{"product_id":"earthquaker-silos-delay-397390","title":"Silos Delay","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThree generations of delay combined: Jamie Stillman's \"simple\" idea\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silos was born from a very practical observation: why choose between a precise digital delay, a warm analog delay, and a dark, textured tape delay when you can combine these three signatures in a single pedalboard format? EarthQuaker Devices therefore designed a \"multi-generational\" delay with intentionally straightforward ergonomics: a few essential controls, a mode selector, preset access, and two footswitches designed for real-world playing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result: a pedal that covers the essential delay tones most used in studio and on stage, without forcing you to stack multiple units or spend time navigating menus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for and what it's for: from tight riffs to cinematic ambient\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EarthQuaker Devices Silos is aimed both at guitarists (and bassists) who want \u003cstrong\u003ea versatile main delay\u003c\/strong\u003e and at already-equipped musicians looking for a \u003cstrong\u003ecompact delay\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of multiple roles. Beginners will appreciate the immediate ease of use, while experienced players will exploit the presets, tap-tempo, and expression control to automate transitions live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, it excels in a wide variety of styles: \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e (slapback, short echoes), \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epost-rock\u003c\/strong\u003e (patterned repeats), \u003cstrong\u003eshoegaze\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eambient\u003c\/strong\u003e (dark textures and soundscapes), as well as \u003cstrong\u003emodern pop\u003c\/strong\u003e (tempo-synced delays, synchronized parts). On a pedalboard, the Silos can become the \"all-round\" delay that follows your set, from bright clean tones to massive saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, presets, Live\/Preset modes: a true stage pedal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silos gets straight to the point with \u003cstrong\u003efour controls\u003c\/strong\u003e and a playing logic designed for musicians: \u003cstrong\u003eMix\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the effect level, \u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the delay time from 0 to 1 second, and \u003cstrong\u003eRepeats\u003c\/strong\u003e controls the regeneration (feedback). A \u003cstrong\u003e3-position selector\u003c\/strong\u003e immediately places you in the Digital (D), Analog (A), or Tape (T) universe. Added to this is a \u003cstrong\u003erotary Preset selector\u003c\/strong\u003e (6 slots) and a \u003cstrong\u003eSave\/Recall button\u003c\/strong\u003e to store and retrieve your settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pedal offers two global modes: \u003cstrong\u003eLive\u003c\/strong\u003e (it follows the exact position of the knobs) and \u003cstrong\u003ePreset\u003c\/strong\u003e (it recalls saved sounds, ignoring the physical position of the potentiometers). This is ideal for switching from a verse with short echoes to a bigger chorus without adjusting settings. The \u003cstrong\u003etap-tempo\u003c\/strong\u003e is managed by a dedicated footswitch: tap to lock the delay time and keep your playing locked with the drummer or a sequencer. Note: tap-tempo overrides Time as soon as it is entered, and Time regains control as soon as you turn the knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor foot control, the \u003cstrong\u003eFlexi-Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e toggling allows for \u003cstrong\u003elatching\u003c\/strong\u003e operation (classic on\/off) or \u003cstrong\u003emomentary\u003c\/strong\u003e (active only while holding the switch). A huge advantage for triggering a \"spot\" echo phrase, a build-up, or a fill without changing your base sound. Finally, the Silos features \u003cstrong\u003ebuffered bypass with \"tails\"\u003c\/strong\u003e: repeats can continue naturally after bypass, and power is required to pass the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eD Mode (Digital Delay)\u003c\/strong\u003e: clear, precise, with repeats that can seem very long while maintaining great clarity. Echoes retain fidelity, then gradually soften in the highs with each repeat: perfect for synchronized parts, clean picking, or rhythmic delays that stay \"clean\" in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Mode (Analog Delay)\u003c\/strong\u003e: warmer, more mid-focused, with a progressive degradation that naturally darkens the repeats. Excellent on clean tones for thickening without harshness, and formidable with distortion or overdrive: it sits in the mids with musical presence, avoiding the excess highs that can make a delay shrill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT Mode (Tape Delay)\u003c\/strong\u003e: dark, textured, with an \"old school\" feel and tape-style artifacts. Repeats become more blurred and can get dirty, with slight distortion depending on your attack level: play harder, and the grain reveals itself more. This is a fantastic mode for melancholic atmospheres, cinematic intros, and delays that blend into thick saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the time control sweep is particularly expressive: \u003cstrong\u003efrom the mid position down to zero\u003c\/strong\u003e, you are in a range up to 500 milliseconds with its own character (ideal for slapbacks and tight placements). \u003cstrong\u003eFrom 500 milliseconds to 1 second\u003c\/strong\u003e, the pedal opens another territory, better suited for rhythmic patterns and repeats that structure a riff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
