Blackskycraft Sunbros - gritty reverb + tremolo

I've been itching to try something from Blackskycraft for ages, and so when this Sunbros appeared on ebay recently, I grabbed it without hesitation. After having spent some time with it, I completely understand the hype. This thing is awesome!

For those who don't know, Sunbros is a "Belton Brick" style reverb, with three kinds of tremolo that can be added to the wet signal, dry signal, or both. You can choose from ramp down, square-wave, or random waveform, for all kinds of choppy, gritty, ambient fun.

You get independent volume controls for the wet and dry signals, plus a master volume to manage the overall output level of the pedal, which is a really nice touch. There's also a dedicated tap tempo footswitch for on-the-fly adjustment of the tremolo rate, and a gain knob to push the reverb chip into overdrive and create some seriously blown-out, deafeningly destructive, fuzzy walls of sound!

I also love the compact form factor, making this thing really easy to fit onto a board. It's a pity it doesn't have top-jacks as well, but at least the power input is also on the side so the top edge can be placed nearer other pedals.

The one thing I really wish it had, was an expression pedal input, maybe with an internal selector switch to choose what parameter it controls. That would really open up the full potential of this pedal, imo! Ah well, maybe that will be a future feature they add to a V2? 🤔
