ALIGN SERIES

REVERB

USER’S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The Align Reverb was built from the ground up to

complement the natural body dynamics and warmth

of acoustic instruments that we love so much. The

circuit seamlessly integrates the wet and dry signals

with the eect in side chain so that it never overwhelms

the original signal. We shaped the reverb with analog

EQ to reect the natural voice inherent in acoustic

instruments. Additionally, the tone control adds versa-

tility by sweeping from warm and muted to open and

present. The result is an organic reverb that maintains

the audiophile purity of the original signal with the

controls set in any position.

GETTING STARTED

1. Power the Reverb with a 9V power supply or a 9V

battery.

2. Plug your guitar into the input to activate the

Reverb (upper right hand side) and a cable into the

¼” output (upper left hand side).

3. Start with the volume control at noon. This should

match the engaged signal with the bypassed signal.

4. Plug the ¼” cable into your amp, PA, or next pedal in

the signal chain and experiment with the Reverb

.

TOP FEATURES

A. TONE

This is a simple control to help you alter the tone of

the reverb itself. It will not aect the tone of your

instrument, only the tone of the reverb. Turn the control

clockwise for a present, reective sound or counter-

clockwise for dark, subdued tones.

B. INSTRUMENT INPUT

The ¼” input is an unbalanced (mono), all-discrete

input. Plugging into the input will activate the Reverb,

therefore, unplugging will turn the system o.

C. DECAY

The decay control adjusts the length of the reverb tail.

Start with the control counter clockwise and you’ll hear

subtle reection of your acoustic instrument. Turn

it clockwise and you’ll nd yourself playing in an

expansive, open space. Adjust to taste.

D. ENGAGE

Press the footswitch to engage the eects. When the

light is on, all of the controls on the Reverb are engaged.

When the light is o, the whole pedal is true bypassed.

E. REVERB

The reverb control blends an aected reverb signal with

an unaected instrument signal. When turned fully

counter-clockwise, no reverb will aect the signal. Turn

clockwise to add reverb.

F. ¼” OUT

The ¼” output is an unbalanced, line level output. You

can plug into any amp or device that has a ¼” input. We

recommend running into any other LR Baggs Align

pedals, DI’s, or the Synapse Personal PA System.

G. VOLUME

The master volume will help you nd a balance between

your engaged and bypassed signal. It is only active

when the engage light is on. Keep in mind that the level

of the reverb control can aect this balance, so you may

need to adjust the volume as you adjust the eect.

SIDE FEATURES

A. DC INPUT

The DC power input is designed for a standard 2mm

plug commonly used with eects pedals and “oor-

box” products. Most power supplies or multi-power

devices designed for musical products may be used.

9VDC recommended with a 12VDC maximum. Plugging

in a power supply will activate the Reverb.
