The Astral Destiny Modulated Octave Reverb effects pedal from EarthQuaker Devices opens a portal to ambient soundscapes. This innovative pedal combines lush reverb with pitch-shifted octave tones for a transcendent sonic experience. This groundbreaking pedal is designed for adventurous guitarists and keyboardists looking to explore uncharted territory.

Eight Reverb Modes for Spacious Tones

Eight different reverb modes provide a range of ambient tones, from a deep cavernous hall to a shimmering modulated reverb. Adjustable parameters like decay time, depth and pre-delay allow you to customize each mode to your liking. Save your favorite settings in eight user presets for instant recall.

Octave Modulation Takes You Higher and Lower

Add dramatic pitch shifting to your reverb for a surreal sonic adventure. The octave up mode adds a 12-string-like chime for an angelic shimmer. Octave down mode drops your tone an octave for a booming bass reverb. Blend the octave effect to your taste using the octave level control.

Expression Pedal Control for Dynamic Performances

Connect an expression pedal to manually manipulate parameters like reverb decay, depth and octave blend in real time. Swell in reverb and octave modulation for ambient soundscapes that evolve and breathe. Assign the expression pedal to control one or multiple parameters at once for layered, textural effects.

Roadworthy and Intuitive

Despite its spacey sounds, the Astral Destiny is built for gigging and practicing. Its compact, rugged enclosure can handle bumps and drops. Intuitive controls like dedicated knobs, switches and selector dials make it easy to dial in your perfect ambient tone. Save your favorite sounds in the eight onboard presets for quick recall when inspiration strikes.

    Layer after layer on a looper and you can get differences between a organ, an orchestra or a chase bliss mood like landscape in every take. Or just toss it over the master bus and it starts bringing in voices, I swear its like there's a civilization living in my pedal with warnings like "It's not all in your head!" repeated over and over and I leave it on with a drone for that exact reason, sometimes I run the drone through my computer and out the mixer with a page for cryptography hardware talk left open and I swear conversations start playing out. Must be the Ascend and Descend option luring in souls.
