Greek synth wizards Dreadbox have taken their first step into the realm of effects pedals, with their retro-styled Lethargy, Darkness & Kinematic stompboxes!

The Darkness is a true digital stereo reverb suitable for guitars, basses and synthesisers. Instead of having several switched algorithms like most conventional digital 'verbs, the innovative Dreadbox Darkness has a single versatile and flexible algorithm that can create small and smooth reflections up to immersive, shimmeringly-endless reverbs!

Key Features

  • Flexible shimmer reverb with gate function.
  • 32bit @ 48kHz digital effects processor.
  • Variable time scale with modulation (triangle or sample & hold).
  • Selectable pitch shift (+/-12 semitones) with variable mix amount for shimmering sounds.
  • Up to 30-second decay times.
  • 2-pole damping filter (high-pass or low-pass).
  • Freeze function (loops 150ms of the input signal).
  • Versatile gate effect with variable attack and release times.
  • True stereo operation.
  • Selectable tails bypass.

Specifications

  • Circuit: Digital
  • Bypass: CMOS
  • Audio: Mono
  • Power: 9VDC (center pin negative, 2.1mm)
  • Current Draw: 150mA
  • Dimensions (cm): 14 x 10 x 5.6

Brand

Dreadbox

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Dreadbox is represented by Delay & Reverb Pedals, Fuzz Pedals and Tremolo & Vibrato Pedals. Current listings include Disorder Analogue Filter Fuzz, Darkness Digital Stereo Reverb and Kinematic VCA-Based Compressor. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Reverb Pedals

Reverb creates the dense pattern of reflections heard after sound enters a physical or imagined space. Room, hall, plate and spring models differ in reflection density, frequency decay and modulation, while ambient algorithms extend or transform the tail beyond natural acoustics. Decay, pre-delay, damping, diffusion and wet/dry balance define the apparent size, surface and distance of that space.

Tags

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
