SECTION 1 - FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

Space Decay: Sets decay energy of
the reverberation space
Alt Function: Predelay Sets amount
of time that elapses
before the onset of reverberation

Lo Frequency: Changes how low
frequencies react in the
reverb algorithm. When set closer to
max, low frequency decay times are
extended giving the impression
of a larger room
Alt Function: Density Sets amount of
initial build up of echoes before the
reverb tank

Modulate: Sets overall modulation depth of
the reverb algorithm
Alt Function: Mod Speed Sets dominant
modulation speed of the reverb algorithm

Mix: Adjusts Mix of Dry and
Wet signals in analog domain

Alt Function: Pitch Vector
Mix Adjusts mix between

intra-tank pitch shifted
reflections and normal
reflections
inside the reverb tank

Hi Frequency: Changes how
high frequencies react in the
reverb algorithm and alters
the high frequency absorb­tion of the reverb space.
Set lower to reduce the
amount of time high fre­quencies live in the algorithm
for a more natural room
reverb

Alt Function: Vibrato Depth

Adds vibrato to the reverb
input for lush, haunting trails

Swell LED / Alt Function Switch:

Switch LED ON when Swell is
active. Alt Functions only accessible
when ALT (HOLD) is held

Swell: Press to engage the auto
swell function.
Hold to maximize Space Decay
sustain

Pitch Vector: Sets intra tank pitch interval
to: Octave down, slight pitch up, slight pitch
down, 5th up, or octave up.
Decay, Pitch Vector Mix & Hi/Lo Freq
controls all interact to sculpt the intra-tank
pitch regeneration
Alt Function: Attack Time Sets the attack
time for the swell envelope

Bypass LED / Algorithm
Select Switch: Switch LED

indicates Bypass status.
Small LEDs indicate active
algorithm
ULTRAPLATE: Inspiring &
lush plate with a fast build
CATHEDRA: Massive &
ethereal algo with a slow
build

Bypass: Processes signal
when LED is ON, passes dry
signal entirely in analog
(buffered or relay) when OFF

HOLD (L) LED switch on power up (power up takes 3
secs); all of the front panels LEDs will blink 3 times

KILL DRY:

only in active mode; in bypass, the entire pedal is muted
