Setback: The Culmination of OBNE's "Reverse" Signature
Old Blood Noise Endeavors has long cultivated a "backwards" aesthetic that has become a true signature, already showcased in beloved models like Rever, Minim, and BL-44. With Setback, the brand takes the concept further by focusing exclusively on the magic of reverse, without diluting it with other effects: deeper depth, more control, more routing and control options, all while maintaining a direct and musical approach.
Who Is the Setback For (and Which Styles Does It Shine In)?
The Setback is aimed at guitarists (and more broadly musicians using pedalboards) who want to make reverse a true language: riffs that "pull" backwards, cinematic atmospheres, ghostly leads, or harmonic layers that build themselves. It excels particularly in psychedelia, shoegaze, indie, ambient, post-rock, and experimental music, but it can also become a formidable tool for creating transitions, intros, or "production" effects in pop/rock contexts.
Its format and modern features (stereo, presets, MIDI) make it equally relevant in live and studio settings: you can prepare precise settings, recall them instantly, and maintain rhythmic coherence with tap tempo or external sync.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Setback work in stereo?
The pedal supports mono, stereo, and mono-in stereo-out configurations through its stereo inputs and outputs. The jacks are located on the top of the enclosure to facilitate integration on pedalboards.
Can the reverse delay be synchronized to tempo?
The Div control selects tempo subdivisions, while the Aux input can be assigned to tap tempo. MIDI synchronization is also provided, with full MIDI access to all parameters.
What type of lo-fi sound does the Clock control produce?
The variable sample rate ranges from 49 kHz down to 500 Hz. At low sample rates, the Clock control alters fidelity and degradation to create crushed grains and decayed trails.
Does the pedal preserve the dry signal intact?
An Analog Dry-Through maintains the dry signal while the Mix control adjusts the dry/wet balance. The bypass mode can be selected between True Bypass and Buffered Bypass with trails.
How can the Setback be controlled with an expression pedal?
An expression input allows parameter control. Speed affects playback speed with quantized pitch shift effects, and alternative controls provide smooth adjustment of volume or time. Power requires a 9 V DC adapter, not included.
