Old Blood Noise Endeavors, Setback Reverse

Setback is a reverse delay pedal. In the past, we’ve made what we like to call textural reverse pedals, a lineage that goes from Rever to Minim to BL-44 and a little bit into Parting. With Setback, we wanted to create our ideal reverse: something that can be textural and off on its own timing or totally tempo synced; gritty and characterful or clean and tidy; intuitive and controlled and yet fun and surprising. And we wanted to do all of that in the smallest form factor possible.

Setback has:

• Stereo in and out with analog dry through

• Buffered trails or true bypass switching

• Presets

• Expression control over every knob

• MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including MIDI clock in for external syncing

Controls

• Mix to set the blend of wet and dry signals

• Speed to change the playback speed of the reverse, creating pitch shifting effects

• Div to set subdivisions of the reverse timing

• Clock to adjust the sample rate of the reverse, changing both the delay time and the signal fidelity

• Aux switch for tap tempo and held feedback, or preset switching

• Alt controls for volume and direct time manipulation

• Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise
