Born from Akron's expertise in creative reverbs, the Astral Destiny pushes the "shimmer" concept further by combining high octaves, low octaves, regenerative fifths, and pitch curves. Within the EarthQuaker Devices range, it stands as the most cosmic reverb, the perfect complement to granular or vintage atmospheres of the brand's flagship models.
Perfect for guitarists and keyboardists in ambient, post-rock, shoegaze, cinematic, or worship genres, the Astral Destiny excels in pads, swells, and evolving textures. In the studio or on stage, it easily integrates at the end of a pedalboard or in an effects loop for massive halos, expressive pitch rises/falls, and impeccable trails between songs.
Two rotary selectors control the 8 modes and the 8 presets. The knobs Length (decay), Depth and Rate (modulation), Tone (tilt EQ), and Mix build the texture. The Activate switch engages the effect, while the Stretch instantly doubles the reverb and applies a pitch bend: tap for immediate change, hold for a momentary effect. The pitch bend speed is adjusted by holding Stretch and turning Length (clockwise for longer, counterclockwise for shorter). The EXP input accepts a TRS expression pedal or 0-3.3 V CV and can be assigned to any control. Live mode (active controls) or Preset mode (memory recall), with simple saving by combining both footswitches.
Wide and immersive, the pedal ranges from a deep, soft halo ("Abyss") to crystalline shimmer bursts, while offering enveloping lows via the lower octave. The Ascend/Descend modes provide very organic cinematic glissandi, sensitive to playing dynamics. The built-in modulation adds movement without dulling the attack, making it easy to stack with delays, chorus, or overdrives.
