Schu-Tone Luna Obscura

The Schu-Tone Luna Obscura is a multi-effects pedal that gathers four effects into a single, four-footswitch unit: a fuzz, a boost with EQ, a vibe and a delay. Delicious Audio describes it as a device that "consolidates a complete pedalboard into a single, 4-footswitch pedal inspired by David Gilmour's setup," and notes it is based on David Gilmour's rig from the Dark Side of the Moon era.¹

What it does

Each of the four sections has its own footswitch, so the player can kick effects in and out individually without a separate switching system. The four sections are¹:

• Fuzz, the drive foundation of the unit
• Boost with EQ, for pushing the amp and shaping tone
• Vibe, a photocell and bulb based Uni-Vibe circuit, the same light-dependent design approach as the classic original¹
• Delay, for echoes and space

The vibe section includes a Volume control of its own. As Delicious Audio puts it, "A Volume control for the Vibe makes sure that you will not experience any volume drop when you kick the vibe on," which addresses a common complaint with vibe pedals that load down the signal when engaged.¹

Who it suits

Delicious Audio frames the Luna Obscura as an all-in-one pedalboard for a simple grab and go solution, or for players who are fans of Dark Side of the Moon and want that era's effect combination in one box.¹ For players weighing a single unit against separate pedals, the Multi-effects Pedals page covers the category more broadly, and the individual effect types are covered on the Fuzz Pedals, Boost Pedals and Delay Pedals pages.
