EarthQuaker Devices Towers V1

Behold! Betwixt the mists of time and the digital depths comes forth the mighty Towers.

The Towers V1 is not merely an effect pedal; it is an architectural marvel of aural alchemy. By feeding your signal into an array of infinitely repeating micro-echoes, Towers generates dynamic impulses that blossom into an immense, cathedral-style reverb. This foundation is interwoven with a resonant low-pass filter that intersects the signal path at multiple points, crafting massive, unearthly textures that transcend the limitations of traditional hardware.

From dark, atmospheric echoes to lo-fi subterranean descents, Towers is your bridge between the conventional and the impossible.

Key Features

  • Stereo Reverberant Filter: A unique architecture that blends micro-delays with a massive cathedral reverb.
  • Resonant Low-Pass Filter: Reminiscent of vintage synthesizers, offering warm, ringy tones and dark harmonic layers.
  • Three Operational Modes: * Manual: Hand-carve your frequency with opposing movements between the left and right channels.
    • Envelope: Let your picking dynamics dictate the filter sweep for reactive, organic resonance.
    • LFO: Surrender to a slow-moving oscillator that sways across the stereo field.
  • The "Stretch" Phenomenon: A dedicated footswitch that doubles reverb length by slowing the processor speed. This creates pitch-bending artifacts, smeared filters, and a beautiful lo-fi "descend into the abyss."
  • 8 User Presets: Save and recall your most cherished mystical configurations instantly.
  • Built in Akron, Ohio: Crafted by the skilled tone technicians of EarthQuaker Devices
