The annual tradition continues! Reverb’s highly anticipated “Blacked Out” event is back for 2025, featuring a limited-edition run of all-black, gothic-inspired stompboxes created in collaboration with five leading pedal manufacturers. This year’s lineup is proving to be one of the most exciting yet, blending dark aesthetics with legendary tone.
Guitarists and gear collectors should take note: these exclusive, limited-run effects pedals are essential additions to any setup seeking a darker edge.
Star-Powered Signatures and Boutique Bliss
This year’s collection not only brings the cool, stealth-mode look but also features must-have signed editions that will become instant collector’s items:
- Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer: This standout pedal features original, signed artwork by the acclaimed guitarist, Yvette Young (of Covet fame).
- Way Huge Deep State: The Way Huge contribution comes signed by the legendary blues-rock titan, Joe Bonamassa.
The Full ‘Blacked Out’ 2025 Lineup
Reverb has partnered with five elite brands to bring their popular effects into the shadows: Walrus Audio, EarthQuaker Devices, Way Huge, Daredevil, and Death By Audio.
The full list of all-black, limited-edition pedals includes:
- Walrus Audio: Qi Etherealizer (Signed by Yvette Young)
- EarthQuaker Devices: Mini Black Eye
- Way Huge: Deep State (Signed by Joe Bonamassa)
- Daredevil: Chicago Rat
- Death By Audio: Infinity Verb
A Reverb spokesperson stated, “Blacked Out 2025 brings five exclusive, all-black effects from your favorite builders… Each one redesigned, reimagined, and built for players who like their tone with a darker edge.”
A Tradition of Darkness and Scarcity
The “Blacked Out” event has been a massive success since its inception in 2019, when 17 boutique builders offered minimal, all-black variants of their popular designs. The tradition has continued to grow, with last year’s event featuring a sought-after, gothed-up Line 6 DL4.
Given the pedigree of the brands, the high-profile signatures, and the severely limited-edition nature of these exclusive Reverb pedals, they are expected to sell out fast. Gear enthusiasts looking to score these collector’s edition stompboxes should act quickly to avoid missing out on the dark side of tone.
