Death by Audio – was a warehouse space on the first floor of an industrial building in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The warehouse took its name from the boutique effects pedal company Founded in 2002 by Oliver Ackermann. The warehouse operated primarily as a work space for artists and musicians, but also functioned as a recording studio, effects pedal factory, as well as an art and music venue, which received generally positive reviews from critics. In later 2014, Vice Media rented the building Death By Audio was located in, forcing them to shut the venue down [1].

There is a number of cult distortion pedals made by Death by Audio. No wonder that their Echo and Reverb pedals include that Fuzz/Gain knob which is a great option for drone makers!

• Echo Dreams 2 - a powerful mono delay pedal with insane controls. Push the feedback for wild sound worlds. Bring in a warble on the modulator or absolutely warp it. Overdrive the delay with the fuzz control.
• Reverberation Machine - a synthetic atmosphere creator. Use this mono effect on any instrument to add depth and simulate different environments. Push the Altitude and hear the reverb get blasted with gloom and distorted shimmer. Flip the tone toggle to get completely different vibes. Experiment and combine a variety of settings to obtain the perfect ambiance for your sound.
