Reverse Delay, Reimagined The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Setback is a dedicated reverse delay that transforms your playing in real time, turning familiar phrases into evolving, unpredictable textures. Rather than treating reverse as a secondary effect, the Setback places it at the center of the experience, opening the door to everything from subtle reversed ambience to fully experimental sound design. New Approach to Reverse At its core, the Setback captures your signal and plays it back in reverse, with deep control over timing, pitch, and fidelity. The Speed control adjusts playback rate and pitch across multiple intervals, while the Clock control shapes the sample rate, allowing you to move from clean, high-fidelity repeats to degraded, lo-fi textures. This interaction between pitch, delay time, and signal quality gives the Setback a uniquely expressive feel, responding dynamically to both your playing and your settings. From Subtle Motion to Sonic Chaos With tap tempo, selectable subdivisions, and flexible timing controls, the Setback can lock tightly to your playing or drift into more abstract territory. Holding the auxiliary footswitch introduces runaway feedback, feeding the reversed signal back into itself for evolving layers of pitch-shifted, decaying sound. From classic reverse delay and shimmering harmonized echoes to broken, glitchy textures and long-form ambient loops, the Setback covers a wide creative range while maintaining a strong musical core. Built for Modern Rigs The Setback is designed with modern pedalboards in mind, offering stereo inputs and outputs, onboard presets, MIDI control, and expression compatibility. Its analog dry-through path preserves your original signal, while selectable bypass modes allow for trails or true bypass operation. Compact, powerful, and deeply expressive, the Setback stands as one of Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ most focused and feature-rich reverse designs to date.
