconds of delay time and a dynamic
reverb that goes from natural and roomy to cavernous and deep. All in one pedal, yeah. It’s called the
Dispatch Master. What’s that? Sure, I can ask. Does the Repeats control self-oscillate when it’s all
the way up? It doesn’t? Oh, that’s great! Wait, though – what’s this Flexi-Switch™business all about?
The best-selling EarthQuaker Devices pedal just got bester [sic] with new Flexi-Switch™ Technology!
Want to dip into ambient delay and reverb sounds for just one note? Press and hold the footswitch for
as long as you use the effect, release it when you’re nished, and resume your regularly scheduled
dry sound. To use the Dispatch Master as a normal effects pedal, press the switch once to activate
and again to bypass.
The Dispatch Master is a hi- digital Delay & Reverb Device that combines independent delay and
reverb effects into one space-saving enclosure, so you can keep deep ambient echoes (or just a quick
slapback) on speed-dial.
To Use Both Effects at the Same Time, Simply Adjust all Controls to Taste:
• The Mix (1) control is a wet/dry blend that adjusts the overall level of the affected signal.
• Time (2) sets the delay time from 0ms to 1500ms (1.5 seconds).
• Reverb (3) controls the amount of reverb. Counterclockwise is less reverb, clockwise is
more reverb.
• Repeats (4) controls the regeneration of the delay signal. When the Repeats control is set to
maximum, you’ll get innite repeats without runaway self-oscillation, which makes it great for
creating drones, dialing in the ultimate post-rock guitar sound without feedback, or just having fun.
To Use the Dispatch Master as a Delay Only:
• Turn the Reverb control all the way down
• Adjust the Time, Repeats, and Mix controls to taste
To Use the Dispatch Master as a Reverb Only:
• Turn the Time and Repeats controls all the way down
• Adjust the Reverb and Mix controls to taste

<<< Pro Tip >>>
THIS IS IMPORTANT! In Reverb-only mode, the Repeats control has a secondary function.
It can be used to adjust the decay, depth, and tonal quality of the reverb! Turn it up for more
dynamics and a thicker tone.
