Looking at the diagram of the algorithm, the input audio signal comes in initially and goes through a volume control and a diffusion block (con­trolled by DIFFUSE) before entering the pre-delay line. The length of that delay is set with the PRE-DELAY control. The output of that delay is sent into the main reverb loop through the injection mixer. The audio circulates through the main reverb loop consisting of a number of delay lines with their lengths set by the EFFECT knob. The precise lengths of these delay lines are varied by an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) controlled by the RATE and DEPTH.
These delay outputs go into additional diffusers (also controlled by
DIFFUSE), then to a block that creates the final wet signal, then to the injection mixer, and then to the feedback block. The reverb TIME knob sets the amount of feedback through the loop anywhere from 0.0 (mini­mum time) to 0.993 (maximum time). The higher the feedback, the longer the sound will continue to circulate through the entire reverb loop. Lower feedback will make the output signal die away more quickly.
The Unitary Mixer takes all these signals and combines them to produce
the same number of output signals. However, this mixer has special properties, such that the signal energy leaving the mixer is exactly equal to the energy going in. This is an important feature that keeps the signal from ringing excessively at any given frequency. Next there is a bank of filters that control the high and low frequency damping. The amount of damping is set by the TREBLE and BASS controls. At this point the signal flow wraps around back into the delay lines. Meanwhile, the extracted wet signal is combined with the dry signal (controlled by the MIX knob) and this becomes the final output.

TIME
TIME
This is the primary reverb control. The TIME parameter sets how long the reverb sound will “ring out”. This can also be thought of as a feedback control to set how long the input will circulate through the reverb effect before dying away. The minimum time corresponds to zero feedback within the reverb. This will produce a single echo spread out by the dif­ference in times of the various delay lines inside the reverb. The shortest times are not realistic in a traditional reverb sense and the longest times are extreme, but each can produce some very interesting effects.
OPTION
OPTION
The OPTION knob offers six secondary parameters that can be assigned to a single physical knob. Press the OPTION SELECT button to scroll through the parameters. The knob will adjust the parameter that is cur­rently selected by the OPTION SELECT button:

begins. Pre-delay times vary between 0 and .5 seconds. In ECHO mode delay times vary between 0 and 2.5 seconds. Pre­delay is excellent for creating slapback effects. It will also create the illusion of playing in a larger space (the longer it takes to hear the first echo, the further away the walls would be). Long pre-delay times may seem excessive, but can work well in a band or mix context.
Tip: Use pre-delay to add clarity. If the reverb begins too soon
after a note is played, it tends to clutter the perception of the sound. Delaying the reverb makes it much easier to hear the dry signal without sacrificing any of the reverb signal. Also, try using pre-delay with a very short reverb time for an interesting and non-traditional effect. This combination creates a single, heavily processed echo.
Tip: If the pre-delay knob is moved while audio is running
through the effect, a Doppler shift will be heard. Assigning an expression pedal or Hot Hand to the Pre-Delay knob (See the Control Assign section) is a great way to create some extremely far-out effects.

Controls: Knobs | 11
OUTPUT (red LED): Sets the overall output volume of the effect
which is useful for matching the level of the effect vs. the bypass volume. It can also be used to prevent clipping if longer reverb times are used with continuous loud inputs.
DIFFUSE (green LED): Adjusts the amount of “spreading” in the
feedback loop. The higher this parameter is set, the more the sound will be diffused as it circulates in the reverb loop. Sharp transients (like guitar pick noise) will be smeared out over time. At least a small amount of diffusion is recommended to create natural sounding reverbs. Larger amounts can smooth over what might otherwise be an undesirable set of individual early echoes. However, maximum diffusion may produce some ring­ing at certain frequencies.
RATE (red LED): Adjusts the rate of the LFO (Low Frequency
Oscillator) that is applied to the reverb. The modulation is an optional setting that adds some nice animation to the reverb sound. In the physical world, reverb modulation would be the sound created in a room with moving walls. Obviously, real rooms don’t have moving walls, but they do have moving air cur­rents, and also a complexity of reverberation paths way beyond what we can simulate. With a slow rate and low depth setting the LFO provides an added level of realism to our reverb.
BASS (green LED): Like the TREBLE control, the BASS param-
eter works like a bass tone control by damping the amount of bass frequencies that go through the feedback loop. Set to full counter-clockwise, this is most bass damping which will tend to cut the overall bass tone. Full clockwise will allow the bass frequencies to ring out resulting in more overall bass.
12 | Controls: Knobs
DEPTH (red LED): The second control related to the LFO. The
YW
MIX
DEPTH control adjusts the total amount of modulation applied to the reverb. As the depth is turned up, there is a sense that the wet signal is running through a chorus effect. With more depth, pitch shifts on individual echoes may be heard and things get rather unnatural (but what’s wrong with that?).
Factory Defaults: given the number of different functions available on the OPTION KNOB, it can be useful to “zero” all of the controls to a default value. We pre-loaded the Dimension Reverb with unique default settings for each reverb type which are a good starting point for each reverb sound. You can recall these values at any time by pressing and holding the OPTION SELECT button until the six red and green LEDs begin to blink.

