I got my Dark Light like a month or so ago. And it has been WONDERFUL. It just has so much character! So many cool and weird and wonderful tones. It's not your standard reverb, and that's what makes it cool. The Dark Star and the Sunlight are both very quirky, "opinionated" reverbs. They behave almost like their own instruments, rather than like traditional ambient space emulation. And bring them together in one (very beautiful) box unlocks all sorts of possibilities that wouldn't exist with the pedals in isolation. It's floaty, it's sparkly, it's dreamy, it's brooding, it's somber, it's gritty, it's... unlike any pedal I've ever owned.
You say the words I would also say about this pedal. They aren’t just reverbs in the sense they are unique textural instruments wielding reverb as a paintbrush the room be it the canvas. Much like Stefan used them here. Really lovely
This demo made me realize I need to get obsessed with Tides of Man's Young and Courageous album again.
Now that's an obsession I can get behind! That album had a huge impact on me back in the day
Dude, I'd listen to a whole album based on that track. That was amazing! You gotta do it!
Exceptionally kind of you to say. Thank you!
I agree! That sounded awesome!!!
Never mind the pedal, what an amazing track!
Really kind of you. Thank you! I'm super pleased with how that composition turned out as well. Wouldn't have been inspired to create it without the pedal though, so it does play a big part in it all :)
Very cool.love when Stefan cooks. I agree with the other commenters, he needs to sell an album of blissful tearful ambience.
Jeez dood that feels
Happy you enjoyed it :)
The 4 way video split is a lot of fun, love seeing those. Great showcase Stephan.
Awww! Cheers, man!
Wow other amazing pedals!!!!!!this channel is the best in the world!!!
Thank you! So sweet of you 🙏
While the pedal is out of my budget for now, this video inspired me to work more on my writing and guitar layering skills. Absolutely beautiful song!
Deeply honored to hear that!
Beautiful!!!❤❤❤
The end reminded me of King Crimson’s ‘The Sheltering Sky’. I’ve always loved that sound!
Thank you! Fripp is the master of faux synth/string sounds
@@thepedalzone : And don’t forget Adrian Belew! 😊
Sounds incredible!! If you ever release an album of 'demos' I will be in line to purchase it. You not only demonstrate some of the potential of a pedal, but you have a gift for writing beautiful sounding and uplifting music. The ending swells were gorgeous. Cheers!!!!
Awwww! Thanks, buddy. That's really sweet of you. I'll see if I can get some of these tunes up on bandcamp in the near future. Could be fun :)
The most beautiful guitar pedal in the world! And gorgeous track. Thank you, Stefan!!!!!
Fully agree on the looks of this pedal. The design and print quality is on a completely surreal high level. It looks even better in real life. The details in the print are exquisite. And I’m honored to her you liked the track. Means a lot to me 🙏
Cool Pedal & Cool Stefan!
Thank you so much! :D
super cool track Stefan !
Thanks, guys! Means a lot to me 🙏
great track
Thank you!!
beautiful!!!
❤️❤️❤️
If I got this I don’t think I’d go outside for a month.
Who needs it when you can have Sunlight inside :)
Beautiful song !!! Ya nailed it. 🙏🤘
Thank you very much!
Wow that intro track was fire!
Thank you!!!
We need more dark light inspiration from you!!
Awesome sounds!
Cheers! Happy you enjoyed it. This pedal definitely contains some spectacular textures
Sounds awesome, man
Cheers, bud!
Dreamy...
Happy you enjoyed it :)
Holy cow! What a beautiful pedal!
Happy you dig it! It’s a stunner
nice!!!!
Thank you!
Very cool and tasteful sounds. When can we hear your album? 🙃 Your way to create music is inspiring. The pedal is quite ok, but your guitar playing is awesome. So many cool ideas. 😊
Thank you! That's incredibly kind of you to say :)
tot beautiful ❤
Thank you!!
@@thepedalzone 🤜🏻🤛🏻
What a demo, gave me classic EF vibes.
Pedal is a serious badass
Honored to hear it made you think of EF. Massive fan of that band
@@thepedalzone Theyre so under appreciated too. Give me Beauty and Mourning are both masterpieces
Awesome!
Thanks! ❤️
damn!
My words exactly, when I plugged into this pedal for the first time. So good! Happy you like it :)
Around 1:00 mark is class
Thank you!
This format of video is waaay more subscribe/ Binge worthy and likable. Please do more!
Happy you enjoyed it :)
Can we get a long video on this been waiting for you to do a video on it 🙏🙏
It's in the works and on its way :)
@@thepedalzone oh Faqk yas!! Thank you Stefan!! 🙏🤘☺️
Ive been waiting !!!! I needed inspiration to keep it, I just can't tame the verbs to be usable. This and Console do not play well together as of yet.
