Step into a world of sonic experimentation with the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Parting Purple. This innovative multi-effect pedal blends glitch delay, lush reverb, modulation, and signal crushing into a single compact unit, delivering constantly evolving tones full of movement and character. Created in collaboration with harpist Emily Hopkins, it’s built to inspire creativity through controlled unpredictability.
At the heart of the Parting Purple is its chance-based processing system, which introduces randomised delay and reverb elements that shift and evolve as you play. Controls like Chance, Glitch, and Smear allow you to shape everything from subtle ambient textures to fractured, lo-fi soundscapes, while modulation options such as tremolo and vibrato add depth and motion to your tone.
Built for both stage and studio use, the pedal features stereo operation, MIDI control, expression compatibility, and preset storage for maximum flexibility. Whether you’re crafting atmospheric layers or pushing your sound into experimental territory, the Parting Purple delivers a unique and inspiring playing experience.
