REFLECTING POOL
Thanks for purchasing the Reflecting Pool delay-reverb pedal. This highly
sophisticated digital effect uses advanced DSP technology to create lush
and complex time-based effects. Featuring independently switchable
delay and reverb, dedicated tap tempo footswitch, stereo I/O and a wide
selection of different algorithms and variations — including modulation,
shimmer, gated, and reverse sounds.
DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

REVERB CONTROLS
Reverb Bypass Footswitch & LED
Footswitch bypasses reverb effect. LED Illuminates when reverb is active.
Decay
This control adjusts the reverb decay time, or length of the reverb signal.
Counterclockwise settings produce smaller room and ambient sounds, while
settings closer to fully clockwise can produce the sound of huge spaces.
Damp
Attenuates high frequencies and “darkens” reverb tail.
Level (Reverb)
Controls “wet/dry” reverb signal mix.
Extra
Modifies an “extra” algorithm-specific parameter. On “Hall” and
“Room”reverb settings it controls “tilt” between high and low
frequency decay times. On Special “Shimmer” setting (see
“Variation Switch” below) it controls regeneration of cascading octaves.
On Special “Gated/Reverse” setting (see “Variation Switch” below) it
controls reverb tail shape, and on Special “Modulated” setting it controls
modulation depth.
Type Switch
Toggle among Hall, Room and Special reverb types
Variation Switch
Toggles among three different variations for each reverb type:
Reverb
Type Switch
HALL
ROOM
SPECIAL
Description
Classic diffuse space with a
sense that walls are far apart.
Smaller, more lively feel
than HALL.
Classic modern reverb effect with
octave-up pitch shift in loop between
reverb input and output. Successive
octaves are added as reverb decays,
imparting a blooming, atmospheric effect.
Small-space reverb, plus gated and
reverse reverb. Set EXTRA and LEVEL
control knobs at full clockwise position
for “full-wet” reverse effect.
Very large space with some pitch
modulation. Ideal for ambient pads and
swells.

“Extra” Knob Function
Controls amount of low-frequency rolloff in reverb decay. Turn
EXTRA knob counter-clockwise for more bass in reverb tail;
clockwise for less (similar to a bass cut).
Controls amount of regeneration into octave-up reverb effect,
which determines how much of the octave is heard and how
Controls reverb tail shape. At full counterclockwise, shape is a
typicaldecaying taper. At noon produces a gated shape; at full
much octaves will “stack.”
clockwise produces reverse reverb.
Controls reverb modulation depth
(modulation rate fixed at 0.1 Hz).

DELAY CONTROLS
Delay Bypass Footswitch & LED
Footswitch bypasses delay effect. LED Illuminates when delay is active.
Delay Tap Tempo Footswitch & LED
Set delay time by tapping two or more times at desired rate. LED flashes in
sync with delay time.
Time
Turn Time control knob to set delay time from 10ms to 1 second. To select
various rhythmic subdivisions, press and hold Tap footswitch while turning
Time control knob. Select rhythmic subdivisions including (clockwise): 16th
note, dotted 16th note, 8th note, 8th note (triplet), dotted 8th note, quarter
note, half note. After selection, release Tap footswitch.
Feedback
Controls number of delay repeats.
Mix
Controls blend between main delay and secondary delay tap defined by
SUBD toggle switch (see “SUBD Switch” below). At minimum setting, main
delay only is heard. Secondary delay tap becomes increasingly audible as
knob is turned. At maximum setting, secondary delay tap only is heard.
Delay Type Switch

ANALOG
TAPE
ECHO
Authentic digital delay emulation with three
modes available via the Quality switch.
Analog (bucket brigade) delay emulation with
three modes available via the Quality switch.
Authentic tape-echo emulation with three
modes available via the Quality switch:
Level (Delay)
Controls “wet/dry” delay signal mix.
Rate
Controls modulation speed.
Rate LED
Flashes in time with modulation speed.
Depth
Controls modulation depth.
Type Switch
Toggle among Digital, Analog or Tape delay types.
Subdivision Switch
Enables selection of rhythmic subdivision for second delay tap (secondary
delay time is a subdivision of main delay time). Rhythmic subdivision values
are: 50% (8th note relative to quarter note), 66% (quarter note triplet
relative to quarter note) and 75% (dotted 8th note relative to quarter note).
Quality Switch
Enables selection of 3 distinct delay repeat types (useful as progressive
reduction in delay repeat quality).
Variation SwitchDescription
1: Crystal-clean delay.
2: Some audible signal degradation similar to lo-fi digital hardware.
3: Grunge with less high end and the sound of old-school signal processors.
1: Softer repeats and less highs and lows than digital.
2: Less fidelity and slightly more distortion than NOS mode.
3: The highest amount of bass and treble cut, the most distortion, and
even some artifacts from the bucket-brigade sampling process.
1: The sound of a 15 ips studio tape echo unit.
2: Lower degree of fidelity and higher degree of tape saturation
than NOS mode.
3: Even lower degree of fidelity and higher degree of tape saturation than NOS
and classic modes. Use DEPTH and RATE control knobs (especially with RATE
at full clockwise) for realistic wow and flutter of old tape.