MIX
Adjusts the balance of the wet reverb sound and the clean input signal. Full counter-clockwise is a completely dry tone and full clockwise is the effected tone with no dry signal added.

TREBLE
TREBLE
This knob controls the high frequency damping (or roll-off) in the feed­back loop. As the knob is turned down (full counter-clockwise) and more damping is applied, higher frequencies will tend to die out more quickly for a duller sound. Turn the knob fully clockwise for the least amount of damping which will result in more overall treble in the sound.
Discovering Preset Knob Positions
Since the Dimension Reverb preset values can differ from the physical knob positions, it may be useful to determine the positions of the preset knob values. To do this, start with the pedal in bypass and set all of the knobs to the full counter-clockwise position. Next, enable the preset and slowly turn each knob up one at a time until the preset indicator LED be­gins to blink rapidly. When this happens, the current position of the knob matches the saved value.
14 | Controls: Knobs
CONTROLS: FOOTSWITCHES
There are two footswitches on the Dimension Reverb. The left footswitch corresponds to preset 1 and the right footswitch corresponds to preset
2. Pressing either of the footswitches will engage the respective preset. Pressing the same footswitch again will put the effect back into bypass mode. Pressing the other footswitch will engage the other preset without going into bypass. There are indicator LEDs for each footswitch that show which preset is currently enabled or both LEDs will be off when the effect is in bypass mode.
When a preset is enabled and edited, the indicator LED for that preset will begin to blink occasionally to show that the preset has been edited. Once a preset has been edited, it can be saved by pressing and holding the footswitch. The LED will blink quickly to indicate that the preset has been saved. Once changes are saved, the LED will be lit solidly again.
Note: Changes made to a preset will be lost if you go into bypass or switch to another preset without saving.
An edited preset can be saved to either of the two preset locations. For example if preset 1 has been selected and edited, it can be saved to pre­set location 2 by pressing and holding the right footswitch.

PLATE AND SPRING REVERBS
Our Plate and Spring effects are simulations of two popular mechanically constructible reverb units. The critical component in a real plate reverb is large plate of sheet metal. Plate reverbs tend to have a high diffusion rate, so for an accurate representation the DIFFUSE knob should be on the high side.
The Spring Reverbs simulate the effect of broadcasting a signal into an actual coiled metal spring. Spring reverbs are commonly found built into many guitar amplifiers.
MODVERB
All of the reverbs have LFO modulation applied to the delay line lengths, but ModVerb has delay lines nearly as long as the E-Dome delays and an additional modulation in which the internal wiring of the reverb smoothly changes at the LFO rate.
METAL BOX
This reverb type also has extra modulation. It replicates a very small space, perhaps the size of a metal cargo-shipping container. It will give a sort of chorused sound with very short reverb times and a lot of modulation.
ECHO
This a basic delay algorithm, using all the same controls that the reverbs use. The TIME knob sets the feedback amount, while the PRE-DELAY sets the echo time. Add some diffusion to create more interesting delay effects.

