The design is Fuzz Face inspired, and the idea started when Jamie Stillman came across some very unique silicon transistors. These transistors are lower gain and have a warmth similar to germanium transistors when overdriven. But they also have the top-end grind typical of silicon-based fuzz pedals, which adds to the mids and helps cut through. The combination of these rare transistors and the starved voltage creates a wide variety of textures at the turn of a knob. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/brGyKLbLYco\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first Dirt Transmitters started shipping in January of 2008, and these original units were housed in a small enclosure with only three controls: \u003cem\u003eFuzz\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTone\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLevel\u003c\/em\u003e. Shortly after the release, Jamie decided to add the external \u003cem\u003eBias\u003c\/em\u003e control, which opened up the circuit and brought it to life. By varying the \u003cem\u003eBias\u003c\/em\u003e the transistor is starved of voltage. The Dirt Transmitter is properly biased when the \u003cem\u003eBias\u003c\/em\u003e control is all the way up; when turning it down, the voltage is starved, and the fuzz tone becomes gated. This produces a sputtery ripping velcro tone that increases in character as you roll it back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/57cebe2c03596e075fca5f24\/aaad00ae-45d4-41d3-8299-9c2dc58c6c6f\/Rancho-de-la-Luna-Dirt-Transmitter-Photo-by-Dalton-Blanco-2.jpg?format=2500w\" alt=\"\" width=\"738\" height=\"738\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\n          accordion-item__title-wrapper\n          \n          \n          \n        \" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"accordion-item__click-target\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"dropdown-block-a98d9f740d192af5e2b6-0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion-item__title\"\u003eTECH SPECS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-icon-container\" data-is-open=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"plus__horizontal-line\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"plus__vertical-line\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"dropdown-block-a98d9f740d192af5e2b6-0\" class=\"accordion-item__dropdown accordion-item__dropdown--open\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"button-block-a98d9f740d192af5e2b6-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\n            accordion-item__description\n            \n            \n            \n          \"\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.75 x 2.50 x 2.25 in.

We 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. \u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eArtwork by \u003ca tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mikeeganart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMike Egan\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Earthquaker devices","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53125662114131,"sku":"210000007091","price":219.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/image001.jpg?v=1772281781","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/earthquaker-devices-dirt-transmitter-rancho-de-la-luna-limited-edition","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
