Setback is a reverse delay pedal. In the past, OBNE made what they like to call textural reverse pedals, a lineage that goes from Rever to Minim to BL-44 and a little bit into Parting. Something that can be textural and off on its own timing or totally tempo synced; gritty and characterful or clean and tidy; intuitive and controlled and yet fun and surprising. And OBNE wanted to do all of that in the smallest form factor possible.

Setback has:

• Stereo in and out with analog dry through
• Buffered trails or true bypass switching
• Presets
• Expression control over every knob
• MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including MIDI clock in for external syncing

Controls

Mix to set the blend of wet and dry signals

Speed to change the playback speed of the reverse, creating pitch shifting effects

Div to set subdivisions of the reverse timing

Clock to adjust the sample rate of the reverse, changing both the delay time and the signal fidelity

Aux switch for tap tempo and held feedback, or preset switching

Alt controls for volume and direct time manipulation

Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise
