Description

Edit description

The Dreadbox Komorebi Analog Chorus Flanger Pedal is a sonic playground for musicians eager to explore both classic and experimental soundscapes. Inspired by the Japanese word "Komorebi," which poetically captures sunlight filtering through trees, this pedal brings a similar ethereal quality to your music. Whether you're crafting dreamy guitar melodies, intricate bass lines, or textured synth patterns, the fully analog bucket-brigade device (BBD) circuit ensures warm, authentic modulation effects that transcend traditional boundaries.

Boasting three distinct LFO waveforms (ramp, triangle, saw), the Komorebi offers a versatile range from subtle chorusing to intense flange sweeps. The pedal's front panel hosts a trio of CV patch points, making it a perfect companion for modular synth setups. With the ability to adjust signal delay from 2 to 40 milliseconds, this pedal is capable of producing everything from shimmering chorus to resonant comb filters. Its buffered CMOS bypass guarantees pristine signal integrity when disengaged, and the intuitive controls allow for effortless manipulation of its expansive tonal palette.

Suited for both pedalboard and Eurorack integration, the Dreadbox Komorebi is not just another stompbox—it's an invitation to venture into uncharted auditory realms.

Critic Reviews

Dreadbox effects pedals review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Dreadbox's Komorebi pedal offers an impressive blend of chorus and flanger effects, boasting extensive modulation capabilities that cater to both experimental artists and traditionalists. Its hands-on control layout invites creativity, and the additional CV inputs enhance its integration with modular setups. However, it does come with some noise issues, particularly in bypass mode, which may concern those looking for a completely silent operation. Overall, while it excels in versatility and sound design, potential buyers should weigh its quirks against their specific needs.

Nice analogue sounds.

Dreadbox might be more familiar as a manufacturer of standalone synths such as the acclaimed Erebus, and modular gear, but apparently this Greek company cut their teeth on guitar stompboxes originally, so, if his is true, this pedal sees them coming full circle, so to speak.

'Komorebi' is an Japanese word for which there is no direct translation in English, but apparently it means 'the dappled effect you get when sunlight streams through trees'(!). I don't know what that would sound like, but this is a BBD analogue chorus/flanger pedal which works with guitar, bass and synths. There are three LFO waveshapes (triangle, saw up and saw down), and four knobs - 'amount', 'static', 'feedback' and 'rate'. 'Rate' is the LFO rate, 'Static' is actually the delay time, Feedback is self-explanatory, and 'Amount' is a graduated pot rather than a binary thing. Turned more counter-clockwise, it gives you more of a chorus effect until it reaches the halfway point, and then more extreme things - based on LFO depth - start to happen from thereon in. It turns from a chorus into a flanger in a graduated way. It's typically analogue, in that each control operates over a very wide range, so turning the rate knob (or any knob) by a minuscule amount will have a huge effect on the sound: so it's a tweaker's dream, as a very wide range of sounds are possible - from simple doubling and thickening to insane, almost ring-modulated, completely atonal white noise, with 80s CE-2, rotary speaker and classic jet flanger tones sat somewhere in the middle. So far, I've only tried it with guitar, but it can be hooked up to modular gear too.

It's quite expensive! But then again, it's actually about the same price new as the BOSS CE-2 Waza Craft, so not massively so, and it's capable of a far greater range of sounds, too. It does indeed sound analogue, with none of the brittleness sometimes associated with cheaper digital choruses. Of course, this means it can get quite noisy, but arguably that's just par for the course with BBD modulation. Overall, a good-sounding analogue modulation pedal - rich, deep and rewarding. It comes with its own adaptor - 15V, so don't lose that!
