Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine

[jasonspacestation]

Nice! Reminds me of the XP300, up in the 30's if I can remember correctly.

[mentalsupernova]

Am I the only one who thought of Kid A while watching this?

[BlackStrat96]

It looks like a fat charlie sheen composing singles for a new zelda videogame.

[papukka77]

2:53 what song is that?

[AtomicProductions98]

Sounds like Zelda and Super Mario 64.

[VonWarwick]

Run that after a good synth pedal and you've got gold

[VonWarwick]

gawwd dayum that is fucking great. I need that and some drugs!

[pothos89]

anyone knows what guitar he is playing?

[CCRockit]

@pothos89

Thats a Reverend Six Gun i believe.

[OtaconNachos]

Dat Synchronicity II

[bigf0ot27]

The beginning sounded a lot like music from the Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past.

[VonWarwick]

@bigf0ot27 Or a couple portions of the music from Gauntlet, the n64 version lol

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Reminds me of the trippy soundtracks to old '70's children's TV shows, lol. Could be used well if you find right settings I suppose. Maybe for some shoegazing perhaps :)

[123yogaba]

such a unique pedal

[kurbads]

The slapback is kinda cool!

[myguitardidyermom12]

must choose....faye sing or rainbow machine. I wish I was rich.

[777jordan]

i lol'd at the end haha

[marcenciels]

Woooooo... it sounds like Brian May live, Get down make love, on Live Killers. very cool!

[BosmanDavid]

@marcenciels Indeed, I thought the same immediactly.

Though I think he also uses it on the album version.

[marcenciels]

@BosmanDavid For sure he did! But all the demo's of the Rainbow have that Brian May live sound, when the effect is pushed to the max. If you know Queen, live and studio are two different world's ;-)

[WahToneGuitars]

Andy you are the only dude that can look cool with a rainboow above his guitar.

[McFro95]

Crap! I always dreamed of creating a diminished harmonizer XD

[Budyguy222222]

Dick Dale would have used this a lot. Maybe he does now.

[chuckdawg1999]

This is really good for getting some of Brian May's harmonized parts

[GenericNameWoo]

This+Geiger Counter. I would LOVE to hear that.

[KINGTHEBEAST]

creepy rainbow sound

[ed2000888]

Sounds like the music from an episode of are you afraid of the dark!

[thegravityplan3]

I want to hear this running into a fuzz pedal.

[mrrazorblade227]

@thegravityplan3 me too!!!!

[CCaPASun]

GET DOWN MAKE LOVE <3

[GhostMantraBand]

@CCaPASun Yeah somebody noticed it! This pedal would be perfect for "Get down make love"

[slamdunktyping]

hi andy, are you using an expression pedal here? specifically at the end with the 'chorus' setting? sounds gorgeous

[fullmetalfunk]

So the expression out only controls the pitch shifting?

[juanypei]

many miles away...

[Brokethelofi]

Scary.

[andrewkrip]

I think I'll wait for the double rainbow machine to come out

[cfwilkins2003]

Very musically strange. I want one!!!!!

This is definitely going on my "guitar stuff on youtube that I cant afford" playlist.

[tollchuck]

I bet a weeks pay Hendrix would have two of these hooked up in stereo for his 2012 comeback tour.

[ardipithecus11]

Hell, I'd buy one just so people ask me why one of my pedals is pink.

[WhitetailWillie]

WHOA. what? i'm in neverland

[psichomiko]

what kind of guitar is that?

[crumbxhsu]

@psichomiko It's a Reverend.

[BulbofPassion]

@psichomiko A Reverend Six Gun to be exact.

[cadeeja]

This is expensive and I'm not sure when I'd use it, but I have to have one.

[gravensteinapple]

Finally a pedal that will let me play the intro to Ghost Town by The Specials on guitar

[miro108]

DO NOT USE THIS PEDAL IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH BAND: You might get in trouble lol

[miro108]

I luv the Police part

[okavipra]

whats that guitar on 0:33

[TheEternalLeader]

Wow, I really love this pedal! lol Andy's playing definitely helps too, I might have to pick one up!

[roojunk]

I want to use this in my worship band!

[GuillermoSmyser]

@roojunk Do you worship Satan? Haha kidding. But I would never consider this in my worship band. Not that it's a bad idea. I just wanted to make the joke more than anything

[sphinnix]

you make me want pedal that i can't play and i can't afford

[dinovideos]

Pro Guitar shop presents the gayname gaypedal ! lol

[louzarv1]

Useless ? pshhhh ..This is perfect for any experimental musician :D

[TheCollisionofworlds]

ladies and gentlemen i present you: the most useless and un neccesary pedal ever made!

[ehowie]

@TheCollisionofworlds So you can't afford it either?

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@ehowie nope but i do have a boss gt-10 that could do all this plus anything else

[ironrushscorp]

I WANT SOME DISTORTION ON THIS PUPPY!

[wrf1973]

Can I vote for this as the best demo you've ever made? Can I stop tripping balls?

[urethra182]

You suck my blood like a leech! You break the law and you preach! Screw my brain til it hurts!

