Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star V3

The Dark Star V3 from Old Blood Noise Endeavors is a cosmic convergence of astronomical proportion, combining all three modes of their flagship lo-fi reverb pedal in one stellar stereo device. Earlier iterations of the Dark Star are beloved for their characteristic bitcrushed grit and ethereal haze of pitched reverberation and delay, adding evocative and otherworldly space to any signal. Until now, combinations of these qualities were locked behind Dark Star's three position switch, and limited to processing mono signals. Like a supernova enveloping the night sky, Dark Star V3 vastly expands the timbral possibilities of its unique algorithm, lighting a path on your journey towards new expressions of adventurous timbres.

Dark Star excels at creating long textural pads of reverberation with a slow attack, sneaking in to fill the stereo field with captivating resonances that can be held indefinitely. Empowered with full control over two repitched delay lines, a fizzy bitcrusher, and exceedingly resonant reverb, Dark Star is capable of a very wide range of tones. In addition to these returning features, new shapes are accessible with the addition of a filter, a feedback loop called Multiply, and deeper reverb settings like predelay lag and stereo spread. To effectively implement all these new controls, you can save and recall presets on the Dark Star using the panel controls or MIDI signals, readily warping between disparate tones with performative gestures. Add further controls of the foot-actuated variety with an Expression pedal, and set your preferred bypass option with Trails or True mode to fit your musical moment.

With its numerous enhancements and across-the-board improvements to sound quality, the Dark Star V3 from Old Blood Noise Endeavors is a unique and powerful reverb effect ready to wash over your pedalboard with sizzling lo-fi hiss and blooming reverberant bliss.
