Looking for an ambient and textures creation box? As huge fans of cinematic atmospheric soundtracks and ambiences Collision Devices wanted to develop a pedal made for soundscapes creation – the Collision Devices Nocturnal. It’s composed of a Shimmer Reverb, a Dynamic Tremolo and a Modulated Delay. Each effect can be used together or separately and has its own momentary or trails function. Pass from the Dusk, through the Night to the Dawn with the Nocturnal.
Completely hand-built in France – from the enclosure to the circuit. The Nocturnal has a lifetime warranty.
The DUSK modulated delay section is a warm and inspirational delay based on a tape delay circuit. Controls are:
- Mix : Controls the mix between Full Dry or 50% Dry / 50% Wet
- Time : Time between each repetition. From a few ms to 1 second. Signal quality turns to Lo-Fi when itβs pushed to long repeats.
- Feedback : Number of repetitions. Able to self oscillate very easily when the knob is around 7.5.
- Modulation : Amount of modulation in the delay repetitions. Create a sort of old tape effect
- Speed : Modulationβs frequency from 0.1 to 20 Hz.
- Momentary effect : Feedback self oscillation when footswitch is long pushed
The NIGHT Dynamic Tremolo section allows you to turn a huge amount of shimmer and reverb into it to make it oscillate faster. It features the controls:
- Sensibility: Sensibility, turn it clockwise to make the tremolo more sensitive to your attack
- Depth: Controls the tremoloβs volume
- Momentary effect: Tremolo overspeed when footswitch is long pushed
Use the DAWN Shimmer to create bright soundscapes and loose the notion of time until the sunrise. Its controls are:
- Blend: Controls the amount of Dry/Wet signal. You can have a full Wet reverb
- Reverb: Reverberation time. Max 15 sec.
- Shimmer: Makes the reverb shimmer
- Filter: Digital filter. Low pass. Lets you make the shimmer darker or more shiny
- Colour: Notch active and analog filter around 2.2 kHz. Controls the Q of the filter
- Trails: when footswitch is long pushed, the trails are activated and it allows you to play with the dry signal with the shimmer trails
