EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master Review

Built for versatility, the Dispatch Master reverb offers up to 1.5 seconds of pristine delay and a massive reverb that can go from light and airy to fully immersive. You can use both effects together or separately, giving you endless creative possibilities. The relay-based soft-touch switch is quiet and comfortable, while the Flexi-switch feature lets you use it in momentary or latching operation. This pedal is designed to inspire, whether on stage or in the studio.

Unlike some delay pedals that degrade over time, the EQD Dispatch Master pedal review shows that it maintains crystal-clear repeats, even when pushed to infinity. The reverb is equally impressive, delivering everything from subtle room sounds to cavernous, ethereal swells. And with top-mounted jacks, it seamlessly fits into any pedalboard setup. This powerhouse pedal packs two essential effects into a single, easy-to-use unit.

What Is the Difference Between the Earthquaker Devices Afterneath vs Dispatch Master

The Afterneath creates surreal, modulated reverb with cascading reflections, which is great for ambient and experimental sounds. The Dispatch Master offers lush, traditional reverb and clear digital delay, perfect for classic tones.

What Is the Difference Between the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run vs Dispatch Master?

The Avalanche Run is a stereo reverb and delay with tap tempo, modulation, and multiple reverb modes, making it more versatile and feature-rich. The Dispatch Master is a simpler, more compact pedal with a single high-quality reverb and delay that can be used together or separately.

What Is the Difference Between the Dispatch Master V1 vs V2 vs V3?

The differences between the EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master V1, V2, and V3 are mainly in functionality and build quality:

• V1: The original version had the same core reverb and delay sounds but lacked silent switching.
• V2: Introduced EarthQuaker’s relay-based soft-touch switching for silent operation and improved durability.
• V3: Added the Flexi-switch, allowing both momentary and latching operations for more control.

All Dispatch Master versions sound the same, but V3 offers the most flexibility and smoothest switching.

Is the Dispatch Master a Spring Reverb? What Kind of Reverb Is the Dispatch Master?

No, the Dispatch Master does not use a spring reverb. It features a digital hall-style reverb designed for lush, ambient soundscapes rather than the short, bouncy character of a traditional spring reverb.

Can Dispatch Master Do Dotted 8th?

No, the Dispatch Master settings do not feature tap tempo or subdivisions, so it can’t automatically set a dotted 8th delay. However, you can manually dial in the delay time to approximate it. If you’re looking for a pedal with Dispatch Master tap tempo functionality, the Avalanche Run would be a better choice.
