at 0:44 secounds you can see it

"I’ve got the TC delay prior to it as well, so basically, they feed into each other. You kick this Rainbow Machine on and it does random things. There’s something to be said about it that I really dig, for that element of surprise."

"You can't even imagine the sounds #rainbowmachine" Paramore posts.

On this video at 0:46, Mike Shinoda use this pedal for creating samples.

Tiny Telephone’s outboard racks are stuffed with effects, but when it’s time to get hands-on during a mix, Vanderslice patches in one of the “dozens and dozens and dozens” of EarthQuaker Devices at his disposal. “I use this at least once a record, if not more,” he says, cradling a Rainbow Machine. “Oh yeah, we’re gonna have fun.”

In his studio, 2018

"Dude knows his stuff. And his tone? Fantastic. Utilizing a host of pedals–including a silver box Klon Centaur and an Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine–and an older Tone King Meteor powered by a quartet of 6V6s, Benji culled some breath taking sounds out of his choice vintage guitars. He employed a 1951 two-pickup Fender Esquire, a quirky-cool late 50’s Guyatone LG-60 and a vintage Epiphone 12-string."

Andy Othling lists all pedals on his pedalboard, however the Rainbow Machine was not used in this video.

wacky tones that the garden have been using currently

Rainbow Machine, seen here at a show on 11/8/13

EH: There’s a part in one of the songs where I’m like, not playing in key, and because we have the Rainbow Machine goin’ off, going crazy, going up and down, these crazy note patterns, almost like the guitar’s talking to itself, and then I break into a solo after one measure, and we’ve never done anything like that before. So that’s pretty cool.

On the Earthquaker Devices page the following quote is utilised in his rig rundown. 'Speaker Cranker is a desert island pedal for me ... it's essential for every board I use. I run it before a fuzz for some extra dirt and clarity during solos. It adds distortion but still cuts through a mix like nothing I've heard before. The Bit Commander, Dispatch Master and Arrows also make it onto my pedalboard depending on the set. In the studio I've also used the Rainbow Machine and Hoof Reaper.'

Weird pedal. James has had it on his board for the past few months. Not exactly sure how he uses it. Probably with swells.

"I am either using the Earthquaker devices Rainbow machine, or sometimes, in addition, the Soundtoys crystallizer plug-in. Sometimes I add that after the fact, but for the most part, it’s the Rainbow machine. I did get an Earthquaker Sea Machine and that’s my first chorus pedal. I am excited about that."

The Rrainbow Machine can be seen on cook's board, playing the rick in the photo.

“I just use it in the same way that I would use the Harmonist, for weird little drum fill-type things - I don’t know what the equivalent is for guitars!”

Crain posted this collection of effects on Instagram. A EathQuaker Rainbow Machine can be spotted in there.

"I’ve been getting a lot of use out of the Earthquaker Rainbow Machine recently."

Kinsella only brings two stompboxes on the road and the first one is this EarthQuaker Devices Rainbow Machine. He says he can’t replicate the sound of the Rainbow Machine to his liking in the Axe-Fx II, so he uses it intermittently throughout the set. Check out the track “Echoes” for some heavy warbling from the Rainbow Machine.

In this photo uploaded by Sarah of his pedals forming a heart, you can see The EQD Rainbow Machine

"I've used the Rainbow Machine as a stand out detuned chorus effect."

"The Rainbow machine made a special appearance on *[the new BNQT record]*. That’s a really fun pedal.”

Luke Weiler of Positive Mental Trip plays an Earthquakes Devices Rainbow Machine. “Honestly when I bought it I thought it was going to be 1000 sounds on the next few albums. At 1 st I struggled to find anything use-able but the chorus-Esque vibe of it on guitar. I was let down by this as I have many awesome chorus sounds in my chorus library/arsenal. However I do like it for eerie EBOW sounds and I have found use for it on vocals with the Radial VOCO LOCO. When I busted it out during a few recording sessions in Woodstock there were no objections and the tracks may be keepers. Originally though I struggled to figure it how I could use this pedal. Certain EQD pedals can be like that. You really have to go outside your box. The EQD Data Corrupter is the same way like that. Just extremely different with the fuzz and the oscillations but....you plug it and your like whoa... what can I do with this?! The challenge of it I think is what gets people into earthquaker Devices or completely turns them off. In neither here nor there with there extreme sounding pedals. I really enjoy the Spatial Delivery envelope Filter V2. Out of all the EQD pedals I’ve played that one is my favorite. Luke has the Rainbow Machine V1 and has no idea what the V2 is about. “One rainbow machine is enough rainbow machines for me man!” -PMT Luke
