The OBNE Minim is three-effect ambient pedals in a single box. Reverb, delay, and reverse, each with their own character and each designed to work together.
The reverb has pseudo-harmonic tremolo built in, giving the trails a natural, organic movement.
The delay is lightly modulated. This creates a subtle chorusing on the repeats. The reverse section operates at normal or double speed, making its postion in the signal chain selectable.
The Minim is a collaboration with Datachoir and grew out of the same thinking that produced the Rêver. The two pedals share a conceptual lineage – OBNE describe them as long lost siblings. Put both on a board and they complement each other naturally.
The Three Sections
Reverb — A newly voiced reverb with pseudo-harmonic tremolo built into the trails. The tremolo gives the reverb a living, moving quality rather than a static wash. The reverb runs into the delay.
Delay — A modulated delay with a subtle chorusing effect on the repeats. Nearly infinite repeat times are available. The delay follows the reverb in the chain.
Reverse — A reverse section that can operate at normal or double speed – and you can put it either first or last in the signal chain. Reverse first gives a different character than reverse last. Both are useful and worth experimenting with.
Controls:
- Reverb: Sets mix of revrb to dry
- Modulation and Decay for the reverb
- Delay: Sets delay volume
- Time and Feedback for the delay
- Blend: for the reverse
- Order: toggle to set reverse location
- Speed: to set reverse speed (normal or double)

FAQs
Reverse first means your playing is reversed before hitting the reverb and delay. Reverse is when your playing goes through reverb and delay first, and then the whole combined signal is reversed.
Harmonic tremolo splits the signal into high and low bands and modulates them separately and out of phase. This gives a more complex, tone than standard amplitude tremolo.
Yes — the reverse section has its own footswitch and can be bypassed, leaving just the reverb and delay running.
OBNE created Minim in collaboration with Datachoir, building on the thinking behind the Rêver. They describe the two pedals as long lost siblings — they share a conceptual lineage and complement each other on a board.