[CraigSpannier]

Its only useless if you're lazy.

[Hesthewizeguy]

omg this is so useless.... gah I WANT ONE!

[CCRockit]

@Hesthewizeguy

"Nothing's useless in Rock N Roll."

~Phil X

[FunkKlock]

@Hesthewizeguy i know right!!!...oh...my...god it has a MAGIC footswitch!!

[FloyDZeD]

Look at that rainbow, oh my god it's so intense!

[ZachDRUMMOND]

Why oh WHY is Andy playing these butt ugly guitars? Such a fail!

[slugpumper1]

Nah - not doing anything for me this one.

[Ombrenuit]

I must know what this sounds like with a Total Sonic Annihilation

[mmmboobs]

I'll take three. Excuse me i have to go buy a pink guitar to go with my pink pedal, strap, picks and clothes.

[sixstrinngmunky]

I work at guitar center, and i had a customer come in and ask about this pedal, and all i could say was go to pro guitar shop...we cant even carry stuff like this...it sucks

[artgonewrong]

Nice! However....yeah, the pink is a little too girly for pedal board...but,I'm safe in my sexuality that I will probably get this one!

[stopmakingeyesatme1]

@artgonewrong exactly my thoughts about 5 seconds before hitting "buy"!

[maneatingtoilets]

@artgonewrong Pink pedals make you look cool....(ok maybe not) but pink actually used to be the colour for newborn boys, and blue was the colour for girls. Somewhere since then it did a flippity loop.

[Ombrenuit]

@maneatingtoilets Post source? I really want to share that with my workmates

[maneatingtoilets]

@Ombrenuit I actually only know (think) this from word of mouth. But a quick google search seems to suggest that gender was not much differentiated in children untill the around 20th century. So boys could wear dresses and pink clothes as children. It didnt matter. Also red is a relative of red which is fiery and manly, and blue was linked to the virgin mary. But it seems its not so black and white as the pink and blue Ive heard about.

[JohnDCvlog]

This is something i would want to mess with.. but i dont want my friend's asking me why i have a pink rainbow pedal... hahaha

[BoydLittle]

mother of god...

[CaptainEffects]

jesus, probably the most unsane pedal i've ever seen/heard.

[thecompletejake]

i do not like sound fx types of pedals.

[skaterkidss]

Uhh..... If these are limited run, I think I'll kill myself. When will they be back in stock?

NEED.

[crissthian]

Warning: dont use this when high!

[twistedH3L1X]

Nice, but I'll wait for the Double Rainbow Machine!!!

[Aerosmitty77]

Watching this on LSD would probably make me go insane.

[dornerd]

Hahaha, the pedal sounds sooooo sinister no matter what Andy plays.

[hondansx1000]

I think Hendrix would've loved this pedal

[Brown86Town]

@hondansx1000 Hendrix would have made this pedal his bitch! Man, I wish he was still alive. Imagine the amazing music he would be making.

[hondansx1000]

@Brown86Town yeah he would still be in a class of his own

[wrf1973]

Does this pedal ship with a hefty sack of Oregon shrooms?

[antichrist07comrad]

fuck yeah syncronicity! 2!!!!!!!!

[digiwaves]

A truly twisted and sick pedal! Now you know what I want for Xmas!

[montejano760]

i know if i got that pedal, my playing would sound like shit. But Andy demonstrates it so well.

[CommBreakDown]

i cant wait to get one

[dboonedarkness]

Holy wow I am getting this pedal!

[guitarjaps]

wtf...??????



[MrForhelvede]

Nice pedal.

But I don't allow pink pedals on the pedal board

[matreames]

I feel tone love exploding from my depthy places.

[MrDblStop]

Andy you look stoned :-)

[TwoBucksShy]

I got a contact high just watching this video.

[ChablesMan]

Hardcore lulz at the ending.

[linkwray22]

much much fun

[gomer1021]

so awesome, yet so useless.

[TextOnTheScreen]

@gomer1021 It's not useless at all. It modulates the signal in almost every way, it would be hard not to find a use for it.

[portage600]

All i can see think of is video games. Black screen of geometric shapes chasing me while repetitive electronic music plays.

[ztikmaen]

I'm sure I heard this in the Scary Tunnel from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[4thRich22s]

Anyone else thinking about Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home now? When the "probe" shows up in the 23rd century, let's hope someone finds one of these pedals and a working full-stack to send it packing!

[skoobydew20]

that sound makes me happy ahaha

[mo28mabini]

mmmm..trippy. all i need is acid.

[rocawearboi09]

For the first 9 seconds of this video, I didn't understand what the fuck was going on....

[ramonaHQ]

F! I haven't wanted a pedal this bad since the EQD Bit Commander. Serious GAS.

EQD and Death By Audio are making the most interesting pedals!

[Swedernish]

What drugs have i taken this time...

[aggstro]

Why would you ever NOT have the Magic turned all the way up?

[MatSpengerOfficial]

Synchronicity II!

[viomartyr]

A.k.a. the "all-you-need-to-start-a-post-­rock-band" pedal.

[ALJ0hnzeera]

Is the riff Andy plays @2:53 from anything?

