KHDK released the Digital Bath, a filter and delay pedal designed with Deftones frontman Chino Moreno, on July 14, 2025. Guitar Pedal X reported it available from the KHDK Webstore for $249¹. KHDK's own product page for an ultra-limited run in multiple colors lists a cost of $259.99².

The pedal is named after the song "Digital Bath" from the Deftones album White Pony¹³. MusicRadar described it as an analog delay with filter modulation³. KHDK calls it "a filter-delay modulation pedal designed to dissolve your guitar signal into waves of dreamy textures and hypnotic echoes"².

Guitar Pedal X listed those controls and noted there is no manual and little detail on the circuit, including whether the depth switch is two- or three-way¹. MusicRadar reported four knobs, two plus a Depth switch for the filter and two for the delay, with maximum delay time at 400ms³. It also reported internal slide switches that remove the dry signal, which KHDK says is "perfect for parallel FX loops or experimental routing," and an internal trimmer for delay feedback³. KHDK lists true bypass and internal tweaks to kill the dry signal or control repeats².

MusicRadar reported the first 150 units shipped with a certificate of authenticity signed by Moreno and had sold out³. Guitar Pedal X reported no listings at UK dealers or on Reverb.com at the time, suggesting the KHDK Webstore was the only option, with international dealers possibly imminent¹. KHDK says the pedal is made in the EU and that North American orders may have import fees collected by customs or the carrier².

KHDK says Moreno tested the pedal live at the band's Coachella set and has used it on tour². MusicRadar quoted KHDK's David Koren on the development:

Guitar Pedal X described the effect as "a gorgeous burbly/bubbly filter, augmented by up to 400 ms of delay"¹.
