Lone Wolf Audio Xenomorph

The Lone Wolf Audio Xenomorph is a stompbox that combines modulated delay and reverb in one enclosure. Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio, announcing the pedal in May 2018, described it as a "Modified VHS Delay with added infinite reverb," a design that follows the maker's reputation for "some pretty radical stompboxes."¹

It sits in the delay family alongside the company's VHS delay pedal, and players comparing it with other options in the genre can see where it fits among delay pedals and reverb pedals.

What it does

The Xenomorph pairs a delay with reverb, and the modulation can be pushed well beyond subtle movement. De Gregorio highlighted a secondary mode for the LFO waveform of the modulation that, in his words, is "completely sending this thing to an outer space hellscape never be"¹, suggesting the modulation reaches extremes most modulated delays do not attempt.

The infinite reverb added to the modified VHS delay circuit gives the pedal a second dimension beyond the delay line itself, letting sounds hang and build rather than simply repeat and decay.¹

Power requirements

That restriction matters for pedalboard planning: a daisy chain or generic budget supply is ruled out, so the pedal needs its own isolated output from a quality power supply.¹
