The EarthQuaker Devices Rancho De La Luna Dirt Transmitter is a limited-edition fuzz pedal infused with the unmistakable sonic DNA of the legendary Rancho De La Luna studio. Co-designed by EarthQuaker Devices and studio founder David Catching, this one-of-a-kind fuzz box captures the gritty magic that’s shaped records from Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, and countless desert rock legends.
Vintage-Inspired Fuzz with a Psychedelic Twist
At its core, the Rancho De La Luna Dirt Transmitter is a reimagining of EarthQuaker’s classic Dirt Transmitter fuzz—known for its responsive, thick fuzz tones. But this version goes further, tweaked to deliver the warm, saturated, and wildly expressive textures that define the Rancho sound. Whether you’re chasing gritty stoner rock saturation or silky sustain for spaced-out leads, this pedal delivers with effortless character.
Studio-Tuned for Rich, Organic Tone
Crafted with David Catching’s guidance and fine-tuned in the actual Rancho De La Luna studio, this fuzz is designed to sit beautifully in a mix. The Bias control allows for anything from sputtery, gated breakup to full-bodied, classic fuzz bliss—making it a versatile tool for any guitarist or producer chasing that raw, analog fuzz sound.
Built Like a Tank in Akron, Ohio
As with all EarthQuaker Devices, the Rancho De La Luna Dirt Transmitter is hand-assembled in Akron, Ohio using high-quality components. It’s housed in a rugged metal chassis with artwork inspired by the Mojave desert aesthetic, designed by frequent EQD collaborator Matt Horak. This pedal doesn’t just sound vintage—it looks like it belongs in a dusty desert studio full of tube amps and tape machines.
Key Features
Limited Edition: Exclusive run with unique artwork and studio-specific voicing
Bias Control: Shape your fuzz from gated sputter to velvety saturation
True Bypass: Preserves your signal when disengaged
Handmade in the USA: Built with care and attention to sonic detail
Studio-Tuned: Co-designed and dialed in at Rancho De La Luna
Perfect For
Desert rock, stoner rock, psych, garage, and experimental fuzz tones
Players looking for character-rich fuzz with real-world musicality
Producers and studio heads who want a fuzz pedal that cuts in a mix without overpowering
Final Thoughts
The Rancho De La Luna Dirt Transmitter isn’t just a fuzz pedal—it’s a piece of recording history in a stompbox. If you’ve ever wanted the sound of the California desert under your fingers, this is it. Grab one while you can—these won’t be around forever.
