Collision Devices Unveils Three-In-One Black Hole Symmetry Pedal
New stompbox boasts modulation delay, space reverb and "destructive" fuzz.
Collision Devices has announced the Black Hole Symmetry, a three-in-one delay/reverb/fuzz pedal. Each effect in the Black Hole Symmetry is controlled by its own range of knobs and footswitches, and can be activated either separately or in conjunction with one another.
The Singularity footswitch on the left side of the pedal is the unit’s "destructive" fuzz, which is adjusted by a “Disintegrate” volume knob.
The center-placed Event Horizon footswitch is the pedal’s space reverb, with controls for mix, echo, “Radiancy” and pitch.
On the right is the Ergosphere modulation delay, with controls for mix, time, feedback and modulation.
According to Collision Devices, the pedal “was designed to represent the visual and sonic appearance of a black hole. The sound did not move in space, it was necessary to imagine what any human being would be able to feel when confronted with this giant mass.”
