Old Blood Noise Endeavours announces Bathing Liminal Delay pedal

July 29, 2025 · 3 sources

Old Blood Noise Endeavours announced the Bathing Liminal Delay on July 29, 2025, a stereo pedal that expands the "phase repetition" of its Dweller Phase Repeater into a unit combining delay, reverb, phase/flange modulation and chorus1. It is the third pedal in the company's Square series, after the Dark Star Stereo Reverb and the Black Foundation Stereo Delay1.

The pedal runs the delay through 2 to 12 all-pass filter stages, with controls for delay time across six divisions, stages, feedback, filter, rate, modulation depth, shape, dry level, wet level and a Dimension control for chorus1. The shape control offers ramp down, ramp up, pulse, triangle, sine, square, random levels and random slopes1. Guitar.com reports that fewer stages create tight, flanged tones while longer times and more stages generate cascading repeats before and after the central delay, and that the LFO is offset across the left and right channels in stereo modes2. Gearnews describes the Dimension control as adding a stereo chorus or mono vibrato to the wet signal3.

Connections are stereo input and output on TRS with mono or mono-in-stereo-out routing, MIDI In and Out, USB-C, expression and 9V DC at roughly 350 mA1. The pedal has onboard presets, MIDI clock sync, expression and MIDI control over all parameters, analog dry-through, and selectable buffered trails or true bypass1. It is handmade in Oklahoma in three colorways: Algae, Orchid and Ink1.

The US list price is $299132. Guitar Pedal X reported it available now on the OBNE webstore and imminently at international dealers1.

"Taking inspiration from OBNE's 'phase repetition' in their Dweller pedal, Bathing takes this difficult-to-describe effect and highlights all its magical features through a wide control set, low noise floor and an expansive stereo field."

Gearnews called the pedal "certainly on the pricier, more boutique side of pedals"3. See delay pedals for related coverage.
