Death By Audio Space Bender Chorus Modulator

Death By Audio Space Bender

The Death By Audio Space Bender chorus and modulator pedal doubles and warps your signal. Create beautiful and organic sounds from a place somewhere beyond linear time.

Under the hood lies an array of dynamic modulated delay lines. These allow you to craft subtle vintage sci-fi sounds, bending sonic bedlam, and pulsing atmospheres.

Never again will you say this chorus pedal just isn’t intense enough!

These, in combination with the rocker switch settings, let you move through a wide range of effect types. Experience new ways of thinking and with modulated delay, chorus, and flanger.

Controls

Knobs:

• Speed:
  • The Speed control on the Death By Audio Space Bender is pivotal in shaping your overall sound. It influences three main parameters: the Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) speed, the Envelope (ENV) sensitivity, and the delay time.
  • Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) Speed
    • Shorter Times: When you set the Speed control to shorter times, you’ll hear effects like flange and chorus. The modulation is slower and more subdued, providing a lush, sweeping texture to your sound.
    • Longer Times: Extended Speed settings lead to more pronounced, wiggling, and modulated delay effects. The sound stretches, offering a richer and more dynamic modulation.
    • Envelope Sensitivity (ENV)
      • Quick Reactions: Adjusting the speed allows for sensitive and quick envelope responses, which alter the dynamics and intensity of the effect in real-time based on your playing.
      • Sustained Changes: At slower speeds, the envelope responses become more gradual and evolving, perfect for ambient and atmospheric soundscapes.
  • Delay Time
    • Flange and Chorus: Short delay times result in traditional flange and chorus sounds with smoother modulation.
    • Modulated Delay: Longer delay settings transform your sound into modulated delay effects, giving a wobbling and unpredictable texture.
• Depth:
  • The Depth control is a versatile feature that influences several aspects of your sound.
  • Envelope & LFO: Adjusting the Depth affects the Envelope or the Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO), modifying the dynamics or rhythmic modulation of your sound.
  • Delay Feedback: It also controls the feedback level of the delay, allowing you to create anything from quick, subtle echoes to expansive, oscillating soundscapes.
  • By tweaking the Depth knob, you can explore a broad spectrum of sonic effects, ranging from short, nuanced variations to extensive, evolving sound waves.

Switches:

• Delay Time Switch:
  • Selects between x1 (very short delay time) and x10 (longer delay time)
• Modulator Switch:
  • Selects the type of modulation that will then be affected by the above.
• Intensity Switch:
  • Selects between LO (less intense modulation) and HI (really intense for wild sounds, oscillations and feedback)
• Internal Gain Control:
  • The internal Gain control on the Space Bender adjusts the pedal’s output volume. This control allows you to regulate the output from a balanced level all the way up to an exceptionally high volume, depending on your needs.
  • To access this internal control, you’ll need to remove the pedal’s backplate. Once opened, you can fine-tune the output by rotating the Gain knob to reach the desired volume.

Main features:

• Chorus/Flanger/Modulated Delay effects pedal
• Stretches the signal into glassy bell resonances, massive reverse dive bombs, and seasick demon drones
• Provides flange and chorus sounds with slower modulation, while long times will give you modulated delay
• Simple but deep control interface with simple rocker switches
• True Bypass Switching
• Compact footprint and top-mounted jacks for easy pedalboard mounting
• Powered by regular 9 V DC PSU
• (centre -, 2.1 mm, ~65mA current draw)

Stretch and pull your sound waves to craft glassy bell resonances, massive reverse dive bombs, and seasick demon drones with a simple (but deep) interface.

The spectrum of living, breathing sound manipulations stowed within the Space Bender serves as an interstellar gateway for the next wave of musicians to create a universe of haunting and unexplored soundscapes.
