General
The Levitation Reverb by Earthquaker Devices owes its name to the LEVITATION Fest in Austin, Texas. Each year, this psychedelic rock festival is packed with bands that like their spaced out reverb. This stomp box is based on the Ghost Echo pedal, but kicks it up a notch, allowing for a vintage reverb that brings back the Sixties. Compact, yet ever so versatile, the Levitation Reverb allows for room, spring and plate reverbs. From slapbacks to ambient verbs, it'll do it all. Finally, using the four simple control knobs, you can adjust atmosphere, decay, mix and tone.
Earthquaker Devices
The American company Earthquaker Devices originated in 2004, more or less by accident. When devoted musician Jamie Stillman broke one of the potentiometers on his favourite overdrive pedal, he decided to fix it himself. Once he opened up the pedal, he quickly got the hang of the circuitry, which induced him to start creating his own stomp boxes. Stillman turned out to be very talented, and it wasn't long before other musicians started using his pedals. In 2005, he launched Earthquaker Devices, which by now has grown into a sizeable company that manufactures handwired, boutique-style guitar effect pedals for a very reasonable price. Built by musicians, for musicians!
