The Dream Station is like two Death By Audio pedals in one! It’s an instant mood creator,
blending DBA-style reverb and delay to plunge your signal into a vivid fantasy hallucination.
Three filter settings let you radically shape the tone and character of the effects, opening up a
myriad of soundscapes at your fingertips and exploding your sound into super-wide stereo.
From shimmering, lush pads to wild slapback insanity, ping-pong comb filtering, and swirling
atmospherics, the Dream Station delivers a full palette of sonic reflection for bending reality and
dreams alike. In this compact package, you can create any combination of echo and reverb with
the Dream Station’s easy-to-use interface and feel the power of a full-stereo ambience in our
smallest reverb ever. With the three filter settings, you can explore different spaces from airy
and bright, dark and moody, and full-range digital. And when you really want to go crazy, crank
the ECHO F-BACK to blow your bandmates away.
Part of Death By Audio’s Destroyer Series, the Dream Station sports the line’s signature look: a
compact footprint, glowing vintage-style LED display, and minimal controls that conceal a world
of sonic madness. Each Destroyer pedal delivers a distinct, over-the-top effect in a smaller,
stage-friendly box - together forming a family of beautifully chaotic tone machines in stereo.
KEY FEATURES

massive with ping-pong delay for an extra wide stereo field.

any scenario, recording or live

CONTROLS
MODE SWITCH - Selects between BRIGHT, FULL, and DARK filter settings for the delay and
reverb.
● BRIGHT - Low frequencies are filtered out for a splashy, airy “tape” sound.
● FULL - No filtering; a complete, uncolored tone for a clean “digital” sound.
● DARK - High frequencies are filtered out, creating a warm, analog-style sound.
MIX - Balances between 100% dry and 100% wet signals. When TRAILS is activated (internal
control) and the pedal is bypassed, MIX still sets the volume of the wet signal.
REVERB TIME - Adjusts the overall reverb length. Turn it down for subtle ambience or pure
delay; turn it up for lush, immersive reverb.
ECHO TIME - Sets the delay time from 2ms to 500ms. In stereo mode, the delay will ping-pong
between outputs at half the set time.
ECHO F-BACK - Controls the feedback of the delay. Pushing past ~3 o’clock may trigger
oscillation.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
Access these controls by removing the backplate of the Dream Station.
INPUT CONFIGURATION SWITCH - Switch between mono TS and stereo TRS.
○ MONO INPUT - Standard mono or mono-to-stereo operation. Lights up “M” on
the faceplate when active.
○ STEREO INPUT - Full stereo operation. Lights up “S” on the faceplate.
TRAILS CONFIGURATION - Determines whether delay and reverb trails continue when
bypassed.
○ TRAILS - Effect trails continue when bypassed.
○ NO TRAILS - Effects are muted when bypassed.
