To infinity - and beyond

The EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath Enhanced Otherworldly Reverberator V3 is the third generation of the company's experimental ambient reverb pedal, inviting adventurous musicians to explore seemingly endless depths, from classic reverb tails to pitch-modulated effects. More than a sophisticated reverb pedal, the Afterneath V3 combines its distinctive Drag control with nine selectable Modes, ranging from continuous sweeps to quantised octave and pitch intervals, all of which can be manipulated in real time using an expression pedal, opening up a world of spaced-out ambient textures. In addition to its otherworldly soundscapes, the Afterneath V3 also delivers warm, lo-fi delay and reverb effects that will appeal to players with more conventional tastes.

Cast the perfect spell

Alongside regular reverb controls such as Mix and Length, the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 features several parameters that shape its distinctive character. Diffuse adjusts the spread of the reverb, from sharp early reflections to a smooth ambient wash; Reflect governs feedback and regeneration, while Dampen controls brightness. The Drag control adjusts the spacing between individual digital delay lines, producing dense reverberation when brought closer together or scattered, distinct echoes when spread apart. Its response can be altered using the Mode dial, which offers nine settings: Unquantized, Unquantized with Slew, Unquantized Volt/Octave, Chromatic, Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Octaves & Fifths, and Octaves.

Somewhere between pitch and reverb

Connecting an expression pedal to the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3's "EXP" jack harnesses its full potential. The expression pedal then controls the Drag settings in real time, from whammy-like pitch bends to EDM-esque sweeps – and everything in between. This makes the Afterneath much more than a guitar pedal: It can also be combined to great effect with synths and keyboards, bass guitars, and even drum machines to create some wild sonic textures and compositions. For players seeking something less adventurous, the Afterneath V3 is equally at home as a standalone reverb pedal – while offering a distinctive alternative to conventional reverb tanks.

About EarthQuaker Devices

EarthQuaker Devices was founded in 2004 by the musician Jamie Stillman, who had previously gathered years of experience in the world of music and sounds as the manager of a record label for Metal, Punk, and Shoegaze bands. Today, his innovative pedal designs are among the most in-demand and desirable devices in the boutique segment, attracting interest from a huge community of musicians. Stillman is now in charge of a sizeable team of developers and technicians, who are continuously working from their base in Akron, Ohio to expand their catalogue of hand-made effects pedals. EarthQuaker Devices are used by renowned artists like Paul Simon, Coldplay, Tom Bukovac, Idles, and The Black Keys.

Down to the last detail

Built for the demands of regular stage use, the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 is housed in a heavy-duty metal chassis that makes it fully roadworthy. Its electronic Flexi-Switch technology allows both standard latching and momentary operation, activating the effect for as long as the footswitch is held down and bypassing it again when released. The Afterneath uses electronic buffered bypass, with the buffer remaining active even when the effect is switched off. At the same time, the "Tails" function allows the reverb tails to fade out gradually after bypassing the effect, with the wet signal naturally decaying to silence. All of this makes the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 a great choice for musicians on the lookout for a sophisticated, versatile reverb pedal that delves deeper than most others would dare.
