The Death By Audio Dream Station delivers rich stereo reverb and delay in a compact, pedalboard-friendly design. Built for musicians who crave depth and space, it excels at everything from gentle room ambience to massive, swirling soundscapes. Whether you’re crafting ambient washes, post-rock layers, or experimental textures, the Dream Station responds with musical clarity and inspiring character.
Featuring straightforward yet powerful controls, the Dream Station lets you dial in the perfect balance of reverb and delay. Mix, Reverb Time, Echo Time, and Echo Feedback knobs provide precise control over decay, repeats, and stereo movement. A three-position mode switch shapes the overall tone, offering Bright for airy and tape-like textures, Full for clean and natural response, and Dark for warm, analog-inspired ambience.
Designed as part of Death By Audio’s rugged Destroyer Series, the Dream Station is built to handle the demands of touring and studio use alike. True stereo operation delivers wide ping-pong delay and expansive reverb trails, while the durable metal enclosure and glowing LED add visual flair. For players seeking a creative and expressive ambient pedal, the Dream Station is a powerful centerpiece for any effects rig.

Controls
- Mode switch: Selects between Bright, Full, and Dark filter settings for the delay and reverb.
- Bright: Low frequencies are filtered out for a splashy, airy “tape” sound.
- Full: No filtering, a complete, uncolored tone for a clean “digital” sound.
- Dark: High frequencies are filtered out, creating a warm, analog-style sound.
- Mix: Balances between 100% dry and 100% wet signals. When Trails is activated (internal control) and the pedal is bypassed, Mis still sets the volume of the wet signal.
- Reverb Time: Adjusts the overall reverb length. Turn it down for subtle ambience or pure delay, turn it up for lush, immersive reverb.
- Echo Time: Sets the delay time from 2ms to 500ms. In stereo mode, the delay will ping-pong between outputs at half the set time.
- Echo F-Back: Controls the feedback of the delay. Pushing past ~3 o’clock may trigger oscillation.
- Input Configuration switch (internal): Switch between mono TS and stereo TRS.
- Mono Input : Standard mono or mono-to-stereo operation. Lights up “M” on the faceplate when active.
- Stereo Input : Full stereo operation. Lights up “S” on the faceplate.
- Trails Configuration switch (internal): Decide whether delay and reverb trails continue when bypassed.
- Trails : Effect trails continue when bypassed.
- No Trails : Effects are muted when bypassed.
