Just think what you could do with the Size control. An expression pedal can also be welcomed to the party – just assign it a parameter and it can warp your sound live. Press down and hold the Freeze switch and you enter preset mode, where you can scroll through the five then hit the Active switch (bypass, on the left) to choose which one you need. You can also access presets via the footswitches. The Freeze effect can be a little bit sobering to hear the contrast of your dry signal and some intergalactic ambience but there is no doubt that some occasions and ambience settings will make this a very fun feature. Indeed, if reverb is all about adding a sense of space to your tone, the Blackhole is about changing how you think about that space and, indeed, how it can be represented sonically. Have you already have your conventional hall/plate/spring reverb sorted? If so, that's great news. Where you take your sound is really limited by your imagination and what you need musically. Used sparingly, and it'll give your reverb a gentle chorus effect, while at more extreme settings you can send it through the floor with a supernova of detuning.
Rate and Depth controls are on-hand for dialling in some modulation. You can take treble beyond brightness into something more artificial and metallic. It affords you excellent control over the light and shade in the reverb. There's a Feedback knob for adding repeats to your reverb trails, with infinite repeats an option, whereupon your reverb is held in suspended animation while more and more sounds build on top of it.Įlsewhere, there are a pair of Lo and Hi filters which behave as you might expect, trimming some low-end mud off the bottom or boosting/cutting high-end sparkle.
You can also dial in up to two seconds of pre-delay. The nocturnal sibling to the BigSky, this takes the multi-verb format into similarly astral realms as the Blackhole, offering a smorgasbord of interstellar tones. This kind of quality doesn't come cheap, but reverbs don't get much better than this – a superlative stompbox in every way. For a one-stop reverb that'll take you from the sublime to the ridiculous, to infinity and beyond, this is unbeatable. This contains the Blackhole and a lot more besides.
