features & controls
a unique, truly multi-function delay
layered, textural effects are the essence of shoegaze sound - so blush has the ability to layer it’s ethereal effects & textural functions simultaneously. swirl pitch shifted delays with soft nostalgia modulation, vintage digital oscillations & stereo panning all at the same time! oh & why don’t you hold all of that while you’re at it?!
original engineering & authentic vintage sound
as with all our pedals, blush is built from the ground up. this isn’t a modern dsp emulation, but authentic vintage engineering with original design including 12 bit circuitry, vintage filters, emphasis & deemphasis. built by master engineer maneco labs, utilising 30+ years of engineering experience. this makes blush perfect for creating our signature shoegaze delays with analog saturation & lofi textures. blush is all analog except for memory, a/d & d/a conversion.
stereo panning delays
stereo sound is a recognisable part of how pedal partners makes shoegaze music. when dreaming up blush, stereo panning was the first feature we wanted to add. it creates encompassing layers of immersion, especially when combined with blush’s other textural effects.
soft nostalgia modulation
soft nostalgia is our ethereal multi-voiced shoegaze modulation effect. it can be blended with blush’s delays to create dreamy custom modulated delays to taste. choose between 0%, 50% & 100% soft nostalgia to add euphoric chorus tone.
polyphonic pitch shift
unlike with some of our favourite vintage pitch shifter / delay pedals, blush can blend in shoegaze shimmers & low octave effects with your delays using the shimmer blend knob. as shoegazers who value pitch shifting that is actually useable, we made the pitch in blush polyphonic. it will work with whatever you throw at it, single notes, chords, anything else?! to shift between pitches, glide the shimmer slider from -1 octave through to +1 octave.
cascades / oscillation
a digital delay that oscillates? with our vintage digital technology, we can create unique sounds that simply aren’t available anywhere else. a core part of the process when designing this pedal was perfecting luca’s favourite vintage digital delay oscillations. when shimmer / pitch shift is blended in, you can create incremental pitch effects for a truly mesmerising sound.
drift
the drift slider controls the delay time & sample rate for the entire pedal. drift sets the mood. lowering the drift slider slows the speed of your delay & also dials in a more lofi, nostalgic sound as you lower the sample rate. gliding the drift slider upwards speeds up your delay time & raises the sample rate.
tap & hold
select between tap tempo (red led) & hold (blue led) functions. you can even use these functions simultaneously, at which point the led will turn pink! hold instantly freezes the notes you play, so you can take a moment to reminisce. an effect for musing.
delay times
blush has up to 3 seconds of delay time in mono & stereo. customise your delay time with the sample rate & tap tempo controls. you can even create mini loops up to 6 seconds long if you only use the right output.
signal led
similar to vintage studio delays, the signal led helps you maintain a healthy signal level, when the led lights up you are clipping - whoops!
power
blush is 9v & uses 150 mA.
