EarthQuaker Devices Astral Destiny Octave Reverb Pedal

When it comes to creating boutique-style pedals that combine must-have effects in unique and effective ways, there are few companys that can compete with EarthQuaker Devices.

The Earthquaker Devices Astral Destiny - a compact and powerful modulated octave reverb pedal - is most certainly a testament to that.

An Octal Octave Reverberation Odyssey

Featuring 8 unique reverb modes with 8 editable presets, assignable expression control, tails for natural reverb decay (when the effect is bypassed) and a super cool stretch feature that doubles the length of the reverb while adding an adjustable pitch bending effect - if you want spaced-out, cosmic atmospheric reverb from another dimension, check this one out!

EarthQuaker Devices Astral Destiny Octave Reverb Pedal Highlights

• Artwork from world-renowned Marvel comic book artist, Matt Horak

Super-Versatile

The Astral Destiny operates between two different modes: Live or Preset. It comes with 8 factory presets, 1 for each reverb mode, that can be edited or completely overwritten for your enjoyment.

The settings for Length, Depth, Rate, Tone, Mix as well as EXP assignment and Stretch length can all be stored and recalled. Any of the Astral Destiny’s 8 reverb modes can be used as the basis for each of the 8 presets.

• 1. Abyss: Huge reverb with no octave effect
• 2. Shimmer: Adds an upper octave to the reverb tail
• 3. Sub: Adds a lower octave to the reverb tail
• 4. Sub Shimmer: Adds an upper and lower octave to the reverb tail
• 5. Astral: Adds an upper and lower octave combined with a regenerating tail
• 6. Ascend: Upward pitch bending
• 7. Descend: Downward pitch bending
• 8. Cosmos: Adds a regenerating fifth to the reverb tail

Be careful when editing the presets though: there's no "Undo" function, so if you're not careful you may just overwrite your favourite settings without reallising!

Express Yourself

As if all of that wasn't enough, the Astral Destiny comes equipped with its own EXP socket, allowing you to plug in an external Expression Pedal for controlling the parameters of your presets.

Initially the pedal ships with this jack mapped to the Depth control, but you can quickly assign it to Length, Rate, Tone, or even Mix withhin each preset - and even control the voltage with it!

Built to Last

Each and every Astral Destiny has been built one at a time by a team of LA-based robots and a handful of real life humans in Akron, Ohio.
