EarthQuaker Devices Spatial Delivery Sample & Hold Envelope Filter V3

The Spatial Delivery is an oddball, a voltage controlled envelope filter that allows you to step outside the universe of funk while reinforcing your secret love affair with auto-wah. This baby has three modes with the switchable Up Sweep, Down Sweep, and Sample & Hold functions, along with Range, Resonance and Filter controls. Get some wild filter sweeps with the Up and Down modes and adjust the Range to control the sensitivity and reaction time of the envelope, which alters the width of the frequency sweep. Reign in the controls a bit, add your favorite overdrive/fuzz after the Spatial Delivery and you’ve got a real nice resonant, cut-through-the-mix lead tone.

We took the already cosmic, original Spatial Delivery and added six available preset slots for you to store your preferred settings. Even the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots so that the signature sounds you dial in are readily available with a quick tap of the switch. Save your settings confidently on the go thanks to the two modes indicated by the LED Save/Recall switch.

Global Features

Presets

Spatial Delivery has six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings. The settings for each of the three controls, the Mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.

Operating Modes

Spatial Delivery has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the Save/Recall switch LED. In Live mode, the pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. In Preset mode, stored presets, including expression pedal mapping, are selected using the Preset switch, and the physical settings of the controls will be ignored. It’s never been easier to switch between Live and Preset modes on the fly, vastly expanding your sonic cosmos - no bending down required!

User-Assignable Expression Control

Use any TRS expression pedal to take control over the Range, Resonance or Filter controls.

Controls

Mode Toggle: Toggles between Upward Sweep, Downward Sweep or Sample & Hold.

Range: Adjusts the sensitivity of the envelope in Up and Down mode. In Sample & Hold mode, this controls the speed.

Filter: Crossfades between high pass and low pass filters and allows you to get everything in between. High pass is fully counterclockwise, low pass is full clockwise and center is band pass. This is much more useful than a simple switch you would typically find on a multi-mode because it allows you to blend the filters for different sounds!

Resonance: This is the filter feedback control, it adds more body and ring to the filter voice.

Presets: Six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings! The settings for each of the three controls, the Mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.

Flexi-Switch® Technology

This device features Flexi-Switch® Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.

• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.

• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.

Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal.

Power

This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. 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. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
