Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ unique pedals tend to push back at stompbox convention. That’s certainly the case with the BL-82 Chorus Variable Clock Effector. It’s built around a Spin FV-1 digital reverb processor with two delay lines that are modulated by LFOs in opposing cycles. In this configuration, one delay line increases in pitch as the other decreases. And despite lacking stereo output, this novel modulation approach creates very complex chorus sounds in the BL-82. Chorus isn’t the only effect color on tap either. Because the delay lines each reach a maximum time of around 600 milliseconds, they permit various doubling, slapback, and long-delay effects too.
