Eventide Blackhole Reverb Pedal

Limitless and boundless, the Eventide Blackhole reverb pedal features two types of infinite reverb. “Infinite mode” continuously layers new sound on top of a suspended reverb while “Freeze mode” holds the effect in stasis, allowing you to play over the reverb tail. The Freeze Footswitch allows instant access to this feature. Unlike other reverbs which may offer pre or post modulation, Blackhole features modulation built into the very reverb structure itself: this modulation can be used to smooth out the rough edges of the most extreme settings and offers unique tone-shaping ability. Like all Eventide pedals, Blackhole allows you to fine tune every aspect of the effect.

In its earliest incarnation – first in the DSP4000 and later in the H8000 flagship processors – this famous Eventide effect was regarded, by some, as a secret weapon. Now it has been finally possible to imprison the unbelievable power of the Blackhole into a sturdy metal housing. It includes onboard tone controls, modulation, and infinite reverb settings with mono or stereo operation, MIDI control, preset storing, and most importantly a new compact, easy-to-use interface.
