Dreadbox RAINDROPS

Stereo Delay / Pitch Shifter / Reverb

The Dreadbox RAINDROPS is a Hybrid Delay/Pitch Shifter/Reverb pedal that takes the concept of short echoes to a different level. It is equipped with multiple delay stages and different chips and you can choose between 3 different play modes, where in each one you can have a whole new experience and alternative soundscapes. You can achieve from simple short echos, to long, dirty and lo-fi delays and from simple pitch shifting bursts to extensively lasting reverbs.

RAINDROPS offers Delay times from 50ms up to 1 sec with tap tempo, while above 700ms it starts to become lo-fi and some dirt is added to the repeats.
Its three distinct alrorithms make it useable as a standard delay, Modulated Delay, Shimmering Delay, Delay with Reverb on the repeats, simple lush Reverb, pitch shifted Delay or plain Noise Machine.

The true stereo in and outs and the preset memory for each algorithm make it a versatile companion for creating subtle ambience to vast soundscapes.
