Welcome to your Afterneath
™
otherworldly reverberation machine from EarthQuaker Devices
®
!
The Afterneath sounds a lot like it looks – a wizard in a cave in a Eurorack module. You are
the wizard or sorceress, control voltage is your wand and the cave is your instrument’s vast,
expansive, and magical signal. Do you go inside?
The Afterneath module brings the otherworldly sounds from the effects pedal world right into
your modular synthesizer with an expanded feature set. The Afterneath module features one
main audio input, one main audio output, an audio send and return for the
Reflect
feedback path,
and nine controls. Four of the parameters are controllable via CV, and each has been equipped
with a dedicated inverting attenuator to process the incoming CV. The Afterneath module has a
completely analog dry signal path and a totally digital wet signal path. Each and every Afterneath
module is built by a mix of robots and human beans in the torch-lit cave community of Akron, Ohio.

1. Power off and unplug your Eurorack case or power supply, and locate 16hp of empty space
within your system.
2. Connect the 10-pin end of the included ribbon cable to the power pin header on the back of
your Afterneath module so the red stripe on the cable is oriented towards the words “Red
Stripe” that are printed on the circuit board. Connect the 16-pin end of the ribbon cable to the
bus board of your Eurorack case according to the specifications of your case or bus board
manufacturer. Be certain that you have oriented your cable properly or you may cause damage
to your module or system.
