Death By Audio Reverberation Machine

The Death By Audio Reverberation Machine is a reverb pedal that pushes far beyond conventional ambience into self-oscillating, overtone-saturated territory. Designed by Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers, it adds harmonic distortion to the reverb signal that intensifies as the mix knob is pushed past noon, eventually producing a roaring, synth-like wash of overtones. The alter knob shifts the pitch of the reverb tail, enabling eerie, pitch-shifted textures unique to this pedal. At lower settings it functions as a warm, colored reverb with character, but its true purpose is creating massive, uncontrollable walls of sound. Each unit is hand-built in New York. The Reverberation Machine occupies a niche that no major manufacturer has attempted to replicate, making it a singular tool for noise and shoegaze.
