Today we are releasing a new reverb called Scattering. I have wanted to make this pedal for a long time.

Scattering is a stereo reverb built around tapped delay lines. Similar to our Prismatic Wall, it embraces a weird mixup of analog and digital processing. While nominally a reverb, it is equally capable of practical modulation-adjacent effects, ambient gazing, saturated double-tracking, or chaotic pitch-bendy noisemaking. Whether you’re a pragmatist or a space cadet, you will find something genuinely useful.

You probably want to hear the thing, so check out the technical demo (as well as all the other rad demos popping up on youtube) and head back here for more rambling.

Before EAE made any pedals, I built an amp that I called the Arcanist. There is one prototype from 2014, and one production model that I built for a friend in 2016. The design had some cool ideas, but I had no idea how to scale it. Pedals are much more nimble, and there’s endless variety! But, I love amps, and it’s a space where I’ve always wanted to do more.

We have a new pedal available for preorder. It is called Big Time, and it is a collab with Chase Bliss.
