Get your Batverb here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Batverb is the stereo reverb that dreams are made of: less of a room simulator and more of a tail generating pedal, Batverb is an instrument in its own right.

Taking inspiration from our popular tail-generating modules, Batverb brings reverberation and delay to a whole new level with extensive control of timbre, echoes, and dynamics.

Start by setting a predelay time and adjusting Regen to set the length of the tail, from a short slapback-style echo to an infinite wall of reverberation. A variety of unique controls make Batverb sing in any signal chain:

Doom adds in chaotic suboctaves, and Shimmer brings in haunting overtones. With each on its own control, go wild and have both at the same time!

Low and high damping settings for the reverb tank

Add filtering and harmonics to reverb tails

Built-in saturation can apply to only the wet signal or the whole output
Includes onboard dry/wet Blend control and input- and output-gain parameters

Unique Duck switch controls the reverb’s behavior: duck out of the way of an input signal, or match the dynamics of your playing, similar to a gated reverb

Create instant atmospheres with reverb-freezing Hold footswitch
Route the expression input can to any parameter on the pedal

Store and recall 16 different presets and recall them in response to MIDI program-change messages.

Press release follows:


Noise Engineering announces Batverb, an experimental reverb, delay, and infinite-tail generator

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their expansive selection of synthesizer effects and sound sources, announces Batverb, a distinctive stereo reverb with a twist.

Noise Engineering’s take on reverb has always been innovative, creating effects that are as much instruments as they are processors. Batverb is no exception: parameters allow the resulting effects to morph organically from slapback delays to infinite reverb tails.

“Batverb was inspired by our Desmodus Versio module, but when we tried to bring the Desmodus experience to guitar, we realized quickly that we would need to rethink the approach. Batverb shares concepts with Desmodus but shares zero code: the entire thing was redesigned from the ground up, with the dynamics and tonality of guitar at the forefront,” said Stephen McCaul, Chief Noisemaker at Noise Engineering. Kris Kaiser who is the Doer of Many Things at the small company added, “Working with guitar was key, but what sounds great on guitar also works really well for loads of other instruments.” Indeed, Batverb’s stereo I/O and MIDI integration make it a perfect choice for a multitude of instruments.

Kaiser continued, “I like to say Batverb isn’t your father’s reverb because it has such unique features.” She’s not wrong. Along with predelay/delay Time and Regen controls, Batverb includes a number of parameters for shaping the tone of the reverb itself. The Grit switch adds a unique harmonic distortion to the tail or the whole mix, and the Doom and Shimmer controls add in subharmonics and overtones. Batverb also has onboard adjustable highpass and lowpass filters to shape the tone to taste.

Batverb’s configurable Bypass footswitch can cut the reverb tail immediately, or simply mute the input to the reverb processor, allowing the tail to ring out while you play. The Infinite footswitch mutes the input to the reverb tank while maximizing the feedback for an infinite atmosphere.

The innovative Duck switch uses the dynamics of your playing to shape the reverb tail. Use the right setting to duck the reverb out of the way of your guitar’s tone, or the left setting to make the reverb’s dynamics match your guitar’s.

Batverb also stores/recalls up to 16 presets with MIDI Program Change messages. Batverb features a convenient MIDI thru jack, so it’s easy to patch into your MIDI control chain. In addition, all parameters can also be controlled via MIDI for automation and remote control from a DAW or configurable controllers.

Noise Engineering is a member of 1% for the Planet and has been donating a percentage of all sales to environmental conservation. Proceeds from Batverb will benefit the organization Bat Conservation International.

Batverb is available for preorder with MSRP of $499. It starts shipping March 13 from noiseengineering.us and retailers worldwide.

Batverb was designed and built in sunny Southern California.

"This cutting-edge filter unit combines the precision of a smooth analog recreation of the classic 2045 Lowpass filter with the bold, dynamic character of Stylophone’s proprietary GEN R-8 filter.

Sign up for the waiting list:
https://stylophone.com/stylophone-df-...

