Frequently Asked Questions
Each channel is processed independently with specially tuned reflections and spatial-enhancement techniques. Controls affect both channels concurrently but the audio paths remain separate, producing a genuine stereo image. If you only have one input, IN-L duplicates and routes the signal to create stereo output.

Set your desired controls and mode, press the SAVE button once. The PRESET light will blink three times and stay lit when aligned with the saved settings. Press RECALL once to activate a saved setting; press again to return to current knob positions.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. Connect a standard expression pedal to the EXP jack, then turn the knobs you want controlled fully clockwise to assign them. The expression pedal can be assigned to any or all controls on the fly for hands-free performance.
Is this answer helpful?
The pedal requires 9VDC power (100mA adapter recommended) with a current draw of less than 70mA. Input impedance is approximately 500kΩ and output impedance is around 2kΩ. Use the correct polarity and power ratings to avoid damage.
Is this answer helpful?
BLACK (Standard) and CHROME modes offer distinct SuperMoon algorithms—one leaning toward classic modulated reverb textures and the other toward brighter, more reflective chrome-style verb character. Toggle between them with the BLACK/CHROME button; LEDs indicate the active mode.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. Its true-stereo capability, preset save/recall, expression control, and robust handmade build make it versatile for both live rigs and studio signal chains. Buffered bypass and clear I/O labeling simplify integration into pedalboards and recording setups.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
- True-stereo independent-channel processing for a wide, immersive reverb field.
- Includes both SuperMoon Standard and SuperMoon Chrome algorithms for tonal variety.
- Expression pedal assignable to any control for dynamic, hands-free modulation.
- Handmade construction in Portland, OR emphasizes boutique quality and attention to detail.
- Preset save/recall and preset foot-switch enable reliable live performance control.
Disadvantages
- Requires 9VDC power and specific adapter current capacity; incompatible adapters may cause issues.
- Buffered bypass may color the dry signal for purists preferring true bypass.
- Complex stereo features could be underutilized in strictly mono rigs.
- Expression pedal wiring conventions require correct wiring (tip, ring, sleeve) to function.
- Current draw and size may limit placement on crowded pedalboards without proper power distribution.
Product Description
Mr. Black SuperMoon Eclipse Manual — True-Stereo Reverb for the Modern Player
The Mr. Black SuperMoon Eclipse is a 100% handmade true-stereo reverb pedal crafted in South-East Portland, OR. Building on the acclaimed SuperMoon Modulated Reverberator, the SuperMoon Eclipse introduces a complementary stereo architecture with two independent channels that produce a wide, immersive soundscape. It ships with both the SuperMoon Standard and SuperMoon Chrome algorithms accessible via a mode button, giving players warm modulation and crystalline reflections in one compact stompbox.
True-stereo design means each channel processes its signal independently while sharing concurrent control influence, producing richly textured interplay between left and right outputs. If only a single input is available, the unit can automatically duplicate and route the signal to create a stereo field from IN-L, allowing for flexible use in mono-to-stereo setups.
Controls are straightforward and performance-focused: MIX for wet/dry balance, SWAY for modulation depth (full CCW turns modulation off), and DECAY for reverb tail length. An EXP jack accepts a standard expression pedal to assign continuous control to any or all knobs on the fly. Preset functionality lets you save preferred control positions and modes with the Save button and recall them instantly with the Recall function. The Preset foot-switch toggles activation for live use.
Technical specifications are pedalboard-friendly: buffered bypass, ~500kΩ input impedance, ~2kΩ output impedance, <70mA current draw, and 9VDC power (100mA adapter recommended). I/O labeling is clear: IN-L (left/mono), IN-R (right), OUT-L, OUT-R, POWER and EXP. Wiring for expression pedals uses Tip = Wiper, Ring = Positive Voltage, Sleeve = Ground (10kΩ or greater).
Whether you need lush ambient swells, shimmering modulated verbs, or a stereo field that breathes and moves, the SuperMoon Eclipse provides a versatile palette. Handmade construction and boutique attention to detail make it a compelling choice for guitarists, synth players, and producers seeking a high-quality stereo reverb solution.
Notes:
- Save and recall let you store and instantly engage favorite settings; saved presets are indicated by the PRESET LED.
- Mode switching between BLACK and CHROME is immediate and visually indicated by LEDs.
- Expression pedal assignment is done by turning desired control(s) fully clockwise after connecting the pedal.
- Power adapter polarity and correct wiring are important—use recommended specs to avoid damage.
