US brand Old Blood Noise Endeavors has recently announced the launch of their new BL-52 Phase Repeater pedal.
Using the same kind of unique effect that OBNE had stumbled upon when developing their Dweller pedal, the BL-52 Phase Repeater brings this core sound to the deceptively simple, yet extra creative BL-Series of effect devices.
Existing somewhere between Phaser, Delay and Reverb, OBNE’s Phase Repeater sounds like nothing else. This new pedal is solely focused on this effect, with the BL-series unique Clock control slider making it dead simple to get these very special and fun tones. By affecting the sample rate, the slider adjusts the signal fidelity, the timing of the phase repetition and the speed of the LFO. This shapes the diffusion of the repetition with a single control, helping to create a new world of ambience.
BL-52 Phase Repeater will be available and shipping from Audio Distribution Group very soon!
Further pushing the boundary of clock-defined pedals, the latest entry in Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ BL series is a Phase Repeater, in the process making a genre entirely of its own.
Phase repetition takes the modulation of a phaser and applies it to the realm of time, creating a completely unique sound and more like delay or reverb than its namesake phaser.
First used in the OBNE Dweller pedal, the BL-52 Phase Repeater represents a new spin on the sound, with simple controls including a Clock slider that enlightens the timing of everything in the pedal.
OBNE Says…”BL-52 is what we call a phase repeater pedal. It’s an effect we stumbled upon in our Dweller pedal development, living somewhere between phaser, delay and reverb, as it creates a series of repeats both unexpected and pleasing. It’s digital trickery to do something quite unfamiliar and once you’ve bonded with it, is irreplaceable.
The BL-52 Phase Repeater is solely focused on that effect, with the Clock control setting the timing of the entire system: the sample rate that determines signal fidelity, the timing of the phase repetition and the speed of the LFO that shapes the diffusion of the repetition.
In short, it is an effect that does not require exactness, but rather openness to where the repetition will lead you.”
