Dreadbox Darkness Stereo Shimmer Reverb Effects Pedal
Dreadbox Darkness is a digital stereo reverb effect pedal suitable for fretted instruments and synthesizers. Instead of having several switched algorithms, Darkness has a single versatile and flexible algorithm that can create from small and smooth reflections up to huge shimmering and endless reverbs. Experimenting is strongly suggested!
