EarthQuaker Devices Towers Review – Stereo Cathedral Reverb + Stretch?!

Today Brian from B’s Music Shop checks out the EarthQuaker Devices Towers Stereo Soundscape Generator — a full stereo reverb and resonant filter pedal built for massive cathedral wash, generative micro-echoes, and evolving ambient textures. 👉 Buy the EarthQuaker Devices Towers here: https://bsmusicshop.com/products/sear... Towers feeds your signal into infinitely repeating micro-echoes that generate impulses into a huge cathedral-style reverb. That reverb is interwoven with a resonant low-pass filter inspired by vintage synth circuits, giving you dark, warm, ringy harmonic movement. Three filter modes: Manual Mode – Opposing stereo filter sweeps left and right Envelope Mode – Picking dynamics drive filter movement LFO Mode – Slow stereo panning filter sweeps Then there’s Stretch — a dedicated footswitch that slows the processor, doubles the reverb length, bends pitch, smears delay lines, and creates lo-fi artifacts in real time. Tap it for instant morphing or hold it and let the entire soundscape descend into the abyss. Brian walks through the controls, explores the presets, and compares its cathedral wash to classic wide verbs — while showing why the Stretch feature might be the real star of the show . Key Specs: Stereo in / stereo out 8 user-assignable presets Mechanical true bypass Current draw: 85mA (9V only) USA MAP: $299 If you’re into ambient guitar, shoegaze textures, cinematic post-rock, or massive stereo reverbs that don’t require a month with the manual, this one’s worth a serious look.
