Old Blood Noise Endeavors continues its streak of uniquely expressive effects with the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Bathing Liminal Delay pedal – a liminal delay that lives somewhere between reverb, phaser, and classic delay, yet belongs fully to none. Instead, it carves out its own sonic identity: shifting, pulsing, and modulating in ways that feel fluid, immersive, and entirely OBNE.
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Bathing Liminal Delay is more than just a delay pedal — it’s a full-blown time-warping, modulation-shaping tool that invites you to experiment fearlessly. You set the delay time, select how many allpass filter stages the signal travels through (from 2 to 12), and then shape the behavior of those stages with modulation controls for rate, depth, and LFO shape. Want to sweep it with an envelope? Go ahead. Want it to shimmer or vibrate across the stereo field? That’s built in, too.
And because it’s OBNE, Bathing is ready for anything your rig demands. It features stereo I/O with analog dry through, presets, expression control over every knob, and full MIDI control, including MIDI clock sync in/out—making it a dream for both knob-twisting pedalboard explorers and precise DAW-driven setups.
You also get the flexibility of trails or true bypass switching, an infinite feedback mode via the soft-touch Tap/Aux footswitch, and a Dimension control that adds either subtle stereo chorus or mono vibrato to the wet signal – perfect for adding lush movement or hypnotic detuning.
