Know before you buy
The Afterneath V3 is designed for deep, ambient, and atmospheric textures rather than traditional spring or plate reverb sounds. It uses a series of short delays to create a cavernous, wash-like effect that is perfect for shoegaze, post-rock, and experimental soundscapes.
It is built for both. The durable stompbox design is rugged enough for the road, and its intuitive control layout allows you to dial in complex ambient textures quickly during a live set.
No, the Afterneath V3 does not feature MIDI compatibility. It is designed as a straightforward, tactile stompbox where all adjustments are made directly on the pedal's interface.
Yes. Because it uses standard 1/4-inch input and output jacks, it works well with synthesizers, drum machines, or bass guitars. Its atmospheric nature is particularly popular for adding depth to electronic and ambient synth patches.
The V3 introduces an external expression pedal jack that allows you to control the 'Drag' parameter with your foot. This lets you manipulate the reverb's decay and pitch-shifting characteristics in real-time while playing.
