Death by Audio Dream Station

DREAM STATION - Stereo Reverb Transmissions 

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

• Reverb and Delay - Combines 2 classic ambient effects in one package.
• Dial In The Ambiance - Reverb blends from slight air to crushing wall.
• Full Stereo Operation - True stereo operation expands your sound from mono to massive with ping-pong delay for an extra wide stereo field.
• Perfect In Any Place - Perfect for mono or stereo chains and with wet/dry mix to fit into any scenario, recording or live
• Just the Frequencies You Need - Powerful filter section changes reverb and delay tone, putting you right in the sweet spot.
• Pedalboard-Friendly - A bite-sized package with a massive sound.
• Tour-Grade Build Quality - Rugged enclosure, top quality components, hand assembled, and built to last.

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.
