Here's what Dreadbox say about the Raindrops

Dreadbox Raindrops is a Hybrid Delay/Pitch Shifter/Reverb pedal that takes the concept of short echos on a different level. It is equipped with multiple delay stages and different chips and you can choose between 3 different play modes, where in each one you can have a whole new experience and alternative soundscapes. You can achieve from simple short echoes, to long, dirty and lo-fi delays and from simple pitch shifting bursts to extensively lasting reverbs.

Key Features

  • Delay, Pitch Shifter, Reverb
  • Hybrid circuit with multiple delay stages and ICs
  • Delay times from 50ms up to 1 sec with tap tempo (above 700ms starts to become lo-fi and some dirt is added to the repeats)
  • True stereo in and out
  • 3 different algorithms:
  • Modulated delay
  • Pitch shifted delay
  • Lush reverb
  • Preset memory for each algorithm

Common Uses

  • Standard Delay

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.

Delay & Reverb Pedals

Delay and reverb are combined here because both create a sense of time and space but do so differently. Delay produces distinct repeats; reverb builds a dense field of reflections around the note. Dual-effect designs may run the sections in series or parallel, synchronise them to tempo and allow separate routing, so the interaction can range from a short room with a single echo to long, evolving ambient trails.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

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.

Hybrid

Combines analogue and digital stages within one signal or control design. A digital section may provide memory, routing or modelling while analogue circuitry supplies clipping, filtering or amplification, so the order and blend of the two domains shape the final 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.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.
