The Bathing Sound

The core sound of Bathing is determined by a central delay line, divided into many stages called “all-pass filters”. The Time control sets the central delay time.   Use the Stages control to set the number of all-pass stages that the delay runs through, from anything between two to twelve stages. At shorter time settings, this increases the intensity of the phase/flange effect.

At medium or longer time settings, more repeats are created both before and after the central delay time.

Adaptive Trails & Increased Resonance

Feedback sets the feedback of the delay, taking the output and feeding it back into the input. This can create longer trails and increased resonance. The Filter applies a combination of low pass and high pass filtering to the output of the delay, as well as the delay feedback loop, with the darkest sound to the left and the brightest sound to the right.

Creative LFO Settings

The LFO affects the character of the delay repeats. When Time is very short, it acts like a modulation effect (think phaser or flanger). When Time is set longer, it moves anywhere from a single repeat at the central delay time out to a scattering of many diffused repeats around that time. In Mono-in, Stereo-out or full Stereo modes, the LFO is offset on the left and right to create a variety of stereo effects.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Blood. Delay — Delay is an effect that records the guitar signal and plays it back after a short period of time, creating an echo or repeat. By adjusting the time, feedback, and level, delay can add subtle depth and space or produce rhythmic, expressive repeats that enhance lead lines, ambient textures, and overall atmosphere.. Noise — Noise is an effect category focused on controlling unwanted hum, hiss, and interference in a guitar signal. Noise gates and noise suppressors reduce background noise when you are not playing, helping keep high-gain and complex pedal setups tight, clean, and controlled without affecting the core tone.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
