Music store guy saw them at NAMM and is really stoked about them. Store doesn't carry so he is working out a dealership thing.

Re: anyone have foot on experience with Earthquaker Devices?
Great pedals, I have 1) Dispatch Master (interactive reverb/delay); and 2) Tone Reaper (Tone Bender style fuzz, with very usable EQ). I've also played with a number of their pedals at Spindrift guitars in New London, CT (including the Disaster Transport).
I would say that the trick with EQD pedals is to try them, and see if you can get usable sounds - it seems that all their pedals do something to the extreme, which leads to crazy sounds, but not so much to general utility across a variety of songs. What they do, though, they do to the max and it feels worth the asking price just to have that effect somewhere in the studio for when it's "just the thing"!
My bottom line: great pedals, try them, you'll know when it's something you need!

I have the Afterneath, which is an insane ambient reverb/delay. Once I heard it, I had to have it.

I have a Tone Reaper and it's great. That early Zep/Ziggy sound is a classic and I figured that everybody should have a 'Bender of some sort around. Vintage purists can really go down the rabbit hole where TB's are concerned, but the Reaper is a no-fuss Bender with modern features and convenience. That's sort of EQD's bag... vintage sounds taken a step (or several steps) into the future. Good build quality, but not really expensive compared to many booteek pedals.
I also have a pair of EQD octo-skull swag bags that my friend Mike brought me back from NAMM a couple years ago. They make me the coolest dude at Aldi's when it's time to buy some groceries.

I love my EQ devices Transmisser. It's a modulated reverb. Very very spacey sounds, does shoegazey type stuff well. A lot of control over reverb tails, decays.

EQD pedals are top-shelf in quality and popularity in an increasingly competitive pedals market. They're up there with Catalinbread, Wampler, etc. They are a good bet for a dealer to carry because the visual design is striking and the pedals are fairly unique. They're not trying to compete in already crowded spaces like "Marshall in a box", "Tube Screamer clone", "Klone", etc.
I have a Hoof. Tremendously flexible fuzz that could stand in for a distortion pedal; I'm not sure I'm a fuzz guy, though. I have a reverb fiend friend who swears by the Dispatch Master. The Acapulco Gold V2 is high on my list, as I'm curious about the cranked Sunn flavor without having to actually get a Sunn.

They just released a delay pedal called the Space Spiral which looks and sounds awesome. I'm totally happy with my Boss Space Echo but after seeing that I starting thinking.....
