Earthquaker Devices | ASTRAL DESTINY
An "Octal Octave Reverberation Odyssey!"
Earthquaker Devices shakes up 2021 with a reverb for the ages. Touted as an “Octal Octave Reverberation Odyssey,” the new Astral Destiny stars a suite of fantastical features designed to remake the pedalboard essential into an immersive, time-transcending experience, sparkling with celestially-inspired spectacle, awash with ambient, ethereal excess. Or, to put it simply, this is the new big bang of reverb.
Earthquaker Devices equips the Astral Destiny with eight prominently displayed reverb modes and assignable presets. This is your control room. Here, you choose your Astral Destiny. Will it be...
- Abyss: Deep, cavernous reverb. No octave effect.
- Shimmer: Sparkling reverb tail with supplemental upper octave.
- Sub: Rumbling reverb tail with supplemental lower octave.
- Sub Shimmer: Reverb tail with supplemental upper and lower octaves.
- Astral: Sub Shimmer plus regenerating tail.
- Ascend: Upward pitch bend.
- Descend: Downward pitch bend.
- Cosmos: Modified reverb tail with a regenerating fifth.
Or one of eight completely customizable presets. Whatever you choose, assignable expression/CV control allows you to adjust the Length, Depth, Rate, Tone, and Mix via the so-labeled knobs on the front of the unit, moving your tone from la la la to lasers in a parsec.
The unique Stretch function doubles your reverb length, holding the current settings while adding an adjustable pitch bend. But you may choose to put your destiny on hold in a different way. Buffered bypass switching lets you add a tail anytime, and two all-analog signal paths––one dry and one wet––bounce you from clean to dirty and back again.
Adorned with appropriately explosive artwork from Marvel comics artist Matt Horak, the Earthquaker Devices Astral Destiny “Octal Octave Reverberation Odyssey” is a total tonal trip from top to bottom. We suggest you book your ticket today.
