Just ordered the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master for the 4th or 5th time Video added 11/28/25

I love Reverb/Delay pedals in the loop of my tube amps that combine reverb/delay.

I am running 3 Friedman Tube amps (Little Sister, Pink Taco V2 and a JJ Jr.) and needed some ambience.

I currently have a Boss DD8 which does have a reverb/delay setting, but I am not overly thrilled with the tone of the pedal, it is passable, but not great.
I also have a MXR Carbon Copy Mini which is just a delay pedal that I use out front of the amp on my pedalboard with modulation for some clean rhythm playing once in a while, but I don't like analog delays as much as digital, analog seems to color the tone more.

I also have some lower priced delay pedals (Donner Yellow Fall Analog Delay & Donner Wave Digital Delay) that sound surprisingly good, but they are not reverb/delay pedals.
The Yellow Fall is a good analog delay, but again I like digital better.
The Wave does not have reverb, so I needed an alternative.

So, for the 4th or 5th time I ordered the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master.
I remember it being a very easy to dial in pedal that can be used reverb or delay together or separately.
I am usually a set it and forget it type player and I remember it having a great ambience that fattened up my sound without coloring my tone.

I will post a review as soon as it gets here.

Please share your experience as I also play a Les Paull R9 and I’m looking for a high-end combo reverb/delay pedal for the effects loop on my Bogner amp that is easy to use (set it & forget it).

There is nothing easier to use than the Dispatch Master, I use the same setting all the time for ambience and to fatten up the sound.
If you would like I can try to throw together a quick youtube video of it for you and post it up in this thread.

I can use my Soldano Astro 20 as that is probably closer to your Bogner than my Friedman JEL-20.
I can use it wth cleans and gain and different Delay/Reverb Settings.

I am babysitting 2 dogs and my dog, hopefully they don't bark.

Also, I have it on most of my YouTube videos, if you search HowieJams Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master on YouTube you will hear it in the background of the videos.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. No hurry today on the YouTube video but if you decide to put something together over the weekend, that would be awesome.

I just bought a Bogner JB45, which is a three channel head that ranges from clean and Plexi tones to moderate gain & brown sound. Therefore, I’m looking for a reverb and delay panel that can span a range of guitar signals/sounds.

Its a beautiful pedal, lifer for sure.

I love mine and have had it in the loop of my Friedman JJ 100 forever. I tried many, but this was the most transparent and easy to dial in. If it broke, I'd buy another! The way I set it is with a little delay and a little reverb. Just enough to touch up my sound but not so much to be very obvious if that makes sense. Another way to put it is that you won't really notice it when it's off, but you will when it's on.

I will definitely do that, I will start with clean, then do plexi, and then the two high gain tones. No backing track to clutter it up, just guitar amp and pedal.
I will show the pedal settings also.

I will let you know when it will be on youtube

Absolutely, great pedal that can do reverb and delay or both separately unlike other delays such as....
My Boss DD8 I can do without, but the Dispatch Master is great.
I do like my MXR Carbon Copy mini delay also.

Your last statement sums it up perfectly, it just fattens up the sound.

Yep Great pedal. Love it!! So easy to use and sounds great.
