First thing I have to say is how dinky this format is - which is shared by the new Dark Star and Pardner Fuzz pedals - it’s around he same size as a square Strymon type which is really cool - as these pedals are relatively easy to accommodate within the Tetris environment of your pedalboard.
So as before this is much more than just a stereo-fying exercise as it massively evolves the original compact pedal format with a load more features. And similar to the Dark Star being a distinctly textured Reverb - then this is also a very uniquely Characterful / Textured Delay.
OBNE did a fantastic job with its Dark Star Stereo unit - and this seems to be a similarly fabulous evolution - and cool matching pair to that Dark Star!

The new Black Fountain Stereo is available now for $299 and equivalent from the OBNE Webstore - where it comes in 3 colourways - Cream which is Standard, and then Slate (my favourite), and Terracotta. If it’s anyway close to the Dark Star Stereo - then this will be a must buy for many. Also at leading International Dealers.
There are some really clever controls in the mix here - which give you all manner of interesting new and more granular capabilities for this unique Stereo Oil Can Delay.
