The Dark Star from Old Blood Noise Endeavors is a unique take on a reverb pedal - a great pedal to create long reverberated pad sounds and experimental soundscapes. Handmade in USA.
At its core, the Old Blood Noise Dark Star is a reverb pedal, but with a special twist! With the Dark Star, the reverb signal passes through 3 optional modes; Pitch, Delay and Crush (selectable via the mini toggle switch) and then controllable via the CTRL 1 and CTRL 2, which correspond with the selected mode.
In Pitch mode the CTRL knobs gives you access for + and - octaves, in Delay mode you get control of Delay Time and Delay feedback, and in Crush mode you have control of pitch control for +/- an octave and then control for Bit Crush. The MIX and REVERB control control the dry/wet signal and decay of the reverb.
The Darkstar has two footswitches. Bypass is your standard on/off True Bypass mode, and the Hold switch is a momentary switch, which when pressed will lock in the note that is being played through reverb effect. Added versatility, comes with the option to add an expression pedal via the expression out jack.
The Dark Star is a great addition to any pedalboard and will appeal to players wanting to create long lush ambiences and tripped out'verbs!
