The Bathing liminal delay effects pedal from Old Blood Noise Endeavors is a new entry into the world of time-based effects, blending characteristics of delay, phase, and reverb into a single unit. Unlike traditional delay pedals, this model manipulates the delay line using many small filter stages and a creative modulation engine. The end result is a shifting, sometimes unpredictable space that moves between echo, swirling motion and reverb-like diffusion. Players can use Bathing for deep washes behind a solo or add subtle motion to chords. Onboard stereo inputs and outputs, along with MIDI and expression control, support complex setups at home or on stage. With three color choices—Algae, Orchid and Ink—this pedal brings a unique visual and sonic identity to any pedalboard.

Delay Line With All-Pass Filters Shapes Unique Echo Textures

The effect's main sound comes from a delay signal split into multiple stages using all-pass filters. Changing the number of stages affects how the repeats scatter or blend, from two to twelve steps. Short delay times push the unit into phaser or flanger territory, while longer times create cloud-like echoes that never repeat exactly the same way. This engine produces dynamic, moving textures, making the pedal a strong tool for creating evolving backgrounds or experimental soundscapes.

Advanced LFO Section Adds Modulation Depth

The LFO controls—rate, depth and shape—change the way the repeats move and shift. At low time settings, the LFO acts as a phase or flange, while longer times scatter echoes across the stereo field. The stereo output places the LFO at different points for each channel, creating a spread-out, immersive field. With the rate knob turned up, the LFO reaches into ring modulation, adding new harmonic content. This flexible modulation system lets players dial in subtle movement or wild, unpredictable shifts for dramatic effect changes.

Flexible Controls, Preset Storage and MIDI Expand User Options

Bathing uses a tap/aux footswitch for on-the-fly tempo, runaway feedback or cycling through presets. The expression jack and MIDI in/out cover every parameter for hands-free performance or DAW automation. Built-in and MIDI-accessible presets allow fast recall of favorite settings. The pedal supports mono, stereo, or mono-in-stereo-out routing, so users can fit it into any signal chain. Analog dry-through keeps the unaffected tone pure, while the option for true bypass or trails switching tailors the pedal's response when disengaged.

Robust Construction and Soft Touch Switching Boost Longevity

Every unit features a rugged housing and soft touch switches rated for long-term use. The pedal offers a low-noise floor and analog dry path, ensuring clean operation with minimal signal loss. Three colorways give players options to match their style, and all jacks and controls feel solid under regular gigging conditions. This build supports daily practice, recording, or stage abuse without early wear or failure.

Bathing Pedal Delivers Creative Depth for Explorers

Players drawn to evolving textures, unpredictable echoes, or deep modulation will find new ground using Bathing. The combination of stage-based delay, flexible LFO control and robust routing options encourages experimenting with sound. For those seeking to add movement and dimension to their pedalboard, this unit gives real control over space and time in every performance.
