{"product_id":"old-blood-noise-endeavors-dark-star-stereo-reverb-402553","title":"Dark Star Stereo Reverb","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"next-generation\" Dark Star in the lineage of a cult reverb\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Star has established itself as a characterful reverb, closer to a sound design instrument than a \"conventional\" reverb. With the \u003cstrong\u003eDark Star Stereo\u003c\/strong\u003e, Old Blood Noise Endeavors evolves its flagship concept: you gain \u003cstrong\u003estereo\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epresets\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI\u003c\/strong\u003e, and much finer control over signal shaping. Whereas previous versions offered a 3-position selector, this edition adopts a more fluid approach by combining the signature elements (pitch, delay, and crush) into \u003cstrong\u003ea single engine\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing you to access classic Dark Star sounds while exploring new combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for and the contexts where the Dark Star Stereo truly shines\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Star Stereo is aimed at guitarists (and musicians more broadly) who want to \u003cstrong\u003ebuild an atmosphere\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than simply \"add reverb.\" It excels in \u003cstrong\u003eambient\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epost-rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eshoegaze\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eexperimental\u003c\/strong\u003e, and textured music, but can also become a formidable studio tool to thicken a theme, create a harmonic bed, or transform a mono take into a wide space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn live settings, the stereo and \"trails\" facilitate clean transitions between sections, while the \u003cstrong\u003epresets\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI\u003c\/strong\u003e allow instant switching from a soft pad to a dissonant wash. On a pedalboard, it fits well at the end of the chain, but its character can also yield surprising results earlier in the signal path (before certain delays or before an amp already in light crunch) if you're seeking a more granular and organic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, presets, expression, and MIDI: a reverb designed as a creative tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Star Stereo offers a comprehensive control section to sculpt the reverb like a material. The \u003cstrong\u003ePitch 1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePitch 2\u003c\/strong\u003e controls enable \u003cstrong\u003edual pitch-shifting\u003c\/strong\u003e (left and right channels) ranging from micro-variations to more dramatic octave jumps. The \u003cstrong\u003eFilter\u003c\/strong\u003e control is used to brighten or darken the reverb via a high-pass or low-pass filter, very useful to prevent high harmonics from dominating the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lo-fi texture is managed with \u003cstrong\u003eCrush\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of going from subtle grain to more pronounced saturation, while \u003cstrong\u003eLag\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the perceived attack (pre-delay) of the reverb. \u003cstrong\u003eDecay\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the tail length, \u003cstrong\u003eMultiply\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a feedback loop to thicken and intensify the overall sound, \u003cstrong\u003eMix\u003c\/strong\u003e controls the dry\/wet balance, \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the overall level, and \u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e opens the stereo image for wider, more immersive washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAux\u003c\/strong\u003e footswitch can operate momentarily or as on\/off depending on the selected setting, with creative functions such as \u003cstrong\u003einfinite sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e (freeze), instant low-pass filtering, or immediate octave shifting. You can save \u003cstrong\u003e3 presets\u003c\/strong\u003e directly on the pedal (with LED indicators), control \u003cstrong\u003eall parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e via an \u003cstrong\u003eexpression pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e, and integrate the Dark Star Stereo into an advanced setup thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI\u003c\/strong\u003e (Program Change for presets, CC for controls). Regarding routing, it supports \u003cstrong\u003emono\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estereo\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003emono-to-stereo\u003c\/strong\u003e configurations, with top-mounted jacks and soft-touch footswitches for silent operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a \u003cstrong\u003edense, textured, and instantly recognizable\u003c\/strong\u003e reverb, with an aesthetic ranging from \"dark velvet\" to sharp, grainy halos. The Dark Star Stereo does not aim for clinical transparency: it favors a \u003cstrong\u003elo-fi color\u003c\/strong\u003e, dynamic responsiveness to playing, and a rare ability to generate \u003cstrong\u003epads\u003c\/strong\u003e that fill space without necessarily relying on traditional delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dual pitch-shift creates lush stereo washes but can also produce deliberately dissonant harmonic tension for more experimental atmospheres. The filter helps place the reverb \"behind\" your sound or, conversely, make it stand out, and Multiply can transform a simple sustained note into a deep \u003cstrong\u003esoundscape\u003c\/strong\u003e. This very \"instrumental\" approach is found in musicians like \u003cstrong\u003eEmily Hopkins\u003c\/strong\u003e, who uses it for textures and drones with both amplified acoustic instruments and electronic sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
