    Guitar demo and pedal review of the Dark Star from Old Blood Noise Endeavors.
    "The Dark Star is what we would use to create long reverberated pads. The noises underneath the lead. The mood setter. That's the Dark Star. The way a song feels. That's because of the Dark Star.At its heart, the Dark Star is a Reverb. Then the Reverb signal passes through three possible modes: Pitch, Delay and Crush. CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 correspond with the selected mode. In Pitch, you've got two independent pitch controls for + and - an octave. In Delay, you've got the Delay Time and Delay Feedback. In Crush, you've got a pitch control for +/- an octave and then a control for Bit Crush. The Mix and Reverb knobs control the mix of dry/wet signal and the decay of the reverb, respectively." excerpt from www.oldbloodnoise.com

    I want this pedal so badly , as a bass player, I can’t wait till the day I stop saying I want it and just pull the darn trigger on it lol, your first jam kinda gave me some “Godspeed you black emperor” vibes, oh man you just pulled out the DBA Rooms!! Another pedal I need so bad!!, you got my sub, and congrats on smashing your year end Sub goal!!

    Keep it up man, your ch is far and above other demo channels I'm really glad I found it. I know you don't have a ton of traction yet, but be patient and just keep doin what you are and keep making stuff you are happy with. It'll get noticed and start showing up in recc feeds because it is quality. Really good combo of quality production and demo songs but with realistic attainability for the average player. I found your channel on a search for a demo of the EAE FET that wasnt a rat pedal on stun into it and subbed immediately and went back and watched everything you had. I know you are buying pedals out of pocket at this point, but as some juncture would be cool to see proper demos of the eae dude incredible and OxEAE boost, don't feel like they have been properly shown yet...Meaning, you understand how to integrate pedals into a rig sonically and get it working together harmoniously to bring out it's best quality. 🤘👍

      That's really high praise and super kind of you to say. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate your words of encouragement and recommendations too. I've been gassing for the Dude Incredible pretty hard, so you may have pushed me into finally picking one up, sooner than later. Thanks again for the support, friend.

    Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I really love your reviews. I ended up getting a Walrus Lore. Your review was the best out of all the reviews of this pedal that I watched and it got me over the line to drop the $$ on one. The informative content and lack of hype makes it destroy 99% of gear reviews out there. I hope your channel keeps growing exponentially buddy. May the GAS be with you.

The thing is I actually jumped on to watch your Sunn O)) Life pedal review and got so into your channel I ended up watching some others and ended up spending my GAS money on the Lore instead hahaha.

    It's not the most useful pedal I own, but it's one of my favorites. Sometimes I just sit there and make vibey ambient tones and get absolutely lost playing with it.

    Hey dude. Hope you doing well.
    Every time I watch another review I get inspired to write a new song.
    Really sick tunes. I always wanted a dark star. I guess this will be my next reverb next year. Have a good time and happy new year to you and your family.

      @@boringgearreviews Hey dude. I just listened to your music today. Really cool stuff. If I had the recording equipment I would love to do some kind of colab project. That would be epic 😁
      With my band Sands of Polaris we only have 2 Songs on Bandcamp. Live recording in the studio. Pretty decent but nothing special at the moment. Hope there’s more to come next year but our bass player moved to Australia this year and we need to get our new bass player ready first. But let’s see what 2023 brings right ? 🤟🏼

    Finally, someone using this pedal with distortion/fuzz! Except for Abe on his channel Cloud Factory Sound. He isn't really active there, but he made full band tracks for the pedal, which helps us that aren't heavy ambient players.

    Mixing the pedal with two other pedals makes this video completely worthless to me. I came here to hear the pedal in the description not your performance.

      I know, I messed up. You seem really chill and reasonable, so please forgive me for enjoying myself in my own creative endeavors, when they should be all about you. You’re right, pedals are meant to be played one at a time. Moving forward, I’ll be sure to make these free and completely optional videos specifically tailored to your preferences, instead of my own. Please enjoy this video in the meantime.
