Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star v1: Chaotic Beauty... (no talking)

Hello, I hope everyone is having a great day. Today, I present the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star v1. This pedal is one of my first ambient reverbs that I purchased back in 2015. It helped pave the way for my sonic exploration. The sound feels like a memory, a chaotic nightmare, or perhaps a distant echo. It's a chaotic, beautiful, mysterious, enchanting abyss of sound.
I had an amazing time making this video. I've been trying to make improvements to the overall quality of the videos so I hope you like it. Thanks, to everyone for taking the time to watch, it's been an awesome journey so far.
Shoutout to ‪@oldbloodnoise‬ for making some truly unique gear. Please go support them if you can. I saw that they have retired the Dark Star but it's not too late to grab one from retailers or a darklight or anything from them for them. Also, shoutout to the ambient pioneers from the pedal demo world who inspired me to make this video.
I wanted to thank everyone for checking out my previous video on Tera Echo. The support has been unreal! In case you missed it, you can find it in the link below.

This is incredible, I’ve been using this pedal for months and now I have more to explore with because of this video! Truly amazing

[@pedalgaze]

heyo! Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm incredibly stoked that you liked the video. I was messing around with it last night with the delay infinite mode into a mood mk1 into a tera echo. Put me into such a relaxing mood lol. There's so much room to explore and when you get to a sound you like its so rewarding to start making sounds! Happy exploring and happy freaking Friday!

[@flyingpig5622]

so beautiful i have to buy lmao

[@phladjki]

Excellent - I hadn’t heard these sounds out of this pedal until this demo

[@pedalgaze]

Thanks! It's wild how many sounds you can get.

[@SomeoneElsesDrink]

Awesome vid, as per. Got me searching for decent deals on this now. Damn it.

[@pedalgaze]

hah sorry! 🙃 I know the feeling, I've always got pedals I'm lusting over haha. Thanks so much for supporting me from the beginning! It means the world! hope you're well.

Pitch Mode with distortion sounds so good here

[@pedalgaze]

I know! Love using this before reverb to crunch everything up.

[@eylvy]

@@pedalgaze In this video, are you using a distortion pedal before the Dark Star?

[@pedalgaze]

I’m using it before. I’m getting the distortion with the ua dream by cranking pre amp on that pedal

[@tusleplopp1]

I often think of selling mine, then i listen to it, and i change my mind :P Thanks for reminding me why i should keep it!

[@pedalgaze]

heck ya! great to hear. it always surprises me what this pedal can do. Stoked to see what they cook up for the v3 version.

[@tusleplopp1]

@@pedalgaze i had completely forgotten there would be a v3. I have the v1, and i honestly never tried the v2. I have a sunlight on order as well, which i am sooo stoked to get my grubby mits on. Weird thing is, i'm not really super into reverb, but i have a slö, a darkstar and soon a sunlight. Rarely even do shoegaze styles. Have you tried the OBNE BL-44? I absolutely love running the Dark star into the reverse delay goodness.

[@pedalgaze]

Same here, had the v1 since it was released way back. Always wanted to try the sunlight. same with the bl-44 reverse. Love how simple the pedal design is. Right now I'm having a blast sending reversed and octave loops to the dark star to totally mangle them. my rule of thumb is you can never have enough reverb or delay or anything haha.@@tusleplopp1

[@fuzzedOut]

these are some really awesome sounds, nice. You think you might try the sunlight sometime?

[@pedalgaze]

Thanks so much! It was a blast exploring. It’s wild how many sounds you can get. I’d would love to try the sunlight. Just haven’t had the opportunity to get my hands on one. Hopefully soon. Would love to try a dark light as well. Cheers
