Fuzz Face-inspired and built around rare low-gain silicon transistors, it blends germanium warmth with silicon's gritty top-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eControls\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuzz: Clockwise for heavier tones, counterclockwise for lighter tones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone: Clockwise for a brighter, more cutting tone, counterclockwise to roll off top end for more mellow tones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBias: This is the heart of the Dirt Transmitter, where all of its voices can be found. It affects the voltage to the transistors which will create more gated Velcro fuzz tones counterclockwise and thicker, natural fuzz tones clockwise.

Dave Catching is a founding member of Earthlings? and touring member of Eagles of Death Metal and Queens of the Stone Age - and also a longtime supporter of EarthQuaker Devices. Jamie eagerly joined the session, using the Dirt Transmitter on many tracks to great response from the crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the session, plans emerged to reissue the Dirt Transmitter in conjunction with the album. Dave suggested Ohio-based artist Mike Egan for special Rancho-themed artwork which is an ideal match as Mike lives near EQD's headquarters. The collaboration came together naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EarthQuaker Devices","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56259240755580,"sku":"EQDDIRTV2USARDLL","price":189.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/250613443807008f.jpg?v=1769100870","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/earthquaker-devices-dirt-transmitter-rancho-de-la-luna-limited-edition","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
