Pedals that stack with the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath

Univox Uni-Vibe

Run the Uni-Vibe's watery, psychedelic swirl after the Afterneath's cavernous, ambient reverb so the modulation colors the decay instead of the dry signal.

Cordovox FL-8

Run the FL-8's shoegaze-voiced flange sweep after the Afterneath's ambient, pitch-shifted reverb and the modulation colors that decay directly.

Z.Vex Super Hard On

Push the Afterneath's shoegaze, pitch-shifted reverb with the Super Hard-On's clean JFET boost and the wash gets brighter without losing its texture.

Walrus Audio Ages

Stack the Ages' saturating clean boost with the Afterneath's own shoegaze, pitch-shifted reverb and the wash gets serious harmonic depth.

Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH-1 Wah Pedal

The Afterneath's shoegaze-voiced, pitch-shifted ambient reverb trails the JH-1's vocal, psychedelic wah sweep with a swelling texture to decay.
