EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V2

EarthQuaker Devices · pedal

The EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V2 is an otherworldly reverb built from a cloud of short, cascading, pitch-shifted delays rather than a conventional reverb algorithm, producing massive, crystalline, shimmering washes of sound that sit somewhere between an ethereal, cavernous reverb and a swarming cloud of delay. The V2 adds a Wander control that introduces random pitch movement into the reverb cloud, breathing organic, unpredictable evolution into the texture on top of the original Drag, Length, Reflect, Dampen, and Spread controls. Its cascading short delays take on a granular, textured quality when paired with distortion or fuzz, and it gives droning shoegaze riffs rhythmic punch and ambient, psychedelic swells rather than a simple wash. It suits shoegaze, ambient, and psychedelic players wanting evolving atmospheric reverb textures.
