Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star Stereo
Flagship Reverb Pedal
With new features like Stereo Input and Output, on-board Presets, Trails, Expression control over all parameters and MIDI control, of both Parameters and Presets, the Dark Star Stereo offers more versatility to this device than ever before. Beyond that, the new Dark Star does away with the three-mode toggle, instead creating a single mode combining all the Pitch-Shifting, Bit-Crushing, delayed goodness of the original. Access your favourite sounds as well as new combinations, with new shapers like Filter, Multiply, Volume and Stereo-Spread.
With Dual Pitch-Shifting capabilities for its independent Left and Right channels, when running in Stereo, the Dark Star can create lush or discordant textures, ranging from subtle detunes to dramatic double octave shifts. The pedal also includes a versatile Filter control that lets you shape the reverb signal with a high or low pass filter, for customised clarity. The built-in Crush distortion adds unique textures, with settings that move from subtle soft clipping to intense lo-fi grit. Additional controls for Lag and Decay let you set the Reverb pre-delay and decay time, while Multiply and Spread bring unique feedback and stereo width control, enhancing depth and intensity.
The Dark Star's Aux footswitch can be customised for momentary or latching effects, like infinite sustain, low-pass filtering, or instant octave pitch shifts, providing flexible creative control at your feet. Save and switch between three unique on-board presets, with clear LED indicators and use the Expression Jack for hands-free dynamic control over any parameter.
Adding to the pedal's extensive flexibility, the Dark Star is fully MIDI compatible with presets being selectable via Program Change messages as well as all parameters being accessible and controllable via CC. With both Mono and Stereo routing options, plus selectable True-Bypass or Trails modes, the Dark Star offers a comprehensive blend of both intuitive and advanced features for musicians that are looking to sculpt immersive soundscapes.