[adjemes]

Can Burgs to the Fulltone Fuldrive 2 pedal... I would love to listen to it with his tone

[fredrikstenberg]

Intro sounds like the middle section of "Get down make love" by Queen! Sweet!

[OzziePete1]

If you put 2 of these together do you get DOUBLE RAINBOWS? Weird device, btw.

[pulse0000]

It sounds like one of the levels on Mario Bros'.

[EradicatedVoid]

Sounds exactly like the Castle Theme from Super Mario World!

[SixStringHarmonies]

$225........loved that you guys were putting the price in the comment section for a while there.

Not sure i would use this enough to satisfy the price paid for it. Maybe if it were $89, but that ain't happening. Definitely has it's place on somebody's board though. It does what it does pretty well imo, as all EQD's stuff does.

[DanDeePee]

@davetoporek a 3rd above would be 3 full notes above whatever note he is playing, and a 4th below is 4 full notes below what hes playing

[colemanthesoulman]

@DanDeePee 3rd above is the 3rd step of a scale.. from a C.. two white keys on a piano to get to an E.. or 4 notes / 4 frets (2 steps) on a guitar.

[RapScallion42]

Just when I thought I didn't need any more pedals...

[davetoporek]

3rd above to a 4th below, what does that mean ?

[SixStringHarmonies]

@davetoporek those are the intervals which the pedal can simulate.

[missshevaughn]

Somebody better take me to the medical tent, and get me some B12 and orange slices cause I'm freaking out. For serious...

[henrytdsimmons]

So pointless but so cool

[vdentello]

1:28 is so Mario!

[SuperMarioZombies]

very cool useless toy. I want one.

[eFlare1]

This has RATATAT written all over it

[jharri1]

Ooh! The Police! very nie Andy!

[tonylamosa3]

Get Down, Make Love, From Queen!

[jharri1]

Andy rules! I think this pedal is based on a broken DOD delay I once had! lol!

[DarrenDoo]

I came back to this demo to tickle my brain.

[jazzmaster341]

Finally! The Flaming Lips in a box!

[cjdavda]

Not only Hendrix but using tones like the one at 1:50 I imagine Page would have a ball as well (Immediately thought of Dazed and Confused)

[danakerman]

@cjdavda ooooohhhhh hooked up to a Theremin, and a tape delay, this could do some really cool stuff!!!

[jfrizzlle]

Only Earthquaker.......

[eventidewinds]

i have synths for that kind of effects....useless pedal

[Aerosmitty77]

Don't let The Edge get ahold of this!

[wedontknowone1]

I'm tripping!!! Ha sounds cool though

[weakeen]

sounds amazing! it reminds me the Clockwork orange OST

[carswell98]

So useless. So awesome.

[FilmPriest]

This is really cool :D

[aSimionescu]

Do I hear Dun - Arrakis (zeuhl album called Eros) at 1:30 and forward ???

[lioneye66SID]

hahaha double rainbow guy at end

that made this video go from badass to epic

[danakerman]

Most amazing pedal I've ever heard

[adriantrackssongs]

Double rainbow all the way.

[PRSpl4yer]

You should hook two of them together. DOUBLE RAINBOW!

[PRSpl4yer]

Theres something very Tangerine Dream about this pedal.

[aeropagitica]

It sounds like whales calling to each other!

[EpictheEpicest]

It's a cool pedal, but I can't actually see anyone using the extreme layering effects in a song except someone who writes music for revivals of 80s video games. I'm not even sure if anyone could play this for more than 10 minutes, I'd have nightmares after playing it.

[danakerman]

@EpictheEpicest You kidding? I could totally see Radiohead using something like this. Listen to some of the guitar effects on every album since Kid A, and you hear some pretty incredible, wild stuff.

[EpictheEpicest]

@danakerman maybe, but I hate radiohead.

[Draalnexa]

me wantz it

[SasaYamaoka]

This is so fantastic and refreshing

[topdog2328]

im gonna need some extra mana potions for this pedal

[zeLudoo]

I don't know why, but I find this video really creepy. :o

[starblaster77]

I heard this all day before I knew this was invented. Awesome

[Nextel025]

So awesome and pointless, love it.

[wairuauriaw]

oh no.., no no no,, thats just wrong

[6730]

Damn I wonder how this would sound in the fx loop of a skreddy echo or solidgold fx electroman.

[Desmaad]

You think Radiohead might be interested?

[Desmaad]

Sounds like an acid trip gone haywire.

[Jeromealphonsuslee]

This was the first thing i heard when i came home drunk last night. Gave me a hell of a headache.

[AvonJunkies]

Holy balls

[totalignoranceinc]

i have shitty beringer reverb that does the same thing the magic button does buti i really want the sounds you had with the slab back riff and synchisity

[Jungleboy867]

that is so stupid, yet I want it so badly

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

I have no idea how I could make some nice sounds with this pedal because I suck to hard on the guitar

[geetarplayer11]

I must be on shrooms right now... no way is a pedal doing that.

[SingleCoilVoodoo]

Uhhhmmmmm....huh. Uhhhhh....yep.
