The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Sunlight Stereo is a stereo reverb and ambient pedal from Old Blood Noise Endeavors (OBNE) (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), a respected US boutique manufacturer known for inventive, experimental effects. The Sunlight Stereo delivers lush stereo reverb with shimmer and modulation in wide stereo for ambient, post-rock, and studio guitar, reflecting OBNE boutique quality applied to a stereo ambient reverb format.
The Walrus Audio Mako Series R1 is a high-fidelity stereo reverb, the sequel to the acclaimed D1 delay, offering six reverb types with deep adjustment in a compact pedal. Dedicated Decay, Swell, and Mix knobs sit alongside a Tweak knob that accesses Rate, Depth, and Pre-Delay, a Tune knob for low and high frequency voicing, and an X parameter unique to each reverb, such as overdrive on Spring or room size on Hall. Modes include lush halls and rooms plus experimental voices like Refract, a glitchy texture over diffuse reverb, and Air, an aerated reverb with subtle shimmer. It excels at expansive stereo space and ambient exploration. It suits ambient, post-rock, and experimental players wanting a versatile, workstation-grade reverb with presets in a compact enclosure.
