Old Blood Noise Endeavors Sunlight Dynamic Freeze Reverb Pedal.

Description

Old Blood Noise Endeavors are one of those niche stompbox brands that never settle for the ordinary! Their Sunlight pedal is an incredible tool for experimental guitar players an envelope triggered multi-mode reverb with the ability to dynamically freeze and sustain your notes forever.Want to create truly mesmerising sunlit soundscapes? This pedal achieves that with ease, and much more!

Building on what made OBNEs immensely-popular Dark Star pedal such a stellar early-chain pad reverb, Sunlight twists it into the other dimension as a reverbcentred around the idea of a dynamic hold. When you play, your new notes are let through and old notes are allowed to fade away, but when you stop playing, old notes have the chance to repeat forever. It’s like nothing else!

Key Features

‘Input’ knob for dynamic sensitivity and ‘Decay’ controlfor reverb feedback, to formenveloping infinite reverb.
‘Tape’, ‘Comb’,and ‘Pass’ modes to apply wobbling vibrato, stacked resonant delays, or random step filtering to the reverb!
‘Rate’and ‘Depth’ controls are specific to each mode, for a super-wide sonic palette.
Expression pedal control over ‘Input’, ‘Decay’, ‘Rate’, and ‘Depth’ parameters.
Performance-friendly ‘Alt’ footswitch allows youto quickly snap to a particular knob setting.
Soft-touch switching with true relay bypass.
Powered by regular 9-voltDC power supply(centre negative, 2.1 mm, ~80 mA current draw).

Simple Operation, 3 Sonic Modes

Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ effects might sound complex to the ear, but the companyprides itselfon making pedals that are dead-simple to use. Their Sunlight is no exception, withjust two knobs controllingthe nature of therelationship between the new and old notespassing through, fading away andrepeating for eternity.

In addition, there are three sonic modes that highlight modulation, comb filtering and resonant bandpass filtering, each of which takes their own spin on the reverb signal. The Mix, Input and Decay dials work exactly the same across each mode, as they help control the dynamics.

Plenty ofControl

Mix sets the loudness of the reverb, which goes from all dry to all wet and anywhere in betweenallowing you to create everything from subtle reverberations to deep ambient textures.

Now, the interplay between Input and Decay is where the real Sunlight magic starts to happen. Decay determines how long the reverb trails will sustain, which will go from quick ephemeral evaporations to infinite reverb pads. On the other hand, Input controls how much of your signal is allowed into and fed back within the reverb. At zero, no new input will be added to your reverb, but as you increase it, more signal is let throughletting you create gently evolving ambient textures or drastically changing synth-like pads.

Mode-Dependant Dials

The Rate and Depth knobs work differently depending on which mode you’re using:

Tape Modeis a modulated reverb inspired by the unexpected shifts of a tape machine wobbling. Here, Rate and Depth set the speed and intensity of the lopsided vibrato applied to the reverb signal.
Comb Modeis a combination of reverb and delay. Four delay lines are placed after the reverb, and the emphasis on stacked short delays creates comb filters like a fixed flanger. Rate sets the time of all four delays, and Depth sets the feedback (or resonance) of the delay section.
Pass Mode is a bandpass filter applied between two reverb paths, where a random sample-hold function sets the cutoff frequency of the bandpass. Rate sets the timing of the sample-hold and Depth sets the range of possible cutoff frequencies. If Rate is set to 0, Depth sets a fixed cutoff frequency.
