Product Information

Full details

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors BL-52 Phase Repeater is designed for guitarists and electronic musicians seeking unique, ambient soundscapes by applying phaser modulation to time-based effects. Its key benefit lies in creating sonic textures distinct from traditional phasers, offering a fresh approach to delay and reverb. A potential caveat for some users might be its specialized sound, which may require experimentation to fully integrate into various musical contexts. This pedal merges phasing with delay and reverb, featuring a simple yet effective 'Clock' slider for timing control, enabling a broad spectrum of creative audio possibilities.

FAQs

Does the BL-52 Phase Repeater require a power supply?

Yes, the BL-52 requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity (2.1mm barrel connector). It does not operate on batteries.

Can I use the BL-52 with a bass guitar?

Yes, the BL-52 Phase Repeater is generally compatible with bass guitars. Its unique modulation of time effects can add interesting textures to bass lines, though it's recommended to test with your specific setup.

What does the 'Clock' slider do?

The 'Clock' slider controls the timing or rate of the phaser modulation applied to the delay and reverb effects. It allows you to dial in everything from subtle rhythmic pulses to sweeping, ethereal textures.

How is this pedal different from a standard phaser pedal?

Unlike standard phasers that modulate the direct signal, the BL-52 applies its phaser effect to the delayed and reverberated signals, creating a distinct, time-based modulation sound that is more akin to evolving echoes or washes.

Can I run two outputs from this pedal?

The BL-52 features a single mono `OUTPUT` jack. For stereo applications, you would typically split the signal before the pedal or use an external stereo splitter.

Is the bypass true bypass?

The BL-52 features soft-touch bypass switching, which is designed to be silent and reliable.

Troubleshooting

No sound when the pedal is engaged

Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and providing 9V DC with a center-negative polarity. Check that your instrument cable is securely plugged into the `INPUT` and `OUTPUT` jacks.

Excessive noise or hum

Verify that the power supply is isolated and not sharing a power source with noisy digital pedals. Try a different power supply. Ensure all audio cables are in good condition and properly seated.

Effect sounds weak or distorted

Check the input signal level from your instrument. The BL-52 is designed for line-level signals. Ensure the 'Clock' slider is not set to an extreme that might cause unwanted artifacts with your specific signal.

Bypass is not working

Ensure the power supply is connected, as the bypass circuit is often affected by power status. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates unique, otherworldly sonic textures
  • Offers a fresh take on time-based effects
  • Intuitive 'Clock' slider for precise timing control
  • Combines phasing, delay, and reverb in a single unit
  • High-quality construction and soft-touch bypass

Cons

  • Sound may be highly specialized, requiring experimentation
  • Limited deep editing options compared to digital multi-effects units
  • Requires a standard 9V DC power supply (not included)
  • Might not be suitable for users seeking purely traditional phaser sounds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar) to the `INPUT` jack.
  2. Connect the `OUTPUT` jack to your amplifier or the input of another effect pedal.
  3. Connect a standard 9V DC, center-negative power supply (2.1mm barrel connector) to the power jack. Note: The BL-52 does not run on batteries.

Compatibility:

  • The BL-52 Phase Repeater is compatible with most standard electric guitars, basses, and other line-level instruments.
  • It works well in both mono and stereo setups (using a single output to your amp/mixer).
  • It can be placed anywhere in your effects signal chain, though placing it after drives and before modulation can yield distinct results. Experimentation is key.

Care:

  • Keep the pedal away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure all connections are secure to prevent signal loss or noise.
  • Store the pedal in a safe place when not in use to protect it from physical damage.
