Worlds of Exotic Tones

Lose YourselfFeaturing a completely analog dry signal path, totally digital delay path, buffered bypass and two different bypass states - Tails or Full Bypass, you get plenty to experiment with.
Tails Mode, which the is the pedal’s stock setting, allows the reverb to naturally decay after the effect is bypassed, slowly letting you drift back from your otherworldly state back to earth.
Alternatively, full bypass will cut the reverb effect completely when the effect is bypassed and instantly get you back to reality.
Further Control

Additional TexturesHitting the Stretch footswitch doubles the length of the reverb effect while adding a temporary change in pitch, allowing your sound to spin out of control, a short tap will immediately change the pitch, holding the Stretch footswitch depressed gives you a temporary pitch bending effect with the speed of the of the pitch bending effect created by holding the Stretch footswitch easily adjusted by turning the Length knob. While the Astral Destiny offers two different modes of operation, it ships in Live Mode, where each control will operate manually, leaving you in control.
