EarthQuaker Devices | Dirt Transmitter Fuzz - Rancho De La Luna | Limited Edition
Channel the raw desert tones of Rancho de la Luna with the limited-edition EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter Fuzz Pedal. A reissue of one of EQD’s earliest and most revered circuits, this special version honors the iconic Joshua Tree studio and the creative partnership between EQD founder Jamie Stillman and producer/guitarist Dave Catching (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal).
The Dirt Transmitter delivers fuzz tones that range from smooth and warm to aggressive and gated—thanks to unique low-gain silicon transistors and the signature Bias control that starves the voltage for velcro-like textures. Used extensively during EQD's 2023 sessions at Rancho de la Luna, this pedal captures the essence of analog grit and studio-grade versatility.
Whether you're chasing classic '60s fuzz or modern stoner-rock splatter, the Dirt Transmitter gives you raw control in a boutique-quality box—now wrapped in custom Rancho-themed artwork by Ohio-based artist Mike Egan.
