The EarthQuaker Devices Astral Destiny isn’t your average reverb pedal—it’s an interdimensional experience. Designed for players who crave ambient textures, pitch-shifted trails, and infinite expanses of sound, the Astral Destiny is an intuitive and inspiring tool for guitarists, synth players, and sonic explorers alike. Whether you’re building lush soundscapes or launching into a shoegaze dream sequence, this pedal delivers a universe of possibilities.
Eight Expansive Reverb Modes
The Astral Destiny comes packed with eight immersive reverb modes, each one offering a unique way to stretch, bend, and elevate your tone. From upward pitch glides to shimmering harmonics and downward spirals into the void, each mode brings something distinct to your board:
Abyss – A rich, deep reverb without pitch shifting
Shimmer – Adds a +1 octave pitch shift for dreamy high-end sparkle
Sub – A -1 octave shift for grounding, cavernous depth
Sub Shimmer – Combines both +1 and -1 octaves for layered complexity
Astral – Adds a +2 octave pitch shift for ultra-ethereal vibes
Ascend – Pitch-bent upward trails for a gliding, soaring effect
Descend – Downward pitch-bent tails for moody, dramatic ambiance
Cosmos – Adds a regenerating wash of octave-shifted harmonics
Warp and Stretch Time
With the Stretch footswitch, you can slow down time on command. This feature doubles the reverb length and lowers the pitch, adding an expressive, real-time twist to your playing. Perfect for ambient swells, post-rock builds, or live sound manipulation, Stretch mode turns your trails into an instrument of their own.
Save Your Sound
Astral Destiny includes eight user-assignable presets, easily accessible from the front panel. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, you can quickly swap between wildly different textures without losing your flow.
Built-In Modulation and Expression Control
Dial in modulation depth and rate to give your reverbs movement and character, or hook up an external expression pedal to control any parameter you want in real time. It’s flexible, expressive, and made to evolve with your sound.
