The Dreadbox Komorebi is a 100% analog BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) pedal designed for guitarists, bassists, synthesists, and modular users seeking to add rich, analog movement and texture to their sound. Its key benefit lies in its vast sound design possibilities, ranging from subtle movement to expansive, space-age modulation. A potential caveat for standalone users is its deep integration with modular systems via patch points, which may require additional hardware for full exploitation.

The Dreadbox Komorebi requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negativepolarity. The current draw is typically around 100mA, but a supply rated for 200mA or higher is recommended.
Yes, the Komorebi is designed to work with a wide range of input signal levels, including those from active pickups and line-level synthesizers.
BBD stands for Bucket Brigade Device. It's an analog electronic delay line used to create effects like chorus, flanger, and delay. It's known for its characteristic warm and slightly 'dark' sound.
The Static jack allows you to control the delay time with an external CV source. The Rate jack lets you control the LFO speed with CV. The LFO Out jack outputs the current LFO signal, which can be used to modulate other parameters in your modular system.
Both use modulated delay. Chorus typically involves longer delay times and often uses a wider delay time modulation to create a thicker, shimmering effect. Flanger typically uses shorter delay times and higher feedback, often with a narrower modulation sweep, creating a more sweeping, 'jet plane' sound.
No, the Dreadbox Komorebi features a mono input and a mono output.
Ensure the pedal is powered on, check all audio cable connections, and verify the correct input and output jacks are used. Test with a different power supply if possible.
Adjust the Feedback, Static, and Rate controls. Experiment with the 3-way LFO selector to find the desired intensity and character. Ensure input levels are not clipping.
This can be inherent to BBD devices at extreme settings. Try reducing the Feedback or Static controls. Ensure all power and audio cables are of good quality and shielded.
Verify that the correct patch cables (3.5mm mono TS) are used and fully inserted into both the Komorebi and the target Eurorack module. Ensure the target module's CV input is active and receiving a signal.
Setup: The Komorebi can be powered using a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (not included). Connect your instrument or audio source to the input jack and your amplifier or output device to the output jack. For modular integration, use standard 3.5mm patch cables to connect the Static, Rate, and LFO Out jacks to appropriate CV inputs on your Eurorack modules.
Compatibility: This pedal is compatible with electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, synthesizers, and most modular Eurorack systems. It operates on a standard 9V DC power supply.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the pedal clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on.
