EarthQuaker Devices Unveils Towers Stereo Reverberant Filter for Massive Soundscapes
EarthQuaker Devices has launched the Towers Stereo Reverberant Filter, a creative new pedal that they call an entirely new entry into their reverb product portfolio. The company describes it as a “soundscape generator” that can create “incomprehensibly huge and haunting” sounds as well as subtler textures. It does so by sending your signal into a unique set of resonant filtered feedback networks.
“The sheer amount of possibilities is thanks in part to the pedal’s three distinct modes of operation,” EQD explains. “There’s a Manual Mode, which puts the player in charge of the filter frequencies and stereophonic movement. Then there’s Envelope Mode, where playing dynamics breathe and morph into everchanging filter movements. Finally, in LFO Mode, the player surrenders control to a slow-moving oscillator that sweeps the filter frequencies and across the stereo field.”
The company has a sample using a Bass VI on their website, but you can get a feel for the pedal’s capabilities in this guitar demo by EarthQuaker founder Jamie Stillman.
The EarthQuaker Devices Towers Stereo Reverberant Filter is out now for $299.
