EarthQuaker Devices has released the Towers Stereo Reverberant Filter, a stereo reverb and filter pedal, the company announced. Guitar Pedal X reported on March 6, 2026 that the pedal was available at international dealers for $299 and equivalent1. Premier Guitar lists a USA MAP price of $2992, and MusicRadar gives the price as $2993. Gearnews reported a Thomann price of $388, alongside a separate figure of $328.004.

The pedal feeds the input signal into an array of repeating micro-echoes that feed a cathedral-style reverb, with a resonant low-pass filter intersecting the delay and reverb paths at multiple points5. The filter frequency has three modes, selected by a three-position toggle: Manual, where the Frequency control moves the left channel opposite the right; Envelope, where picking dynamics drive the filter and Frequency sets sensitivity; and LFO, where a slow oscillator sweeps the filter across the stereo field and Frequency sets the rate5.

Controls are Mode, Length, Mix, Frequency, Filter and Preset, plus Stretch and Activate footswitches5. Length sets reverb decay and also adjusts the speed of Stretch, which slows the digital system, doubling reverb length and altering the frequency spectrum with a pitch-bending effect5. There are eight user presets5. The pedal has stereo inputs and outputs and an expression jack14; one parameter at a time can be controlled by expression pedal, and its mapping is saved with presets4. It ships in Tails bypass mode, with Full Bypass available5.

Guitar Pedal X described the Towers as circa EQD's 10th reverb pedal1. EarthQuaker president and chief designer Jamie Stillman told MusicRadar the pedal is not a reworking of earlier models3:

"Towers represents a linear progression of reverbs. It's not an evolution of or update on any current or legacy device."

MusicRadar reported that EQD makes the pedals in the USA3, and Premier Guitar said Towers is built in Akron, Ohio2. Artwork is by Dave Neeson5.
