EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master V3
The EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master is a digital delay and reverb unit with an all analogue direct signal path and true bypass switching. Its intuitive control set has made it a global favourite.
Both effects can be run separately or in unison.
Even though it is a DSP-based effect, the sound is warm and full. No sterile lifeless tones here!
It features a dynamic reverb that goes from natural and roomy to cavernous and deep.
The delay is up to 1.5 seconds and a dialled-in delay repeats control delivers anything between a single echo to infinite repeats.
And all without unpleasant digital artefacts or runaway self-oscillation.
Popular “Always On” pedal
Its simplicity has made it a popular “always-on” effect for players who want to add a touch of ambience and slap-back to their clean tone.
Its lush ambient sounds make it a perfect fit for modern and experimental players.
The smaller and more modern answer to our well-loved limited run Ghost Disaster from 2010!
The delay signal is clear and strong with no after effects or signal degradation and the repeats decay into a nice ambient swell with no oscillation.
The reverb is MASSIVE and is sure to please those who love our Ghost Echo but want more depth and less artefacts. The perfect “Black Hole Ambience Generator”!

An all-time EarthQuaker Devices favourite just got even better!
The Dispatch Master In Use
Dynamic Reverb & Delay
The pedal’s reverb ranges from a subtle, natural sound to a rich, cavernous depth, making it adaptable to any musical style. The 1.5 second delay ensures your sound stays lush and captivating without unwanted noise or digital distortions.
Intuitive Controls
The layout is ingenious, allowing settings to be easily tweaked. The Repeats control goes from a single echo to endless repeats, without the issues of digital artefacts or feedback loops.
Standard Effect
To use the Dispatch Master V3 as a standard effects pedal, press the switch once to activate the effect, and press again to bypass.
For momentary operation, press and hold the footswitch, and the Dispatch Master will remain active for as long as the switch is held.
Once the switch is released, the effect is bypassed.
Reverb Only
To use as a reverb only, turn the time control all the way down and adjust the reverb and mix controls to taste.
In this mode, the repeats control can be used to enhance the thickness, decay, depth and overall nature of the reverb.
With the reverb control at its maximum setting, the repeat control will gradually overload the effect at higher settings.
Delay Only
To use as a delay only, turn the reverb control all the way down and adjust the time, repeats and mix controls to taste.
To use both effects in unison, adjust all controls to taste.

Understanding the Silent Soft-Touch and True Bypass Switching on the Dispatch Master V3
Silent Soft-Touch Activation
Simply tap the footswitch once, and the effect instantly engages. Thanks to the silent soft-touch mechanism, there’s no audible click, ensuring seamless integration into your sound.
Momentary Activation
For those moments when you need just a quick splash of effect, the momentary feature comes in handy. Press and hold the footswitch. As soon as you release the switch, the effect gradually fades out.
True Bypass Functionality
When it’s time to return to your unaltered signal, one more tap of the footswitch takes you there. The true bypass design ensures that your original tone remains unaffected.
This versatile switching systemis great for both planned performances and spontaneous ad libbing.
