The Haunted Labs Shadow Winds is a delay pedal with three modes and a trick up its sleeve, as Delicious Audio put it when the pedal appeared at NAMM 20231. It comes from the same maker behind the fuzz/delay collaboration Haunted Labs & Dirty Haggard Hell Horse, and it sits in the wider field of delay pedals.
What it does
The Shadow Winds is a delay pedal with three modes. What sets it apart is the Invoke knob: it adds extra "haunted" effects like pitch shifting after the 12 o'clock position, so turning it further past the middle of its travel layers those effects on top of the delay1.
The builder is not sharing the modes' names or functions yet, so at this stage there is no published list of controls, specifications, power requirements or price1.
The Shadow Winds was shown as a prototype at NAMM 2023, and the final version was expected later in May 20231. Details like the mode names, controls and pricing were still unannounced at the time of that report.
