Old Blood Noise Endeavors BL-37 Reverb Variable-Clock Effector

As an Old Blood Noise Endeavors take on reverb, BL-37 Reverb Variable-Clock Effector is a new voice with a streamlined control set: a reverb both more immediate and more degraded than any other.

Thanks to its simple yet intuitive and interactive control set this modulated reverb can be quick and highly reflective or slow and stretchy with noticeable pitched undulations.

The sheer audacity of sound, to fill a room, to fill our heads, to fill our hearts. To act digitally as if tangible, as if these walls could talk, as if this were a real space and not a series of all-pass filters and modulated delays meant to capture the idea of somewhere we’d been before and something we’d done before and something we were before, as if. To give control over the whole thing, to simply stretch by hand the entire clock! It’s a heck of a concept really.

BL-37 is a reverb pedal. It is lush but also ringy, and easily stretchable. It modulates, and sometimes that modulation feels certain, an obvious pitch bend, while other times it washes, simply a shimmering softening element. The control set for BL-37 is simple. A Clock slider sets the timing of the entire system - the sample rate that determines signal fidelity, the timing of the reverb, and the speed of the modulation within that reverb are all affected as the slider slides. Additional controls for Feedback, Mix, and Volume allow you to further craft the spatial voice in play here.
