Welcome to your Afterneath otherworldly reverberation machine from EarthQuaker Devices®! The Afterneath sounds a lot like it looks – a wizard in a cave in a Eurorack module. You are the wizard or sorceress, control voltage is your wand and the cave is your instrument’s vast, expansive, and magical signal. Do you go inside?
The Afterneath module brings the otherworldly sounds from the effects pedal world right into your modular synthesizer with an expanded feature set. The Afterneath module features one main audio input, one main audio output, an audio send and return for the Reflect feedback path, and nine controls. Four of the parameters are controllable via CV, and each has been equipped with a dedicated inverting attenuator to process the incoming CV. The Afterneath module has a completely analog dry signal path and a totally digital wet signal path. Each and every Afterneath module is built by a mix of robots and human beans in the torch-lit cave community of Akron, Ohio.
