EarthQuaker Devices Silos Multi-Delay Pedal – New

The EarthQuaker Devices Silos is a compact multi-delay pedal combining three classic delay styles: Digital, Analog and Tape.

Each mode offers up to one second of delay time, while six onboard presets, tap tempo and assignable expression control make Silos flexible enough for live performance without becoming overly complicated.

From clean rhythmic repeats and warm analogue echoes to darker tape-style ambience and self-oscillating textures, Silos covers a huge amount of ground in a small footprint.

Three Delay Modes

Digital
Bright, clear and articulate repeats that retain definition as they decay.

Ideal for:

• Rhythmic delay

• Precise echoes

• Clean lead sounds

• Spacious ambience

Analog
Darker, warmer and more mid-focused, with repeats that progressively degrade.

Turn the Repeats control higher and Analog mode can move into self-oscillation.

Tape
A warm, atmospheric delay voice inspired by vintage echo units, with a darker and more textured character.

Tape mode can also be pushed into self-oscillation for experimental feedback effects.

Up to One Second of Delay

All three modes provide up to 1 second of delay time.

Shorter settings work well for:

• Slapback

• Doubling

• Thickening

• Short ambient echoes

Longer settings are ideal for:

• Rhythmic delay

• Ambient textures

• Post-rock

• Psychedelic sounds

• Spacious lead playing

Six Presets

Silos provides six onboard preset locations.

Presets can store:

• Time

• Repeats

• Mix

• Delay mode

• Expression assignment

This makes it easy to move between very different delay sounds during a set.

Tap Tempo

A dedicated Tap Tempo footswitch lets you match the delay time to the tempo of a song without adjusting the Time control manually.

This is particularly useful for rhythmic delay patterns and live performance.

Assignable Expression Control

Connect a compatible TRS expression pedal and assign it to control:

• Time

• Repeats

• Mix

This allows real-time manipulation of the effect, from delay-time sweeps to mix fades and controlled feedback.

Delay Trails

Silos uses buffered bypass with trails, allowing existing repeats to fade naturally when the pedal is bypassed rather than cutting off abruptly.

Fair Deal Music Verdict

The EarthQuaker Devices Silos is a great choice for players who want several classic delay sounds without needing a large multi-effects unit.

Digital mode gives you clean and precise repeats, Analog delivers darker and progressively degrading echoes, while Tape provides warmer vintage-style ambience.

Add six presets, tap tempo and assignable expression control, and Silos becomes a very capable live-performance delay while still remaining straightforward to use.

For players who want digital clarity, analogue warmth and tape-style character in one compact pedal, Silos offers a lot of flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
