EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath V3 Demo

Guitar and Synth demo of the newly enhanced otherworldly reverberator, the Afterneath V3 by EarthQuaker Devices.

The Afterneath Reverb is a modern day classic. On top of its now iconic cascading and cavernous ambient tones, the new Afterneath V3 sports an expression and CV input letting you utilize 9 different quantize modes for the drag control, which opens up portals to uncharted pitch-shifting and textural potential. From wild modulated textures, deep drones, cascading multi-tap delays, infinite reverb and step sequenced bliss, the Afterneath V3 truly stands out as an out-of-this-world reverb experience.

I've literally just spent the afternoon looking for Afterneath v3 demos and couldn't find any decent ones. Lo and behold, here's Stefan with a superb demo of this intriguing pedal. Great work Stefan, you've pushed it to the top of my "to buy" list!

Thanks for the great demo Stephan! I know you wanted to try it with the expression pedal at NAMM😝

[thepedalzone]

I'm super excited about this one. One of my all-time favorite ambient reverbs just levelled up and became an instrument all in its own right. Afterneath V3 is crazy versatile and inspiring, especially when used together with a CV sequencer or expression pedal. Hope you enjoyed the demo, and that the sounds inspired you as much as they inspired me. If you had a blast watching this, then please consider leaving a like, comment or sharing the demo with your friends. Your support always means so much. Thank you - Stefan <3

I ordered the afterneath v3 (in a stunning custom color: blue print on black box) because of this video. It arrived yesterday, and now I'm lost myself in the cave 🤩 THX Stefan for all your passion and heartblood in every video, you're awesome! Greets from switzerland 🇨🇭

Stefan, your channel is my go-to source for pedal research. There are a few reasons why this is so.

First, you begin each demo with a clean guitar tone. If I click on a demo and the host is shredding away, that's an automatic pass.

Second, you impart just enough information when you talk. You never go on and on and on about the product you are showing.

Third, you let the pedal do the talking. Your text explaining the functions is perfect. As an old geezer, (66) this is perfect. I can pause and consider your helpful text on the subject.

Well done, sir!

I was just about considering selling my Afterneath pedal, as I strugle make it fit with my playing style.
But now, after watching this; I'll give another go...
This is the only demo where the person demoing it, actually is able to get something musical out of the expression control.
With every other demo, my reaction has always been: "Why would you want to do that?".
With this one my reaction is: "that's really cool!"

[maxthomas]

By far the best demo I’ve seen of this pedal.

[RandomButtonPusher]

By far the best demo of this pedal out there. Likely my next pedal already, and then this just confirms it.

[lambertfooks]

Brilliant. As always, just brilliant. This will be the 5th EQD pedal out of my 11 pedals thanks to your well thought out reviews and demonstration.

[BlueAltitudes]

The world needs more people like you, Stephan. Thanks for being awesome.

[eddieriviello]

I’ve watched most of your demos, but this might have blown my mind the most! So many clever and cool applications of a reverb pedal that I never would’ve dreamed of. Awesome, awesome, awesome stuff as always!

[LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

I can't believe you did all this with basically just one pedal and some controllers. I bet you could fill an entire album with all the lush sounds here. Really great stuff, Stefan! <3

[Calle]

Finally I know for sure I must have this. Great as always. By far the best pedal channel out there. No one presents pedals with such creativity, enthusiasm and love for detail like you Stefan. Thanks!!!

[theoceanyou]

A lot of icy sounds here, full of nostalgia. ❤️ Your love for this device is transcending your musical experiments. Thanks for the journey. And that Ebow magic! Makes me think of Daniel Cavanagh from Anathema.

[edwardrapley]

So great to see a demo of this pedal that explores the possibilities of CV input. You opened my eyes to what the v3 can really do.

[pnygzgj]

This demo is incredible, thanks for broadening my horizons of what's possible with this toy!

[neehan]

I swear, you are the best out there for testing pedals.

[vscitizen]

It's like the mysterious and big cavern from before turned into the hidden lair of fairies and magical creatures.
It's so cool ! Thanks for the magic ❤️

My brother, you put out THE best pedal videos on YouTube . Everyone else should just stop trying ! Beautiful playing, you need to make an album for us to chill to while we study theory ☕️ . Thanks for being rad !

[LauraSquirrel]

I am so psyched for this! I can't wait to get my hands on one (at some point). I am especially excited since I discovered that I have room on my board to accommodate the expression pedal plug. At first, I thought that it wasn't going to be possible and I was going to miss out on that. But, it will happen. Awesome review as always.
