Experimental Chorus and Flanger Effects — for Synth or Strings
If you’re tempted to compare the Dreadbox Komorebi to traditional flanger and chorus effects, guess again. This progressive modulator is designed to make your guitar, synth, or bass parts stick out in the best way! The Komorebi stompbox employs an analog bucket-brigade-based signal path to achieve its wild swings and wailing chorusing. Three LFO wave shapes accessible from the front panel make it easy to dial in everything from peaky filter effects to clangorous metallic drones. Cranking the Feedback knob quickly takes you into ring mod territory, and dialing back the Static knob from its full 40ms down to 2ms lets you rake in some pretty dramatic comb filtering. What’s especially cool is that the Dreadbox Komorebi is just as at home on your pedalboard as is it perched upon your Eurorack; a trio of CV patch points lets you integrate Komorebi seamlessly into your favorite modular synth rigs and more.

A nontraditional pedal you can't afford to miss
According to Dreadbox, "Komorebi" is a Japanese word without a direct English translation. In essence, it refers to the scattering of sunlight as it filters through the leaves from behind a grove of trees. And in this way, it’s the perfect name for the loosely defined experimental chorus and flanger effects you’ll find onboard this pedal. None of the Komorebi’s sounds are quite like anything you'll find on traditional stomp effects. Its fully analog BBD signal path gives you 2–40ms of repeats, which is just the right length for creating ethereal comb filtering effects and lowing waves of oscillation. Take it from effects enthusiasts at Sweetwater: for true BBD-style flanger and chorus pedal with a taste of the unusual, Komorebi is one pedal you can't afford to miss.
