Mr. Black Bloodmoon
Mr Black · pedal
The Mr. Black BloodMoon is a modulated reverb pedal built on the foundation of the brand's SuperMoon reverb algorithm, delivering a dark, eerie, moody reverb character that distinguishes it from brighter reverb pedals. It offers a fluid, thick reverb voicing capable of full 100% wet operation, ranging from a subtle touch of space and breath to full, immersive ambient washes. An expression pedal assigned to the mix control allows seamless transitions from full ambience back to the dry signal while the reverb trail continues to decay. It suits players wanting a distinctively dark, atmospheric reverb character rather than a bright, pristine hall or plate voicing.
