Death By Audio Rooms Reverb

Death By Audio Rooms

Death By Audio Rooms is a stereo, multi-function digital reverb capable of searing volume, gated walls of sound, and long, trailing reverberant ambiances with an intuitive array of controls designed with live mood-bending in mind.

Rooms was designed to the highest standards of flexibility and audio fidelity.

A studio-quality mixer section provides independent DRY and FX controls over six meticulously programmed reverb algorithms: ROOM, DIGIT, PEAK, GATE, WAVE, and GONG.

Each different reverb is capable of a universe of sounds, and Rooms is here to help you explore them.

Rooms’ creative I/O switching and dual-mono dry signal lines allow for a wealth of possible mono and stereo configurations, making it easy to route signals for parallel processing or stereo amplifier setups.

How the output mixer improves the performance of the Death By Audio Rooms

The Rooms pedal features an advanced output mixer that significantly enhances its versatility and performance. Developed in collaboration with renowned Electronic Audio Experiments, this output mixer ensures top audio quality and precise control.

• Superior Signal Control: The mixer allows for meticulous adjustment of both wet and dry signals, ranging from complete silence (-inf) to a powerful 20x gain. This wide range helps you can fine-tune your tone with great accuracy, whether you’re looking to add a subtle echo or a commanding presence.
• Studio-Quality Sound: This mixer is designed to meet the high standards required in professional settings – it’s pristine. It not only fits seamlessly on your pedalboard but also performs exceptionally well in front-of-house scenarios and recording studios.
• Ample Gain: With extra gain to spare, the output mixer ensures that your sound remains robust and clear, even in demanding environments. This added gain flexibility means you won’t have to worry about losing signal strength or clarity no matter the application.

Simply, it enhances its performance by providing detailed control, maintaining high audio quality, and offering extra gain for stronger signal output.

Death By Audio Rooms Modes and Parameters

Rooms’ six reverb algorithms (Room, digit, Peak Wave and Gong) have been meticulously programmed in-house to deliver an endless universe of sounds. To aid in their exploration, the pedal features an Alt footswitch which engages a secondary set of controls. This allows the user to seamlessly shift between settings and also activates an external expression pedal (optional) for hands-free space-and-time travel of a cosmic auditory nature.

Control Modes

• ROOM: Tone of Decay: Pre-Delay. A classic reverb that simulates many different rooms.
• DIGIT: Delay Time: Delay Feedback. A filter matrix verb capable of creating otherworldly resonances and fractured repeats.
• PEAK: Filter Frequency: Filter Resonance. A super intense bandpass filter combined with an ambient reverb.
• GATE: Decay Tone: Gate Response Time. A gated reverb. Short reverb times create a classic gate effect, long reverb times create a controllable freeze effect.
• WAVE: Modulation Frequency: Modulation Depth. Creates a pitch vibrato effect. Lowering TIME will blend out the reverb signal, allowing sweeps from chorus/vibrato to long modulated reverbs.
• GONG: Modulator Frequency: Blends from Aliasing (left) to Ring Modulation (right). Ethereal, crushed reverb sounds guaranteed to make you star in the upcoming remake of DUNE and live out your sci-fi fantasies of space travel and galactic domination.

• FREQ: Controls the frequency parameter of the current mode.
• DEPTH: Controls the depth parameter of the current mode.
• TIME: Controls the reverb time in all modes.
• DRY: Controls the volume of the dry signal, from -inf to 20x gain.
• FX: Controls the volume of the reverb signal, from -inf to 20x gain.

ALT: Engages the ALT mode, switching between two sets of controls.

When active, FREQ is controlled with the F knob, DEPTH with the D knob, and TIME with the T knob. Additionally, the ALT mode turns on expression control of either FREQ or TIME using the F<->T Switch on the side of the pedal. NOTE: Expression control ONLY works in ALT mode and when an expression pedal is plugged in.

Expression Pedal:

Almost any expression pedal will work with Rooms. When not plugged in, the controls work as normal.

Note: Expression control only controls the F or T knobs when ALT mode is engaged and when an expression pedal is plugged in.
