help EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master FAQ
Does the EarthQuaker Dispatch Master have true bypass?
Yes, the Dispatch Master features true bypass switching, which ensures your guitar signal remains uncompromised when the pedal is turned off, preventing any tone loss through the signal chain.
Can I power the Dispatch Master with a standard 9V pedal power supply?
The Dispatch Master requires 9V DC center negative power and consumes approximately 60mA. It can be powered by most standard 9V pedal power supplies available.
What is the difference between the Rate and Depth controls on the Dispatch Master?
The Rate control adjusts the speed or frequency of the modulation effect, while the Depth control adjusts the intensity or amount of modulation applied, allowing you to shape both how fast the effect cycles and how pronounced it sounds.
Is the Dispatch Master suitable for bass guitar?
While primarily designed for guitar, the Dispatch Master can work with bass, though the modulation effects may sound different on lower frequencies. Testing is recommended to determine personal preference.
Does this pedal do reverb like the Sea Machine?
No, the Dispatch Master focuses on tremolo, vibrato, and chorus/flanger modulation effects. For reverb, look at EarthQuaker's separate reverb pedals like the Halloumi, Afterneath, or Organizer.
