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
For more information, see the Setback manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).
Dimensions: 3.25” (width) x 5” (height) x 2” (depth)

Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Dimensions: 4.25” (width) x 5” (height) x 2” (depth).
Sunlight is a reverb pedal focused on motion and dynamics. Post-reverb delay, filtering, and volume control all can be modulated via the onboard LFO, letting you craft your own flanger, chorus, moving filter, or tremolo effects through different combinations of parameters. A dynamic knob lets you either create dynamically held trails or enveloping LFO rates. This counterpoint to Dark Star brings lightness and excitement, and sits perfectly on a pedalboard alongside it.
For integration into many different rigs, Sunlight has:
Stereo in and out with analog dry through
Trails or true bypass switching
Presets
Expression control over every knob
MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including MIDI clock in and out for external syncing
Controls
Dry to set dry volume
Dynamics to set either the reverb input threshold or rate envelope sensitivity
Decay to move from very short to indefinitely held reverb trails
Feedback to add feedback to the post-reverb delay
Rate, Depth, and Shape to determine the motion of the LFO
Time to set the post-reverb delay time
Freq to set the post-delay filter cutoff
Wet to set the overall wet volume
Aux switch to tap in tempo, indefinitely hold trails, or use as a preset switcher
Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise
For more information, see the Sunlight manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).
Dimensions: 4.25” (width) x 5” (height) x 2” (depth).

Bathing is a liminal delay: perhaps a reverb, or a phaser, or a classic delay, but never exactly any one of these things. It’s a style of effect unique to the Old Blood lineup. You pick the overall delay time, the number of allpass filter stages it runs through to get there, and how you want to modulate the character of those stages. Turn knobs, fear not, and be sure to save that preset when you find it!
For integration into many different rigs, Bathing has:
Stereo in and out with analog dry through
Trails or true bypass switching
Presets
Expression control over every knob
MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including MIDI clock in and out for external syncing
Controls
Time to set the central delay time, as well as choose between six subdivisions when holding the Tap footswitch
Stages to set the number of stages the delay passes through, from two to twelve
Feedback to set the overall feedback amount
Filter to darken or brighten the character of the delay
Rate, Depth, and Shape to determine the motion and character as the delay moves through its stages, with a variety of LFO shapes and two envelope options
Dry to set the volume of the dry signal
Wet to set the volume of the delay
Dimension to add subtle stereo chorus/mono vibrato to the wet signal
Tap/Aux switch to tap in tempo, hold for infinite feedback, or optionally use as a preset switcher
Soft-touch Bypass footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise
For more information, see the Bathing manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).

Signal Blender Stereo is designed for making parallel effects loops, giving new creative options beyond the sounds of pedals in series. Collaboration with 29 Pedals means this pedal has massive headroom (+-15V) and clean phase response throughout the signal path. It can also be a one-to-three splitter or three-to-one combiner, making it a versatile tool for your setup. Features include:
Stereo input and output, and two stereo effects loops, with the option for mono-to-stereo splitting at the main input
Can be used in mono with TS cables instead of TRS cables
Individual volume knobs and footswitches to set the amount of Loop A, Loop B, or Clean signal at the Output
Trails switching for Loop A and Loop B
Phase inversion switch for the return of Loop A and Loop B
MIDI control of on/off and trails switches
Option for true bypass from input to output when all switches are off
Soft touch switching
9V center negative DC power input, scaled up to +-15V internally
For more information, see the Signal Blender Stereo manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 500mA (not included).

Beam Splitter takes one signal and makes three copies of it, taking three different overdrive voices and sending two of them through individual delay lines. It is specifically our way of creating a huge sound out of a regular one. Output can be kept in parallel mono, spread out in stereo, or further split into three outputs (what we call “trereo”). While the goal is singular bigness, you can create classic drives, flangers, lofi vibratos, trailing slapback echoes, and more using the full control set.
Beam Splitter V2 has:
Buffered trails or true bypass switching
Presets
Expression control over every knob
MIDI control over everything in the pedal
Mono or stereo input (stereo will be collapsed to mono when the pedal is on), and mono, stereo, or trereo output
Controls include:
Gain, Volume, and Tone to shape the amount of distortion, overall volume, and brightness of each drive section
Time and Feedback controls for each delay to set the timing (up to 211mS) and the amount of resonance or decay
Deviate to randomly vary the delay time, giving a more natural feel and chorus effect
Spread to set the amount of stereo spread
Delay Select to choose which drives are delayed
For more information, see the Beam Splitter V2 manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).