Come and see it at NAMM 2025

Dubbed 'Beauty and the Beast,' the DF-8 offers unparalleled flexibility. The 2045 filter delivers a silky 24 dB/octave Lowpass mode, while the GEN R-8 snarls and howls in all four modes—Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass and Notch. Together, these filters unlock three additional combination types: Bandpass+, Band Reject+, and a wide Notch+ mode, providing an expansive palette of unique filter sounds.

Both filter channels have all eight filter types and are controlled by two full ADSR envelopes with multiple trigger modes to cater for every need. They can be triggered by a gate signal, by an audio signal threshold, by a manual trigger button and they can even auto-repeat in a loop mode acting as LFOs.
The DF-8 is so much more than a dual filter box—it’s a complete sound design tool. Equipped with two white noise sources, a Sample & Hold modulation source with adjustable slew, and a crunchy PT2399 delay with modulation, it serves as a sound source capable of everything from subtle atmospheres to all out sonic chaos.

Like all CPM units, the DF-8 is designed for portability and flexibility. It features:
• Multiple power options, including AA batteries, external PSU, or Eurorack power bus
• A built-in 2W speaker for instant listening without amplification plus stereo outputs
• Stylophone’s unique enclosure design with side ribs allow multiple CPM units to be locked together, for stability like a large modular, and for easy system expansion
Pair the CPM DF-8 with the CPM DS-2 to create the ultimate compact portable analog modular system for studio or stage use.

Features list:

2 Analog multi-mode filter channels with high resonance self-oscillation

8 Filter types per channel:
4 types of GEN R-8 (12 dB/oct) filters with LP, BP, HP and NOTCH modes

Metasonix Penile Amputator vs. X0XB0X


video upload by fishjaco

"An 'uncut' 17 min take of messing around with the new Metasonix box for you to suffer through. Sorry not sorry. XOXO"



via Metasonix

"What is it? It’s a bad thing. Tube distortion pushed too damn far.

It’s the SMALLEST product we have ever made. Shirt pocket size. Inside is a preamp with feedback controls, using two 5702 subminiature pentodes.They are real Raytheon military surplus from the 1980s, not Soviet leftovers. The quality is aces.

ONE knob. The knob controls the feedback and gain. Fully CCW is off. Turn it up about 10% and you get increasingly LOUD signal, sliding into heavy tube distortion. Keep going up and it bursts into VERY LOUD oscillation. That’s the “feature”.

The switch is the other “feature”. It applies feedback to the suppressor grid of the second tube. What does that mean? We don’t know, we’ve never done this before and neither has anyone else. It is “unique” but you get to decide if it is useful or not.

There is a CV input on the front, it basically turns the Amputator into a really awful voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA). Ideally you shouod put at least 0-10 volts into this input. Can’t damage anything because it’s an all-tube circuit and there are no transistors or chips. The output is NOT able to drive “any load” so only feed it into a HIGH impedance unbalanced input.

It’s in a transparent polycarbonate enclosure because we STILL get stupid attacks from fools claiming that there are either no tubes in our products, or else the tubes do nothing and it’s all done with a “ten cent chip”. Fuck you, buttboys.

Here’s the damn photo. No, it does not have a 'bypass switch'. It’s on all the time because you deserve it.

Power required is 12 volts dc, 2.1mm barrel plug, center positive. 700 milliamps on startup and 250 milliamps in normal operation. NOTE: the standard version includes an AC power adapter for 100v-120v countries ONLY. If you are in a 220v-240v country, a “universal” power adapter is available for $20 more. Sorry kids: inflation and supply problems.

Everything sucks. That’s why each Amputator has different offensive stickers on it.

Video demos with drum machines: one, two.

I would put insults of guitar players here, but it’s pointless, they won’t read it. Some of them can’t read at all. Did I ever tell you about my ongoing battle with the IRS over my 2023 estimated tax payments? It’s an ugly little story and most people don’t believe the IRS is that incompetent. Well, they are.

Size: no idea. Small. Weight: a few ounces.

Any more stupid questions?"

