EarthQuaker Devices says Towers is a new circuit, not a stereo Afterneath

April 20, 2026 · 1 sources

EarthQuaker Devices published an article on April 20, 2026, titled "The Tale of Tails: Defining the Towers Stereo Reverberant Filter," stating that the reverb pedal is a new circuit rather than a stereo version of the Afterneath or a revival of the Transmisser. The article is credited to Corey Jenkins, the company's marketing specialist.

According to the article, Towers uses a different reverb algorithm than both the Afterneath and the Transmisser. The maker lists three distinct resonant filter modes, true stereo, mono-to-stereo and mono-to-mono signal flow, the ability to save and store user presets, and operation in Tails or True Bypass mode. It also cites controls for Mix and Length/Decay of the reverb tails, and full expression pedal control over parameters.

The article describes the pedal's approach to resonance as active and applied internally to the reflections, "in a way not typically achievable with hardware." It states that Towers is in regular production, while the Transmisser is discontinued. It also addresses the Astral Destiny, saying that aside from sharing the Stretch feature, the two have very little in common.

"Towers is a completely new circuit, though it carries the DNA of its ancestors."
