Earthquaker Devices Dunes V2 Mini Mega Ultimate Overdrive
by EarthQuaker Devices
The Dunes is a condensed version of our highly popular Palisades; a heavily featured take on the classic 808 overdrive. It features the same Gain, Tone and Level controls along with our favorite voice and bandwidth settings as well as the Normal/Bright toggle. The selectable voices are: MOSFET for a tight crunchy sound (Setting 3 on the Palisades), Silicon for the classic 808 sound (Setting 5 on the Palisades) and None which goes from clean boost to gritty, pure opamp distortion with a massive volume boost (Setting 1 on the Palisades). The two bandwidth settings are stock for the classic tone (Setting 3 on the Palisades) and full range for more low end (Setting 5 on the Palisades). The Dunes has all the great tone of the big boy Palisades but with a simplified interface and a smaller footprint!
Controls:
- Gain: Adjusts the drive, dirtier clockwise, cleaner counter-clockwise
- Tone: Brighter clockwise, warmer counter-clockwise
- Level: Sets the output level
- Normal/bright: Normal is a warm full tone, bright is livelier tone with more chime
- Bandwidth: Left is brighter with more emphasis on the mids, right is full range for more low end
- Voice: MF-MOSFET diode clipping, N-No diode clipping, Si-Silicon diode clipping
