Old Blood Noise Endeavors has announced the Minim, a reverse reverb and delay pedal built from the foundation of the Rêver, the delay/reverb the company previously collaborated on with Datachoir¹. Guitar.com reported the Minim was available from November 22, 2019, via oldbloodnoise.com¹. Guitar World, publishing on November 26, 2019, listed the pedal at $229².

The Minim combines a newly voiced reverb section with harmonic tremolo, a modulated delay with nearly infinite repeats available, and a reverse section selectable between normal speed or double speed³¹. Guitar World reported that Old Blood Noise describes the pedal as an "Immediate Ambient Machine"², and that the company suggests thinking of it in two blocks: one that reverses the guitar's signal, and one that houses the modulated reverb and modulated delay, each with its own footswitch².

The feature list, as published by Delicious Audio and Guitar.com³¹:

The reverse section's footswitch can operate in momentary or latching mode, and order switching places the reverse first in the chain for ambient wash or last for glitchy textures³¹. There is an expression jack for external control of the reverse mix and an internal trimpot to control output level³¹. The pedal uses relay bypass switching and standard 9VDC center negative power³¹. Guitar World reported it draws around 159mA of current².

Delicious Audio noted that the Rêver, a delay/reverb born out of a collaboration between Old Blood Noise and Datachoir, was one of the most attention-grabbing devices at its 2019 Brooklyn Stompbox Exhibit³.
