In early 2023, Jamie Stillman was invited by legendary guitarist and producer Dave Catching to record at Rancho De La Luna for an album celebrating the studio's 30th anniversary. Dave- founding member of earthlings? and Eagles Of Death Metal and Queens Of The Stone Age- has been a longtime supporter of Earthquaker Devices. Jamie eagerly joined the session, using the Dirt Transmitter on many tracks to great response from the crew. Following the session, plans emerged to reissue the Dirt Transmitter in conjunction with the album. Dave suggested Ohio-based artist Mike Egan for special Rancho-themed artwork- an ideal match, as Mike lives near EQD's headquarters. The collaboration came together naturally. The Dirt Transmitter, one of EQD's earliest circuits, debuted in 2008. Fuzz Face-inspired and built around rare low-gain silicon transistors, it blends germanium warmth with silicon's gritty top-end. Originally released with Fuzz, Tone and Level controls, it alter added am externa. Bias control to starve voltage and create a gated, sputtery velctro fuzz. Discontinued in 2017, it returns now for a special release. The Dirt Transmitter- Rancho De La Luna Limited Edition.
