EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 Reverb Pedal

Like to add a new premium-quality reverb pedal to your pedalboard setup, and want it to offer a huge range of voicing options, in a compact, easy to use format? Then we have just what you need!

Enhanced Otherworldly Reverberator

With the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 you get the latest iteration of the awesome Afterneath - an otherworldly reverb pedal that's fresh from the Upside Down (aka Akron, Ohio).

The Afterneath is a loving reference to the famous tabletop RPG "Dungeons & Dragons", which would explain the magical artwork on the chassis.

Once you've had a listen to the swathe of dreamy, magical sounds that this pedal can produce, you'll understand the reference fully.

EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 Reverb Pedal Highlights

• Boutique-style reverb pedal, handmade in Akron, Ohio (US)
• Versatile controls, with 9 different modes to choose from
• LED changes colour depending on the selected mode
• Flexi Switch technology
• Top-mounted jack sockets make for a pedalboard-friendly design
• Extra input socket allows you to use an external expression pedal

Intuitive Controls

Whilst the Afterneath V3 looks like it may be a handful, there's no need to worry: the controls are as intuitive as you could wish for.

First there's Length which controls the decay length of the reverb, ranging from short and single echo to an almost endless cascade of sound.

Diffuse is used for adjusting the spread of the reveb, whether you want a sharp and attack driven sound or something more ambient and washy.

Then there's Dampen, with which you determine the brightness of your tone.

Drag is arguably the most fun feature on the pedal, as it's the control which separates the delay lines letting you choose between full Delay (extreme counter-clockwise) or full reverb (extreme clockwise) - personally I recommend letting some notes ring out whilst you manually turn this dial slowly from one extreme to the other for a fun warped speed effect, but I think we've already established that I excite easily and should probably lay off the caffeine.

Next we have Reflect, with which you control the regeneration of the reverb. With this function you can range your reverberations from a chaotic deluge to something much more controlled, and if you turn it up high enough you'll get the pedal to self-oscillate!

Finally we have Mix, which you use to blend the wet and dry signals coming from the pedal. Despite never getting fully wet, the clean level is gradually lowered to the point where it appears to be so.

9 Different Modes!

To deliver a huge array of voicing options, Earthquaker Devices has equipped the Afterneath V3 with 9 different modes for you to choose from.

These modes change the way in which the Drag control works, with the following choices:

1. Unquantized
2. Unquantized with Slew
3. Unquantized Volt/Octave
4. Chromatic Scale
5. Minor Scale
6. Major Scale (Lydian)
7. Pentatonic Scale
8. Octaves & Fifths
9. Octaves

In addition to this, the pedal's LED will even change colour to indicate which mode is active!

Flexi-Switch Technology

As with the Afterneath V2, the V3 features Flexi-Switch Technology - an electronic switching that allows you to use both momentary and latching style switching.

In addition to this, the Afterneath V3 sports buffered bypass circuitry, ensuring your signal is good and strong, wherever it fits onto your pedalboard.
