THE MIDIUM® CURATOR'S NOTE: Signature Edition

Recognizing the people behind a musical instrument's creation is as vital as recognizing the artist who plays it and the audience who appreciates it. In that spirit, The Midium® asked Brady Smith of Old Blood Noise Endeavors to please sign a run of their Dark Star V3 pedals in our collection. It is The Midium®'s hope that you feel a deeper connection with your Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star V3 Signature Edition, with the knowledge that Brady himself added a personal touch to the units in our collection. All of our Signature Edition pedals and instruments are priced the same as unsigned versions because we simply wanted to take an extra step for the Artists who count on The Midium® and offer a more unique and special experience every time a pedal or instrument is played.  We hope you enjoy this special pedal, as it takes the philosophy of Dark Star to the stereo realm and beyond.

LO-FI SOUNDSCAPES SCATTERED IN STEREO.

Dark Star is a characterful lo-fi reverb, ideal for slow attack and pad generation. Around the core voice are a number of controls for signal degradation, filtering, pitch shifting, added delay, and utilities like mix and volume.

For integration into many different rigs, Dark Star has stereo in and out with analog dry through and trails or true bypass switching. Presets, expression control over every knob, and MIDI control over every element round out the robust feature set.  This is a reverb for anywhere in your signal chain, and almost an instrument of its own.

 

CONTROLS.

  • Filter to set a low pass or high pass filter on the reverb

  • Pitch 1 and Pitch 2 to set two independent pitch shifts from -2 octaves to +2 octaves

  • Crush to introduce either sample rate reduction or overdrive

  • Lag to introduce additional delay to the reverb

  • Multiply to add feedback to the whole system, enhancing effects like rising and falling pitch shifts

  • Decay to set the main trail length of the reverb

  • Volume to set overall volume

  • Mix to set effect blend from 100% dry to 100% wet

  • Spread to simultaneously pan left and right in opposite directions

  • Aux switch to indefinitely sustain trails, close the low pass filter, or set the pitches to +1 octave, depending on setting

  • Soft-touch Bypass footswitch for true bypass and minimal switch noise

Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).
