Collision Devices Nocturnal

In great condition, works perfectly. 

Comes with original box

The Nocturnal is a handmade multi effect pedal by Collision Devices, designed for creating immersive soundscapes and textured ambiences. Perfect for guitar, bass, synthesizer, or any instrument that plugs in, it merges a modulated delay, dynamic tremolo, and shimmering reverb into one powerful unit. Crafted in France, the Collision Devices Nocturnal is built with precision, from its robust metal enclosure to its intricate circuitry, all assembled by hand.

The sound of the Nocturnal is inspired by cinematic soundtracks and atmospheric compositions, making it an ideal tool for those seeking rich, ambient tones. Each of its three effects, Dusk, Night, and Dawn, can be used independently or combined to produce otherworldly textures. The modulated delay, based on a tape delay circuit, provides warm, nostalgic echoes, while the dynamic tremolo adds sensitivity and depth that responds to your playing dynamics. The shimmering reverb creates ethereal soundscapes, allowing you to lose track of time in its expansive decay.

Playability is at the heart of the Nocturnal, with its responsive controls and real time interaction features. Each effect has its own momentary footswitch, allowing for instant feedback oscillation, tremolo speed boosts, or shimmer trails. These momentary effects open up new possibilities for live performance and studio creativity, making the pedal a versatile tool for spontaneous expression.

The Nocturnal’s control layout is intuitive, allowing you to shape your sound with precision. Dusk's delay offers controls for Mix, Time, Feedback, Modulation, and Speed, letting you tailor the delay from subtle echoes to chaotic, lo fi oscillations. Night's tremolo features Sensibility and Depth controls, giving you full command over its dynamic response. Dawn's shimmer reverb is equipped with Blend, Reverb, Shimmer, Filter, and Colour controls, allowing you to sculpt the perfect reverb tone, from dark and moody to bright and crystalline.

Under the hood, the Collision Devices Nocturnal features a carefully crafted circuit that ensures high quality sound. This analog/digital hybrid pedal is designed for reliability, with a buffered bypass to maintain your tone and a durable, all metal enclosure to withstand the rigours of touring. 

Equipped with a power indicator and ¼” jacks for easy setup, the Collision Devices Nocturnal runs on a 9V DC power supply (not included) and is built to last, backed by a lifetime warranty. The Collision Devices Nocturnal is a perfect choice for those seeking a combination of creativity, functionality, and durability in their sound shaping tools.

In summary, the Nocturnal by Collision Devices offers a unique blend of delay, tremolo, and reverb effects in a beautifully designed, hand built package. Whether you're looking to create subtle atmospheres or vast, sweeping soundscapes, the Collision Devices Nocturnal delivers with precision and style.
