Best Ambient Sound in the EarthQuaker Devices Rainbow Machine

So it just kind of swells in and then you know accentuates certain phrases and I really like that. Now on its own it might be a bit too dramatic and a...

Rainbow Machine Review Earthquaker Devices

So I thought what would be interesting is to take two musicians, two bass players and see what they do with this pedal and how different their approac...

One trick pony but a pretty cool trick. Great chorus too actually.

Great chorus. Unique tones. How useful is it….? Egh I suppose it can be. It has incredible chorus abilities. It has uniqueness for sure. And I’m still finding sounds that are useful however it’s somewhat a one trick pony. Not that it’s trick is bad but its definitely a right time right place type of...

First off, I’m a big fan of Earthquaker devices and even Akron, Ohio (go rubber city). Unfortunately, the Rainbow Machine is a lackluster pedal. It makes a plethora of sounds, most of which are useless, or unpleasant. I was hoping to be thrilled with this pedal. I was wrong.

Best special effects pedal ever!!

Yes, this pedal can do musical effects that are usable, but everyone knows the real reason you get this pedal. The usable musical effects done by this pedal can be achieved to a greater extent by a more specified pedal, this pedal is called the "Rainbow Machine", listen to the name. It is specified ...

Terrific Unwieldy Machine

Although the Rainbow Machine can get a little out of control, I absolutely love the trill that I can get from this pedal. I use it for a doubling industrial effect, but I’m sure you can find your own sound in there. This pedal will provide a variety of modulations over time with the same settings, w...

GREATEST!PEDAL!EVERRRRR!MAGIC!!!! Watch some YouTube demonstrations, I can dial in awesome slapback chorus tones all the way to WTF is this tones.

One of my absolute favorite pedals I own

Absolutely worth every penny. Built extremely well. Awesome looking. Sounds like it was made for some Pink Floyd type craziness. Earthquaker Devices are an awesome company with some of the greatest pedals out there. You won’t regret any of them.

Earthquaker makes some really great stuff. This particular device has expanded my psychedelic palette significantly. If you enjoy noodling with spacey sounds into the wee hours then this is your ticket!

This is seriously the coolest guitar pedal I’ve ever owned! It can be very subtle and ethereal, but it can also get insanely psychedelic. You won’t find another pedal that sounds like this