Templo Devices T2 - Recreation of the Maestro G2 Guitar Synth Effects Pedal

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by 60 Cycle Hum

"Back in the late 60's Maestro came out with a multi effects unit that was super weird. Fuzz, tremolo, envelope filter, low octave and even percussion settings all mashed together into a playing dynamic triggered, creativity inducing fever dream. Half a century later Templo has recreated that experience with pedalboard friendly modern convenience."

You can find some pics of the original G2 here.



via this listing

"Templo Devices T2 Multi-Effect

Based on a classic coveted Maestro Rhythm N' Sound effect console from the 60's, this unit has kept the original analog flavor, while adding some much needed footswitch functionality.

Combining many unique effects in a handy, pedal-board friendly version, the Templo T2 has the following features:

PERCUSSION

-A percussion synthesizer with 4 different sounds that are triggered by the instrument attack

BASS STRINGS

- A sub-octave generator with quick decay on initial pick attack


FUZZ

- A fuzz effect with parallel dry-blend option (Natural Amp)

WOW WOW

- A triggered filter effect with two fixed (cocked wah) color tone positions

ECHO REPEAT

- A percussive tremolo that resets with each note played giving the illusion of a delay effect.

The main advantage to this unit over a vintage unit (besides availability and price) is the handy footswitching arrangement:

The CANCEL footswitch true-bypasses the entire pedal.

The FUZZ footswitch toggles the fuzz effect, and:

-When the fuzz is bypassed, the Natural Amp setting is always on.

-When fuzz is engaged, the Natural Amp rocker switch toggles a dry blend in parallel with the fuzz

The WOW footswitch bypasses the modulation section, comprising the WOW-WOW, ECHO REPEAT and COLOR TONES 1 and 2 effects. These can be selected for use with the rocker switches and then bypassed using the footswitch.

This pedal is very fun, funky and colorful, imparting a vintage, somewhat lofi vibe to your sonic signature.

The T2 operates on a standard 18V DC center negative power supply.

We recommend running it from a dedicated power supply, as it may sometimes have issues with a multi-output supply.

All analog construction, with mechanical true bypass switching."

Soma Laboratory Introduces HARVEZI HAZZE Distortion Pedal


video uploads by SOMA Laboratory

Playlist:
1. HARVEZI HAZZE + Drums & Synth (no talk demo by SOMA)
2. HARVEZI HAZZE + Guitar & Bass (no talk demo by SOMA)
3. HARVEZI HAZZE (SOMA Labs)



"Harvezi Hazze — a versatile and quite unique distortion pedal with a wide tonal palette.

The heart of Harvezi Hazze is a waveshaper designed around a unijunction transistor, a relic from the early days of the semiconductor industry.

The unique properties of the unijunction transistor allow one simple component to replace a number of complex devices: depending on the operating mode, we can get a distortion, a limiter, a waveshaper and a generator — with a smooth transition between them.

The signal chain of the unit consists of an optical compressor with fixed parameters; a dual-mode distorting amplifier with either softer or harsher clipping; a waveshaper built around a unijunction transistor; and a tone stack section trying to tame all this mess.

Harvezi Hazze works perfectly with guitar, bass, drums and synthesizers.

The net price (without VAT, shipping, customs, money transfer expenses): 290 Euros.

HARVEZI HAZZE will be available for purchase in January 2025."

Ampulla also has a drone voice that can be switched on and off. This is also affected by the onboard contact mic or incoming external signal.
Ampulla's first output is a mix of the contact mic and drone voice. It's second output is solely for the drone voice.

Agentic Devices - Geysers (Max4Live Spectral Modulator)


video upload by Agentic Devices


"Geysers is a Max for Live effect with both a spectral filter and delay-line modulator capable of creating a wide array of effects. Everything from dramatic filter sweeps, primitive pitch-shifting, wild filtered echos, subtle stereo phasing and comb-filter-like resonances are achievable.

At the core of Geysers is the spectral filter which is modulated in stereo by two separate LFOs. This is then routed into the delay-line modulator which can then be fed-back into the spectral filter for dubby filtered delays, flanging, comb-filtering and more.
