EarthQuaker Devices · pedal

The EarthQuaker Devices Towers is a stereo reverb built around resonant, reverberant filters, designed to create lush, harmonically tuned ambient washes that go beyond conventional room and hall reverbs. By running the reverb through tunable filters, it adds pitched, resonant character and dimension to the decay, producing everything from shimmering, musical ambience to dense, otherworldly soundscapes in stereo. It suits ambient, post rock, shoegaze and experimental players who want a distinctive, filter voiced reverb with rich, resonant textures and wide stereo imaging rather than a plain, natural space, offering a creative take on atmospheric reverb in a modern EQD pedal.
