earthquaker devices/death by audio time shadows: subharmonic multi-delay resonator
price : $199.00
this joint collaboration between earthquaker devices and death by audio is a major update to the original time shadows that was released in 2020 and limited to 1000 units! time shadows now features 3 modes, user assignable expression control and 6 preset slots to
save and recall your favorite settings. the eqd mode is an envelope controlled sub-octave filter delay, the all new !¡ mode is a dual delay where each repeat simultaneously shifts up and down with each regeneration, and the dba mode is a multi-delay
regenerating filter. all three sounds are wildly different from each other and yet share a perfectly designed harmony to be completely complementary and suitable for every style and genre of music.
pitch-morphed fuzz delay filter
the eqd mode transforms whatever you play into the sound of a jazz space bazooka! it takes the input signal, blows it out with the power of digital distortion, blends it with a polyphonic sub octave, feeds it into a delay, then spits it out into a highly resonant
envelope controlled lowpass filter.
pitch-warping dual delay
the !¡ mode is an energy beam that brings your earthly transmissions repetitively closer to the heavens while simultaneously diving deep into the hells. it's a dual delay where each repeat simultaneously shifts up and down with each regeneration.
multi-delay filter remorphinator
the dba mode is a multi-delay filter remorphinator that goes from icy shimmers to cosmic space caves of bouncing repeats.
global features
presets
time shadows has six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings. the settings for each of the three controls, the mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.
operating modes
time shadows has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the save/recall switch led. in live mode, the pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. in preset mode, stored
presets, including expression pedal mapping, are selected using the preset switch, and the physical settings of the controls will be ignored. it's never been easier to switch between live and preset modes on the fly, vastly expanding your sonic cosmos - no
bending down required!
user-assignable expression control
use any trs expression pedal to take control over the time, span or filter.
controls
time: controls the delay time.
filter: arguably the most fun control on time shadows! on the eqd side this controls an envelope for the filter frequency and a gate for the cutoff to the input of the delay. on the dba side this controls the filter frequency as well as the shift point of a
precisely phased delay line for pole zero interpolation. in the magic middle position, this controls the mix...
span: controls the intensity of repletion.
preset: six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings! the settings for each of the three controls, the mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.

flexi-switch® technology
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.
power
this device takes a standard 9 volt dc power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. earthquaker devices always recommend pedal-specific, 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 specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. do not run at higher voltages!
