dreamgazer. the pedal partners signature shoegaze reverb.

dreamgazer encompasses vintage charisma reminiscent of the rack units that shaped the sound of the early shoegaze scene. finally, the essence of 90s shoegaze captured in a pedal.

(slow)dive into the dreamlike depths of nostalgic ambience with dreamgazer’s three unique reverbs, specifically designed for shoegaze, by shoegazers. 

dreamgazer is the only effects pedal used on shoegaze band violet oscillation's 'silk.'

modes

blossom

maybe, just maybe our favourite. 

a unique reverse reverb algorithm designed to submerge your signal. a rising envelope blossoms into an ethereal encompassing reverb. unlike vintage rack units, our algorithms are adjustable, with the sample rate knob controlling the time & fidelity of the effect. the pinnacle effect for shoegazing & dream pop music.

reverse

a nostalgic shoegaze reverse reverb effect.

a guitar effect long associated with shoegaze guitar tone, this is our perfect reverse reverb - rich, with adjustable timing. 

shallower 

designed specifically for use before fuzz & distortion. a lo-fi ambience reverb achieved by running the signal through parallel all-pass filters.

features & controls

soft nostalgia

for ethereal bliss, blend dreamgazer’s reverbs with our built-in sweetener:  ‘soft nostalgia’

made for dreamlike tone, soft nostalgia is a multi-voiced chorus, that when blended with dreamgazer’s reverbs, creates an ethereal effect utilised by shoegazers since day one. in a world first, this modulation is available for use with not only dreamgazer's forward reverb, but its two reverse reverb modes.

sample rate

a unique feature of maneco labs’ pedals. adjusting the sample rate knob as sound is playing creates swirls. blissfully spirally. a rare glitch effect similar to the vintage gems of our shoegaze secrets series. sample rate controls the frequency operation for the whole pedal. lower sample rates allow for more lofi & nostalgic sounds, touching on the early ages of digital technology. lowering this control also slows down the whole effect for dreamy meditations.

blend

full wet reverse reverbs.

each mode in dreamgazer can be blended to be 100% wet {effected-signal only} which is a requirement of the genre {says we}.

12 bit

did we mention that dreamgazer is 12 bit? authentically lofi. the gems of our shoegaze secrets series tend to be somewhere between 8-16 bit. so, this is the sweet spot. an essential part in creating a completely unique effect pedal that in essence captures sonic memories.

shoegaze engineering

to avoid the shortcomings often associated with modern dsp pedals & canned solutions {thin & sterile sounds} dreamgazer is precisely engineered at each stage. signal-wise there’s an analog path with pre-emphasis, low pass filtering, compression, before any digital processing. this precise engineering is what is lacking from modern pedals & is a key part of the authentic sounds dreamgazer creates. by avoiding the use of modern dsp & canned solutions, features like analog modulation & variation of the global sampling rate are achieved.

first ever front-of-chain reverb

dreamgazer is the first reverb pedal designed to be at the front of your chain. this is great for creating shoegaze music & vast walls of noise. that’s not to say dreamgazer won’t work elsewhere in your chain {middle, end, wherever} we just enhanced the pedal for front-of-chain use as that’s how we use reverb the most.

design

each dreamgazer is authentically engineered by maneco labs to pedal partners' specification. maneco is our talented friend in uruguay. a sonic engineer with over twenty years experience, maneco is a genius when it comes to creating vintage inspired effects, with extensive knowledge.

artwork & layout designed by pedal partners. featuring our dreamy aesthetic we are known for, each dreamgazer has been lovingly realised by our small team of shoegazers. 

that’s dreamgazer. full of blissfully ethereal reverb sounds we wanted on our very own shoegaze pedalboards for our shoegaze bands violet oscillation & abstract in sound. the reverb we always looked for, but could never find. the perfect answer to the question we get the most: how to sound shoegaze?

dreamgazer reverb pedal is on pedalboards around the world & users have reported the dreamgazer pedal is one of the best guitar pedals they’ve tried, noting ease of use & exceptional build quality.
