Old Blood Noise Endeavors has expanded its BL Series with the BL-52 Phase Repeater and a Custom Color range that offers all four pedals in the series in a variety of finish options, MusicRadar reported on November 28, 2023¹. The BL Series now comprises the BL-52, the BL-44 Reverse, BL-37 Reverb and BL-82 Chorus¹.

The BL-52 is a phase repeater pedal within the BL line². The maker describes phase repetition as a unique effect to OBNE, one that "lives between phaser and reverb, sounding almost like a room constantly changing in size and materials, with a clear repeat one moment and a diffuse repeat the next"². The Clock slider allows the sound to move quickly and with fidelity, or slowly and darkly, undulating underneath the player².

Controls are listed as follows²:

The pedal requires a 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 110mA, not included². The art is by Brandy M Patterson². The maker's product page listed the BL-52 at $179.00 and marked it "Sold Out"². MusicRadar reported that all of these pedals are priced $179 and are available now¹.

For the Custom Color range, MusicRadar listed color options including Salmon, Blue, Purple, Pink and Black, with knobs in Black, Cream, Purple, Mustard Yellow, Mint Green and Gray¹. The maker's BL Series page lists a "Retirement Black" finish alongside a "Standard" option for the BL-37, BL-44, BL-52 and BL-82³. The BL-13 Octave, also listed on that page at $179.00, is marked discontinued³.
