KHDK Electronics, known for its high-quality effects pedals, has officially launched the KHDK Digital Bath, a signature filter-delay and modulation pedal developed in collaboration with Deftones frontman Chino Moreno. This highly anticipated release commemorates the 25th anniversary of the band’s landmark album, White Pony, and promises to deliver the album’s distinctive sonic textures directly to your rig.
Capture the Essence of White Pony
The KHDK Digital Bath pedal is more than just an effect; it’s a direct link to the ethereal and heavy soundscapes that define White Pony. Approved and meticulously developed with Chino Moreno himself, the pedal aims to authentically recreate the lush, atmospheric tones heard on tracks like the titular “Digital Bath.”
“Whether you’re sculpting lush ambient landscapes or dialing in subtle movement beneath a heavy mix, this pedal is your invitation to sink into sound and stay there,” states KHDK Electronics, highlighting the pedal’s versatility and immersive capabilities.

Dive into Dreamy Atmospheres with Filter-Delay and Modulation
At its core, the KHDK Digital Bath is a sophisticated filter-delay and modulation effect.
It masterfully merges “incredibly lush filter modulation with analog-style delays to create truly immersive, melancholic textures.” This combination allows players to drown their guitar in “dreamy atmospheres and hypnotic echoes,” echoing the Deftones’ unique blend of aggression and ambiance.
The pedal offers extensive control over your sound with four intuitive dials:
- Delay Time: Adjusts the duration of the echoes.
- Delay Mix: Controls the blend of the delayed signal with your dry signal.
- Filter Mix: Determines the intensity of the filter effect.
- Filter Rate: Modulates the speed of the filter’s sweep.
For even greater intensity, a dedicated Depth switch allows users to push the effect further. Advanced users can also fine-tune internal settings, offering the ability to remove the dry signal or gain precise control over repeats, making it a powerful tool for sound design.
Road-Tested by Chino Moreno: From Coachella to Tour
The KHDK Digital Bath isn’t just a studio marvel; it’s a performance-ready powerhouse. The pedal underwent rigorous testing by Chino Moreno, making its public debut during Deftones’ electrifying Coachella performance this year. It has since become a staple on their current tour, a testament to KHDK’s success in capturing and recreating the beloved effects from White Pony.
This track record for recreating signature band tones makes the Digital Bath a must-have for Deftones enthusiasts and anyone seeking to infuse their music with unique, melancholic textures.
