Parting is such sweet sorrow – now more than ever – with the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Parting Glitch Device! This pedal, Parting, is an all-in-one multi-effect glitch device with concurrent onboard reverb, delay, and modulation effect engines. A definite labor of love from both the gang at Old Blood and electroacoustic harpist Emily Hopkins, Parting is made to foster welcomed surprises, boundless experimentation, and heartwarming peculiarities. Parting is a robust glitch effect engine to send yourself onto fresh sonic horizons.

Emily Hopkins, gear internet's favorite electroacoustic, effects pedal-slinging harpist, commonly calls on Old Blood Noise Endeavors effect pedals in her work when scoring for animation, indie video games, and theatrical feature films. Old Blood tips their hat to Hopkins with Parting, a deeply multifaceted glitch effect pedal with a couple different brain hemispheres so customizable for extensive textural musicmaking.

The central experience of Parting is centered around its two main effect engines: A modulator and a glitch effect. On the pedal's "left-side" brain, we're treated to the groovily bent tones of its powerful LFO modulator that can swap between a tremolo and a vibrato. Old Blood's classic LFO modulation wizardry is on full display with seven onboard waveform shapes running the gamut from more traditional sawtooths to fully randomized squares and sines. This modulator can be either a rhythmic tremolo or a twisty vibrato shaped into different subdivisions through the Rate control's secondary function.

For the pedal's "right-side" brain, Parting imbues us with great glitching powers with its glitch reverb and delay. Doubling up, Parting's glitch effect creates enormous squalls of broken-up feedback with the possibility for randomized ramps of sound, as determined by the Chance dial. These two brains are then funneled through the Dissolve dial which works either as a signal reverser when set after noon or a bit crusher when set before noon. Altogether, Parting makes for a vast, intricate wonderland of Hopkins's favorite textures and sounds with all the intuitive design and player-friendliness of Old Blood's classic effect pedals.

Parting features classic Old Blood control and playability with a built-up control scheme. An Aux footswitch allows for Parting to be controlled on a tap tempo basis, swapped to a half-speed internal effect clock, or shuffled through its internal preset bank. A TRS expression pedal can be connected via Parting's ¼" connection to access control over any combination of onboard dials at once. Parting can be routed in mono, stereo, and mono-in-stereo out via its TRS stereo input and output connections and operates on standard nine-volt DC center negative power supplies at 350mA, minimum.

Whether on your six strings or Hopkins's forty-seven, Parting is a masterful take on multi-effecting to drift away into serene, discordant, euphoric bliss.
