Description

Edit description

The Dream Reaper is a Fuzzy Feedback Modulation Machine loaded with weird features guaranteed to turn your tone into something unexpected.

The Force switch engages a built in "pick up emulator" controlled by the Sense knob, which emulates the the tone knob(s) on your guitar. We found that by putting this pedal in the middle of your chain, the tone knob didn't seem to adjust the feedback frequency when in Dream mode. This built in circuit takes care of that. Rub on that tone knob and squeal this pupper all the way downtown.

The Reap knob controls the strength of your input as it tussles with the oscillations for dominance when in Dream mode.

The Range switch is a low end capacitor selector that doubles as a frequency range selector when in Dream mode.

The Bias knob controls the non linearity of the effect regardless of which mode.

Expression pedal controls the Filter Knob which is something along the lines of a broader big muff filter. We recommend using a Moog Expression Pedal or another with 100k potentiometer value.

Adventure Audio Dream Reaper review on pedal-of-the-day.com

pedal-of-the-day.com

Adventure Audio's Dream Reaper is a fuzz modulation marvel that excels in unleashing sonic creativity. With its myriad of knobs and switches, it invites experimentation, rewarding those who dare to explore its depths with rich, textured soundscapes. While its complexity may intimidate at first, mastering the controls opens up a world of fuzz-laden possibilities, especially when harnessed with an expression pedal for real-time modulation. However, its experimental nature might not suit traditional blues or pop players, but for those seeking innovative and exploratory sounds, it's a dream come true.
