From the vendor

Project overview

The Death by Audio Reverberation Machine is for sure the dedicated Belton Brick reverb for sinister lo-if ambient and spherical shimmer sounds. Like all the DBA pedals, this is not your normal type of effect. But I’m sure you already know what you are looking at. This is not everybody’s darling, but if you are looking for something outstanding and special without the hustle of using digital parts, you will love this one.

Introduction

The Reverberation Machine is a synthetic atmosphere creator. Use the effect on any instrument to add depth and simulate different environments. Everything from simulations of vintage amp verb, playing in a cave, large concert halls, and space ships being sucked into wormholes.

With just three simple, intuitive knobs, this pedal allows you to experiment and combine various settings to obtain the perfect ambiance for your sound. Also, a special mention for the toggle allows you to switch between two distinct reverb flavors: Bright Sunshine and Dark Star.

Although the controls are straightforward to use and intuitive, they allow you to easily dial em up the craziest and dreamy wet soundscapes.

Let your sound shimmer and breathe with a new dimension. Build your Death By reverb now!

The toggle switch must be wired off-board on this giveaway version due to the reverb brick’s overlapping. Check on the drilling templates for more information on how to fix it.

Simply place some wires from the switch pads and solder them to the switch offboard.

We are currently working on an updated version not only to solve this issue but also to add some mods that make this pedal way more versatile.
