Hey buddy! Welcome to your new Avalanche Run
Avalanche Run was developed with one goal in mind: to take the floating ambient tones of our
Dispatch Master to the next level while still keeping it user friendly and refined. Taking you into the
aural exploratorium without having to break open the user manual every time you want to open
up your inner eye and get free is no easy task. We are using a high powered proprietary DSP
platform to recreate all the characteristics of all our old favorite delay and reverb machines while
still retaining a simple, yet flexible workspace. It has been a long time coming but well worth the
wait! Enough bullshit, let's talk about the damn pedal!
The Avalanche Run is a dreamy sonic discovery device with up to 2 seconds of delay time and a
lush stereo reverb. It features complete control over delay time, repeats, mix and voice (with the
tone control), as well as control over the reverb length and mix. It can run in one of 3 different modes:
Normal, Reverse and Swell. In "Normal" mode, the Avalanche Run functions as a straightforward
delay and reverb. In "Reverse" mode, the delay line is in reverse and the reverb remains in normal
mode. In "Swell" mode, the Avalanche Run reacts to your picking dynamics and adds a volume
swell to the entire signal path much like manually raising and lowering the volume of your guitar.
The Avalanche Run features an expression jack that can be assigned to one of six different controls
using the "EXP" selector switch. It also features Tap Tempo with six different ratios accessed
via the "Ratio" selector switch. The Avalanche Run can also be run in "True Bypass" mode or
"Buffered Bypass" mode for trails and features 5 different tail lengths including "Infinite" for lo-fi
and continuously degrading pseudo-looping.

1
Time: This controls the delay time and goes from 0ms to just under 2000ms.
2
Repeats: Controls the regeneration of the delay, from zero repeats to near infinite.
3
Tone: Controls the tone for the delay line only. Roll off highs to the left, roll off lows to the right
and get a flat response in the middle.
4
Mix: The is the volume control for the delay line. This blends in the wet with dry until 1 o'clock,
1 o'clock to 3 o'clock boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 o'clock up brings down dry until
it is fully wet when all the way up.
5
Expression Jack Assign Switch: Use this switch to map the expression jack to one of the
assigned controls.
• Decay: Controls the reverb decay length
• R Mix: Controls the reverb mix
• Time: This takes over for the delay time control and is DRASTICALLY different than the
interface control. Using the expression pedal to control the time will give you all kinds of
wild effects that can not be achieved by turning the knob.
• Repeats: Controls the delay repeats
• D Mix: Controls the delay mix
• Toggle: This takes over for the toggle switch and will cross fade from forward delay in heel
down position to reverse delay in toe down position.
6
Ratio Selector Switch: Selects delay subdivisions when time is set by the "Tap" switch.
• 1/1: Quarter Note
• 3/4: Dotted 8th
• 2/3: Quarter Note Triplet
• 1/2: 8th Note
• 1/3: 8th Note Triplet
6
• 1/4: 16th Note
7
Decay: Controls the decay length of the reverb, short decay counterclockwise, long cavernous
decay clockwise.
8
Toggle Switch (Mode Selector)
Both: This is the "standard" delay and reverb mode
Reverse: This is reverse delay mode with "standard" reverb
Swell: This is the volume swell modew
9
Mix: This is the volume control for the reverb. Blends in the wet with dry until 1 O'clock, 1
O'clock to 3 O'clock boosts the wet signal over the dry and 3 O'clock up brings down dry until
it is fully wet when all the way up.
