Description
Darkness is more than the absence of light—it’s the space where transformation begins, where the unknown calls to those brave enough to venture in. Key Features:
- Granular pitch shifter followed by lush, Typhon-style reverb
- Up to 30 seconds of decay with modulation (Triangle or Sample & Hold)
- Pitch shift up to ±12 semitones with a shimmer effect
- Freeze function that captures up to 150ms of the input signal
- Gate effect with adjustable attack and release
- Selectable tails bypass for smooth or sharp transitions
- True stereo input and output
Dreadbox DARKNESS is a Digital True Stereo Reverb effect pedal and it is a result of a collaboration with Sinevibes.
Technically, the Dreadbox DARKNESS is a Granular Pitch Shifter, followed by the famous large Reverb found on their Typhon synthesizer and ending up to a gate generator.
In addition to this, there is also a micro looper that can hold up 150ms of the input signal, in order to create a freeze effect. Experimenting is strongly suggested.
By combining two of Sinevibes’ exquisite Algorithms, the Dreadbox team took things even further by extending the code and making these suitable for use as an effect pedal. Dreadbox favours open architecture in most of their devices, so instead of having several switched algorithms, DARKNESS has a single versatile and flexible formula, that can create from Small and Smooth Reflections up to Huge Shimmering and Endless Reverbs.
