Hey everyone, it's Andy with Reverb, and I'm excited to show you a new multimode octave reverb pedal from EarthQuaker Devices. It's the Astral Destiny...

Today, I have the newest pedal from EarthQuaker Devices. This is the Astral Destiny Octave Reverb.

They seem to be pretty cheap on the second hand market so definitely pick one up if you like making your guitar sound like hot garbage but in a fun way. It appears this pedal was also released under the much-maligned Washburn brand at one point. Earthquaker Devices Astral Destiny: You all already know about this one. I agree that it's incredible and lets you make your own sci-fi space epic score, but I don't have anything unique to say about other than: Try using it in the effects loop of an Electro-Harmonix Attack Decay if you have one.

I want to like this pedal but I just couldn’t get into the sound. Upon first glance it seems like something that will give you some really unique sounds but ultimately I found this pedal to really box me in. The shimmer sound is pretty much one way and makes everything you put into it (guitar, synth...

Heard some cool demos for this one, tried it when on sale. Only one sound was remotely usable for my guitar - Abyss I think. The rest all felt like gimmicks or something better suited to synths. Build quality was fine, graphics were nice, seemed to have a lot of tweaking options, but most of the sou...

This is an interesting (random?) idea for a pedal but not well executed and overpriced for such a gimmicky, limited effect. I have a few students who keep buying Earthquaker pedals because they are hoping for a unique personal sound and have not yet learned that the sound they want comes from experi...

I can get so many reverbs out of this pedal, so I find it very versatile. For example, you can tweak the Abyss setting to sound like a “Plate” reverb and you can set up the “Cosmos” setting + a fuzz and get a distorted synth sound or very beatiful swells. I think I cover A LOT of ground with this pe...

Astral Destiny has stunning soundscapes that I could live in forever! The pedal sounds best through my tube amps. Solid state amps don’t do this pedal any justice, I tested it out with my hybrid Orange tiny terror head & Marshall solid state amp with the pedal and it sounded constricted not lush and...

I love this pedal. Having enjoyed the shimmer on a multi-reverb pedal, I decided to give this one a chance. I have enjoyed Earthquaker Devices pedals in the past and this one did not disappoint for creating ambient style music. I also enjoy playing with it as someone else plays guitar, turning the k...
