Death By Audio Destroyer Series: Dream Station / Moonbeam Phaser / Thee Treble Overload

I loved the Infinity Verb Endless Soundscape from Death By Audio that was a limited release a couple weeks ago, so I was stoked when they contacted me about checking out a couple more pedals from the new Destroyer Series. Today, I’m excited to help welcome the Dream Station Stereo Reverb Delay, Moonbeam Stereo Multi-Stage Phaser and Thee Treble Overload Treble Booster into the world. These three effects look and sound as amazing as you might think, individually or all together, creating new auditory atmospheres that will send you right into outer space. Lots to delve into here, so let’s get right to it, shall we?

Compact, yet powerful and dangerously fun. The Destroyer Series pedals feature a small footprint, glowing vintage-style LED display, and minimal controls that unlock a world of sonic chaos. Each pedal offers its own over-the-top personality, and together they form a family of beautifully chaotic stereo tone machines. This marks only the beginning – more Destroyer pedals will follow in 2026 and beyond!

Let’s start things off with the Dream Station – an instant mood creator, blending DBA-style reverb and delay to plunge your signal into a vivid fantasy hallucination. Three filter settings let you radically shape the tone and character of the effects, opening up a myriad of soundscapes at your fingertips and exploding your sound into super-wide stereo. From shimmering, lush pads to wild slapback insanity, ping-pong comb filtering, and swirling atmospherics, the Dream Station delivers a full palette of sonic reflection for bending reality and dreams alike. In this compact package, you can create any combination of echo and reverb with the Dream Station’s easy-to-use interface and feel the power of a full-stereo ambience in our smallest reverb ever. With the three filter settings, you can explore different spaces from airy and bright, dark and moody, and full-range digital. And when you really want to go crazy, crank the ECHO F-BACK to blow your bandmates away.

Up next is the Moonbeam Phaser – a stereo, multi-stage phaser like no other, this unit lets you completely reshape your sound by choosing between one and six stages of phase shifting for any modulation occasion. With its expansive range of controls, you can instantly explore everything from classic swirling movements to ultra-gooey bends, resonant filtered tremolos, and textures yet to be discovered. Take a trip through the world of tones from beyond the exosphere. At its core, the Moonbeam Phaser houses two fully analog 6-stage phase shifter engines. You can tap into each stage individually and hear its unique movement as the display morphs through a spectrum of colors that mirror the sound. To unleash the full potential of this unique circuit, we supercharged the FREQ control far beyond the usual range. Drift slowly through 2-minute phase sweeps, dive into liquid swirls, or blast off into ring-modulated frequency shifts. Combined with the DEPTH control, the Moonbeam Phaser opens a vast spectrum of refracted phasing tones- from shimmering rotary-style warbles to deep, resonant bends. And if one phaser wasn’t enough, we’ve packed two phasers in one, letting you bring your guitar, bass, synth, or anything you can imagine into mesmerizing stereo with the click of a stomp.

Finally, we’re gonna look at Thee Treble Overload, which revives the coveted treble boost circuit from the infamous limited-edition pedal, Thee Fuzz War Overload – this time packed with extra features and unleashed as its own weapon. It slices through any mix with razor-sharp precision, adding just the right edge to make your signal sound mean, bright, and alive. To achieve that bite, Thee Treble Overload carves away bass, tightening your tone and bringing definition to whatever sound you feed it. Armed with over 60dB of gain and a LIMIT control, you can push it from a cutting boost to crispy obliteration while still keeping your output balanced with the rest of the band. Thee Treble Overload is dual mono, meaning it can process stereo chains, perfect for blasting your stereo reverbs, choruses, delays, keyboards, or drum machines straight into overdrive.

As usual with anything coming from Death By Audio, there’s nothing subtle or boring about any of these pedals, and that’s just the way we all like it. Put these Destroyer Series effects onto a board, grab two of your favorite amps and you’ve got one of the easiest, funnest, most unique and experimental setups around. Always pushing the sonic envelope, Death By Audio has done it again – be sure to head over to their website for even more info and ordering, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss our demo video, where we show off the Dream Station, Moonbeam Phaser and Thee Treble Overload, both as individual pedals AND how they sound when combined.
