Description

In collaboration with CHVRCHES, Old Blood Noise Endeavors unveils Screen Violence, an effects pedal inspired by the sounds of the acclaimed album of the same name. Featuring tube-inspired overdrive and a one-knob effect that expresses itself as modulation, delay, reverb, or a combination of all, Screen Violence blends inspiration from decades past and present to create a new stereo effect.

Screen Violence features:

Mono, stereo, and mono-to-stereo operation Saturation section with control over Violence, Gain, Voice, and Volume to access gritty boosts through heavy overdrive Modulated reverb section with control over wet-dry Mix and Screen, a magic knob controlling many parameters at once Order switching to run Screen into Violence or Violence into Screen Soft touch switching and relay bypass for each section Expression jack to externally control Screen Requires at least 100mA 9VDC center negative power Screen Violence is available directly from OBNE and wherever you find CHVRCHES playing live.

CHVRCHES are Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty. Since their 2013 debut The Bones of What You Believe, the Glaswegian band have seen global success, critical acclaim and are considered pioneers of modern synth-pop. Their latest record, last year’s Screen Violence, included the singles ‘He Said She Said’, ‘Good Girls’ and ‘How Not To Drown’, a collaboration with one of the band’s musical heroes and rock icon The Cure’s Robert Smith.

Critic Reviews

Old Blood Noise Endeavors Screen Violence review: This CHVRCHES signature pedal is a magnificent mashup of reverb and overdrive

guitar.com

Old Blood Noise Endeavors' Screen Violence pedal masterfully blends lush reverb and robust overdrive, capturing the essence of CHVRCHES with surprising depth. The tonal quality is stellar, with the reverb offering a spectrum from subtle shimmer to expansive soundscapes. The drive circuit impressively bridges light crunch and full roar, maintaining clarity across the spectrum. However, while the routing options provide creative flexibility, beginners might find the array of controls overwhelming. Despite this, the Screen Violence stands out as a unique, genre-defying tool that is likely to resonate with musicians looking to explore new auditory territories.
