here at Just Pedals we love this Old Blood Noise Endeavors Sunlight Dynamic Freeze Reverb Pedal.
Old Blood Noise Endeavors are one of those niche stompbox brands that never settle for the ordinary! Their Sunlight pedal is an incredible tool for experimental guitar players — an envelope triggered multi-mode reverb with the ability to dynamically freeze and sustain your notes forever. Want to create truly mesmerising sunlit soundscapes? This pedal achieves that with ease, and much more!
Building on what made OBNE’s immensely-popular Dark Star pedal such a stellar early-chain pad reverb, Sunlight twists it into the other dimension as a reverb centred around the idea of a dynamic hold. When you play, your new notes are let through and old notes are allowed to fade away, but when you stop playing, old notes have the chance to repeat forever. It's like nothing else!
Key Features
- 'Input' knob for dynamic sensitivity and 'Decay' control for reverb feedback, to form enveloping infinite reverb.
- 'Tape', 'Comb', and 'Pass' modes to apply wobbling vibrato, stacked resonant delays, or random step filtering to the reverb!
- 'Rate' and 'Depth' controls are specific to each mode, for a super-wide sonic palette.
- Expression pedal control over 'Input', 'Decay', 'Rate', and 'Depth' parameters.
- Performance-friendly 'Alt' footswitch allows you to quickly snap to a particular knob setting.
- Soft-touch switching with true relay bypass.
- Powered by regular 9-volt DC power supply (centre negative, 2.1 mm, ~80 mA current draw).
Simple Operation, 3 Sonic Modes
Old Blood Noise Endeavors' effects might sound complex to the ear, but the company prides itself on making pedals that are dead-simple to use. Their Sunlight is no exception, with just two knobs controlling the nature of the relationship between the new and old notes passing through, fading away and repeating for eternity.
In addition, there are three sonic modes that highlight modulation, comb filtering and resonant bandpass filtering, each of which takes their own spin on the reverb signal. The Mix, Input and Decay dials work exactly the same across each mode, as they help control the dynamics.
Plenty of Control
Mix sets the loudness of the reverb, which goes from all dry to all wet and anywhere in between — allowing you to create everything from subtle reverberations to deep ambient textures.
Now, the interplay between Input and Decay is where the real Sunlight magic starts to happen. Decay determines how long the reverb trails will sustain, which will go from quick ephemeral evaporations to infinite reverb pads. On the other hand, Input controls how much of your signal is allowed into and fed back within the re

Noise
Noise gates, available on justpedals.co.uk, are pedals designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted background noise in a musician’s signal chain. They work by setting a threshold level so that only sounds above that level pass through, while softer, unwanted noises—like hum, hiss, or amp buzz—are suppressed or “gated” out. This is particularly useful in live performance or recording settings, where background noise can distract from the clarity and precision of a musician’s tone. Noise gates can create a cleaner, more polished sound, especially when used with high-gain setups or multiple pedals that may introduce noise.
These pedals typically offer adjustable controls for threshold, decay, and sometimes attack, allowing musicians to fine-tune the noise gate’s response for their specific setup and style. By setting the right threshold, musicians can preserve the dynamics of their playing while effectively managing noise. The noise gates on justpedals.co.uk cater to various needs, from straightforward, easy-to-use models to more advanced options with nuanced control settings. For guitarists and other musicians seeking a cleaner, more professional sound, noise gates provide a valuable solution to manage unwanted audio interference in their signal path.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Reverb
Reverb, short for reverberation, is a fundamental audio effect that simulates the sound reflections and decay that occur in physical spaces, such as rooms, halls, or chambers. It adds depth, dimension, and ambiance to audio signals, creating a sense of space and realism. In the context of guitar effects, a reverb pedal is a device that generates and applies reverb effects to the guitar signal. Here’s how reverb pedals work and some common features:
1. **Reverb Types**: Reverb pedals typically offer different types of reverb effects, including spring reverb, plate reverb, hall reverb, room reverb, and ambient or modulated reverb. Each type emulates the characteristics of different physical spaces and has its own unique sound and character.
2. **Controls**: Reverb pedals feature various controls for adjusting parameters such as decay time, pre-delay, damping, tone, and mix. Decay time controls the length of the reverb tail or decay, while pre-delay adjusts the time between the original signal and the onset of the reverb. Damping controls the high-frequency content of the reverb, simulating absorption in the virtual space. Tone controls the overall tonal character of the reverb, and mix adjusts the balance between the dry (original) and wet (affected) signals.
3. **Modulation**: Some reverb pedals include modulation effects such as chorus or tremolo that modulate the reverb tail, adding movement and depth to the sound. Modulation can create lush, swirling textures and enhance the overall ambiance of the reverb effect.
4. **Trail Function**: Many reverb pedals offer a trail function, which allows the reverb tail to continue decaying naturally when the effect is bypassed. This prevents abrupt cutoffs and ensures smooth transitions between affected and unaffected signal states.
5. **Spring Tank vs. Digital Reverb**: Reverb pedals can use either spring tanks or digital processing to generate reverb effects. Spring reverb pedals emulate the sound of vintage spring reverb units found in amplifiers, while digital reverb pedals use algorithms to simulate a wide range of reverb types and settings.
6. **Size and Form Factor**: Reverb pedals come in various sizes and form factors, from compact mini pedals to larger, feature-rich units. Choose a pedal size and form factor that fits your pedalboard layout and offers the desired features and controls for your needs.
Reverb pedals are widely used in various music genres, including rock, blues, jazz, ambient, and experimental music. They can add depth, warmth, and atmosphere to guitar tones, enhance the spatial imaging of recordings, and create immersive soundscapes for performances. Whether used subtly to add a touch of room ambiance or dialed in for dramatic, expansive effects, reverb pedals are essential tools for shaping guitar tones and creating captivating sounds.