I think it's important to not think of Dark Star, Sunlight and hence also Dark Light as a traditional reverb. It's a transformative texture machine. An ambient drone delight. I recommend exploring the 100% wet sounds in this thing. The sounds that carry you away from the traditional transients of a guitar and takes you into swelling symphonic soundscapes. I really think that's where it shines.
@@thepedalzone I think I am using it wrong , I am looking for conventional usage from this and its really not that. Thanks per usual.
I'll take three please.
Deal :D
Stefan I must know...desert island pedal...this or the mercX. Sorry for the tough question man. Always love your vids. Thank you for the inspiration as always.
You are my Eddie Van Halen.
Fax dude! And I’m a bass player
Really sweet of you to say. The good thing is that my music is way easier to play than Van Halen's. So it's achievable by music mortals :)
Wow another masterpiece...
You should write a new proper album for The Gathering...
Thank you! Had a lot of fun composing it :)
The Lo-Fi Whammy is a mode on the OBNE pedal, yeah? So that was just an expression pedal plugged into it?
Yes, you can create whammy like effects when using an expression pedal together with Pitch or Crush mode in Dark Light
@@thepedalzone nice - thank you!
As soon as they let Sweetwater sell OBNE I'll pick it up!
You can also just buy it directly from OBNE, if you're in the US. Support the designers and makers directly :)
This, is a great pedal. It's too bad it was a limited edition and now costs one of your kidneys to purchase. OBNE, make more!
If you're in the EU, you can buy it at my online store, without selling you kidneys.
@@thepedalzone Alas, I'm in the US.
@@frankfrank7921old blood still has them for sale on the site.
@@frankfrank7921 - Pretty sure you can still get it directly from OBNE then. Doesn't say out of stock on their website
Wait, there’s a whammy function available in this thing??
Yeah! Hook an expression pedal to it, and set it to control the pitch voice in Pitch Mode or Crush Mode and you have yourself a cool lo-fi Whammy effect
Hi Stefan!
I got the Darklight a while back, and it seems like it has a hard time when there are TRS in stereo pedals behind it… Have you found a workaround for this?
I’m undecided on this Darklight pedal or the Walrus Audio Sloer. Any suggestions anyone?
I have an afterneath at the beginning of my chain. Would you run this at the end or with the afterneath before it? I'm curious. I currently have a night sky and ventris at the end of my chain.
All depends on how you intend to route Dark Light. If you're playing in stereo, then I think it should go after the Afterneath, since Dark Light sounds glorious in stereo. But if you're playing in mono, then definitely experiment with placing Dark Light at the very beginning of the chain. It's main super powers lies in its highly transformative all wet tones, that can turn your instrument into something completely different. And something like that is fun to send down stream into other effects
@@thepedalzone Thank you for the reply. Your playing, and channel got me into ambient music which I never knew existed.
Nice but what else does it do. For that price, I'd expect more.
Any differences if you use the two separate pedals together vs this combined version?
Yeah, there's a bunch of differences. You have multiple routing options in this one. Series Mono, Parallel Mono, mono -> stereo and true stereo. Then you have the Spread control which gives you control over the stereo separation of the two sides for a myriad of sound design options. And the hold switch lets you Hold and sustain the two sides at the same time, or individually, or switch between them, depending on how you set it up.
How much does it cost?
Hey mate does this pedal have delay and reverb?
It’s two Old Blood reverb pedals in one pedal (Dark Star and Sunlight, hence the name Dark Light). If you’re not familiar with those two pedals, then I recommend you check out my in depth demos of them in my channel :) Both sides have 3 different reverb modes, and some of them can be made into sounding somewhat like a delay, but it’s definitely not your conventional delay tones. You can get cascading slapbacks via the Comb mode on the Light side and you can get dark pad-like sonar echoes via the Delay setting on the Dark side. Hope this helps :) So in short, it’s a textural reverb pedal, but you can coax delay-like sounds from it if you want to
@@thepedalzone sounded awesome. Almost like the old super Nintendo, Dreamcast, PS1 fighting Kombat games. Killer instinct, Tekken, street fighter
@@thepedalzone ua-cam.com/video/aNwOE3vvPk8/v-deo.htmlsi=6jMzXpZGiHxgd_kv
Where can I find music like this? Full songs. I’m aware of Sigur Ros and really like them. Who else is a good listen?
If you want to get into post-rock, then great places to start would be Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Caspian, Mono, EF, Godspeed You Black Emperor and God is an Astronaut. Enjoy the sonic adventures 😊
@@thepedalzone thank you! 🙏
@jonmagnus3510 My pleasure 😊
Mine will be here tomorrow!
Awesome!
Yawn
Ah, I've been waiting for this! Thank you!
Happy you're excited. Hope you enjoy the sounds :)
