Earthquaker Devices Dirt Transmitter MKII #536

The EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter is far more than a traditional fuzz pedal, it’s a wild, expressive tone machine that rewards experimentation at every turn. Built around rare silicon transistors, it delivers everything from thick, vintage-inspired fuzz to cutting, high-gain saturation with exceptional clarity and remarkably low noise. Whether you’re chasing classic garage rock grit, soaring psychedelic leads, or modern fuzz textures, the Dirt Transmitter responds beautifully to your playing dynamics and stacks effortlessly with overdrives and other fuzz pedals to create even bigger, more complex sounds.

What truly sets the Dirt Transmitter apart is its incredibly versatile Bias control, which lets you shape the character of the fuzz from smooth and sustaining to sputtering, gated “dying battery” tones that feel straight out of a vintage analog synth. Combined with intuitive Tone, Dirt, and Level controls, it’s easy to dial in everything from warm, creamy sustain to bright, aggressive bite with plenty of output on tap. Hand-built in Akron, Ohio with true-bypass analog circuitry, the Dirt Transmitter is an inspiring addition to any pedalboard and is ready to launch your sound into entirely new territory. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
