Like a lot of you, we had been patiently waiting for our chance to get our hands on some pedals from Pladask Elektrisk, and folks, that day has finally arrived. Seemingly always sold out or wicked expensive on the secondary market, we were stoked that we snagged a couple of units during their last release. Today, we’re going to be looking at the Pladask Elektrisk Draume Artificial Reverberation pedal, a mixture of sonic brushstrokes and melded atmospheric layers that sucks you in, then spits you back into outer space. Hold on tight, you’re in for a wild ride…
The Draume is like no other pedal we’ve come across before, in all the best of ways. It’s a reverb, sort of, but a true ambient machine at its core. While the VOL and MIX knobs do what you’d expect, parameters like CLK, AM, FM and TXT instantly peak your interest, and once you start moving them around, you get lost in the ethereal bliss being effortlessly created. Hints of Tremolo and Vibrato are capable of being extracted here, along with looooong, sweeping echoes, big ebbs and flows and, above all, some truly gorgeous tones that will inspire both your playing and your writing.
The demo video below was a blast to make, and showcases the true experimental nature of pedals like this. The Pladask Elektrisk Draume Artifical Reverberation combines post-reverb processing with decay and system clock control to break the spatial illusion, and boy, does it ever. We’re looking forward to checking out more pedals from these guys in the near future, so stay tuned. For now, strap on some headphones, set aside about 12 minutes and delve into our demo, if you can handle it…
