Silos
Silos™ Multi-Generational Time Reflection Device
Operating Instructions
Hey there, fellow Time Travelers! Were you tired of trying to fit all of your favorite delays onto
your already overflowing pedalboard? Did you constantly have trouble choosing just one pedal
to serve as the catalyst of your echo-centric musings? Had you wished that a pedal company
would give you more bang for your buck by merging multiple classic delay effects into one
simple little box? Well hold on to your whammy bar, because your problems are solved now
that you've acquired the new Silos™ Tri-Voice Time Navigator!
That's right, we've taken a digital delay, an analog delay, and a tape delay and merged them all
together as one pedal with six presets, a tap-tempo, and user assignable expression control.
Take a moment to compose yourself, we totally understand. Let us give you a little backstory: it
all started when EQD founder Jamie Stillman was admiring his three favorite delay pedals from
his personal collection and began ruminating on their vast differences. This sparked an
ambitious foray into uncharted territory in finding a way to assemble them all together as one
uncomplicated unit. After months of tinkering, his mission was accomplished and the Silos™ was
born. With just four knobs, one three-way switch, one Save/Recall button, and two
footswitches, he made the impossible possible and now your guitar playing shall reap the
rewards!
Each of the three modes offers up to one second of delay time which allows it to be a longer
delay than our other delay pedals. From noon and back is 500 milliseconds to zero, which has its
own character. From 500 milliseconds to one second of delay time, it's an entirely different
beast. Dial them in for shorter delay times where they really excel and add loads of atmosphere
and vibes. Push them further for rhythmic delays that are perfect for strumming and adding
extra ambiance for your riffs. And the tap tempo is truly precise and responsive so you can lock
in your rate quickly within the first revolutions.
Now we don't want to insult you by gear-splaining delays or anything, but we'd be remiss to not
dish on some unique differences of each mode.
