Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
- Extremely long reverb tails (up to 30+ seconds) for immersive ambience.
- SWAY dynamic modulation adds movement or can be turned off for pure reverb.
- True-bypass switching preserves dry signal integrity when disengaged.
- Runs on 9V adapter or internal 9V battery for gig-ready flexibility.
- Simple, intuitive controls make it quick to dial in usable tones.
Disadvantages
- Long decay settings can overwhelm a dense mix without careful EQ or level control.
- Battery access requires removing four screws — not ideal for quick swaps.
- Modulation may be too pronounced for players seeking strictly transparent reverb.
- Current draw (<60mA) is modest but still occupies pedalboard power budget.
- No onboard EQ or tone-shaping controls to sculpt the reverb character.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SuperMoon accepts a 9VDC negative-center adapter (2.1mm) or an internal 9V battery. Use a regulated adapter to avoid noise and ensure consistent performance.
Is this answer helpful?
Remove the four screws on the backing plate with a Phillips head screwdriver. The 9V battery sits beneath the footswitch. Replace carefully and reattach the plate securely before use.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. Set the SWAY knob fully counterclockwise to turn modulation off for a straight reverb sound without added movement.
Is this answer helpful?
The DECAY control ranges from short room-like tails to very long ambient tails, with the pedal capable of producing 300ms up to 30+ second reverbs depending on settings and signal chain.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. The SuperMoon features true-bypass switching; when the LED is off the signal passes unaffected, preserving your dry tone.
Is this answer helpful?
Input impedance is approximately 500KΩ, output around 2KΩ, and current draw is under 60mA, making it compatible with most pedals and signal chains.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. With simple controls, a durable build, true-bypass, and flexible power options, SuperMoon is well-suited for live performance and can produce both subtle and dramatic ambient effects.

Product Description
Mr. Black SuperMoon Manual
The Mr. Black SuperMoon is a modulated reverberator that transforms guitar tone into vast, immersive atmospheres. Handmade in Portland, OR, the SuperMoon is designed for players who want lush reverb tails with expressive modulation. Simple controls make it approachable for beginners while offering depth for seasoned players seeking ambient textures.
Overview
SuperMoon delivers up to 30+ seconds of reverb tail with an adjustable wet mix and a dynamic modulation circuit called SWAY. The REVERB knob determines the wet/dry balance, SWAY controls the intensity of modulation, and DECAY sets the tail length—from subtle room to cavernous, never-ending ambience. The pedal includes true-bypass switching to preserve your tone when disengaged.
Usability and Build
Built with practical gigging needs in mind, SuperMoon runs on a standard 9V DC negative-center adapter or an internal 9V battery. The battery is accessible by removing the four screws on the backing plate. I/O is straightforward: input on the right, output on the left, and a footswitch with LED status for instant on/off monitoring. The unit’s current draw is under 60mA, making it pedalboard-friendly.
Performance and Tone
At lower REVERB and DECAY settings, SuperMoon yields tasteful room and plate-style reflections. Crank the DECAY and the pedal opens into long, evolving soundscapes rich with modulation courtesy of SWAY. The modulation can be dialed out entirely for clean reverbs or pushed to create shimmering, chorus-like motion across the reverb tail. True-bypass ensures signal integrity when the effect is off.
Handy Notes
- Start with all knobs at noon and adjust to taste.
- Use high-quality cables for best signal clarity.
- Replace the 9V battery with a Philips head screwdriver by removing the four screws on the backing plate.
- LED on = engaged; LED off = bypassed.
Final Thoughts
Mr. Black SuperMoon is ideal for ambient guitarists, shoegaze players, and anyone who wants an easy-to-use yet sonically rich reverberator. Its combination of very long tails, optional modulation, and straightforward controls make it a versatile addition to any pedalboard.
Notes:
- Handmade in Portland, OR.
- True-bypass to preserve tone.
- 300ms to 30+ second tail capable.
