Dark Paw - Old Blood Noise Endeavors / B's Music Shop

B’s Music Shop Exclusive: Dark Paw Stereo Soundscape Reverb by Old Blood Noise Endeavors 

We’ve taken one of the most mesmerizing reverb pedals ever made — the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star — and given it a full cosmic kitty makeover. Introducing the Dark Paw: a B’s Music Shop-exclusive reimagining of OBNE’s stereo lo-fi reverb beast, now featuring our own original space-cat artwork that we’ve been brewing up for a long time. It’s dreamy, it’s adorable, it’s powerful — and it’s only available here.

What It Sounds Like

The Dark Paw transforms your signal into a lush, ambient wash with haunting trails, shimmering pitch shifts, and glitchy crushed textures. It’s not just a reverb — it’s a textural synth layer for your guitar, synth, or anything else. Whether you’re scoring sci-fi daydreams or building walls of ethereal doom, this pedal is your ticket to the stars. With stereo I/O, full MIDI/Expression support, and endless tweakability, this is a sound designer’s playground in a tiny, sparkly purple box.

Imagine slow-moving fog that sings in alien harmony, or synth-like tails that dissolve into vintage tape glitch. Think Jónsi, Slowdive, or the ambient wanderings of Tycho — that’s the zone the Dark Paw lives in.

Who’s It For?

Artists who bend space and time. Shoegazers, soundscape architects, synth weirdos, or anyone who thinks a reverb should do more than just sound like a room. It’s not just about shimmer — this thing can warp, crumble, bloom, and break apart.

What Makes This Version Special?

Exclusive to B’s Music Shop, the Dark Paw swaps the original art for an intergalactic floofy friend lovingly illustrated in full upside-down cat glory. The knobs are dreamy lavender, the chassis is galactic purple sparkle, and every single one is a perfectly weird work of functional art.