EXTERNAL CONTROL
One of the new Core Features of the Soundblox 2 line of effects pedals is the addition of the Multi-Function Input. The Multi-Function input is an intelligent control input that can accept both digital and analog control signals. The Multi-Function input replaces the Sensor Input on previous Soundblox pedals. The MULTI-FUNCTION input can connect to wired or wireless Hot Hand accessories, a Source Audio Expression Pedal, or a future Source Audio MIDI interface that will enable full MIDI I/O access to the pedal.

CONTROL ASSIGN
By default, the expression pedal and Hot Hand inputs are assigned to control the TIME parameter. This can easily be changed to control any other knob parameter or an additional REVERB SEND parameter. To as­sign control to a knob parameter:
1. Select the desired external control option: EXP for expression pedal, HH for Hot Hand.
2. Press and hold the CONTROL INPUT (A) button until the LED begins to blink slowly.
3. Set the low position of the desired knob, for example MIX (B), to the lowest setting you would like to use.
4. Press the CONTROL INPUT button again and the LED will now blink rapidly.
5. Set the desired high position you would like to use.
6. Press the CONTROL INPUT button to complete the assignment. The LED will blink 3 times to indicate the process is complete.

REVERB SEND PARAMETER
There is an additional parameter that does not have a knob associated with it but can be used with the expression pedal input or with Hot Hand.

CONTROL INPUT
Press and hold
To select REVERB SEND as the assigned parameter for external control, set the CONTROL INPUT to OFF (no LEDs lit). Press and hold the CON­TROL INPUT button until all three LEDs blink rapidly. The REVERB SEND is now selected as the parameter to be externally controlled. Next, select either HH or EXP mode to control the REVERB SEND.
The REVERB SEND controls how much of the guitar input will be sent in to the reverb effect and how much will be sent to the output. In some ways, this is similar to the MIX control. However, there is an important difference in that this control comes before the reverb. By using the RE­VERB SEND you can selectively send some input signal to the reverb and bypass the reverb for other input. This allows you to create sounds that will ring out and sustain with the REVERB SEND on. When the REVERB SEND is turned down, the sound of the reverb will continue to circulate while a dry sound can be played over it. The following example will help explain:

3. Put the expression pedal in toe down position and play into the effect.
The sound will now begin to reverberate.
4. Next, move the expression pedal into the heel down position to turn
down the REVERB SEND.
5. Now play again and the input will stay dry and not go into the reverb
effect.
22 | External Control
This control allows for some fun ambient effects where a background sound can be created and maintained while a separate part can be played along without turning the entire output into mush.
Using the REVERB SEND for bypass trailing
A common problem when bypassing reverb and delay effects is that the trailing sound is lost. When the REVERB SEND is assigned to the Expres­sion Pedal, it can also be used as a “soft” bypass. With the expression pedal in the toe down position, the reverb will be fully engaged. By moving to the expression pedal to the heel down position, this will effectively bypass the effect but allow the reverb to trail off.
MIDI CONTROL
The Dimension Reverb can be controlled via generic MIDI messages. In order to use the MIDI functionality of the unit, it requires a Source Audio Soundblox 2 MIDI Adapter. Please check www.sourceaudio.net for avail­ability. The adapter connects to the Multi-Function input and provides standard MIDI IN and OUT 5-pin DIN connectors.
Using Soundblox 2 pedals with MIDI greatly extends the functionality of the units. Having MIDI I/O allows for remote automation, external control­lers, firmware updates and more. If you have more than one Soundblox 2 pedal, only one MIDI Adapter is necessary. The Multi-Function output will act as a MIDI thru to pass the MIDI messages on the other pedals via a Source Audio SA160 Daisy Chain cable.
For information on using your Soundblox 2 with MIDI and for MIDI map­pings, please visit our website at www.sourceaudio.net

USE WITH HOT HAND
All Soundblox pedals are compatible with our Hot Hand accessories. Hot Hand units consist of a ring mounted accelerometer that is used to detect motion for controlling effect parameters. On the Dimension Reverb, a Hot Hand unit can be connected to the Multi-Function input. To enable Hot Hand, select the HH mode as the external control option. This will take the input signals for the Hot Hand unit and use them to control whichever parameter has been assigned.
The Dimension Reverb can also be calibrated to change the midpoint of the Hot Hand control range. To do this, follow the calibration procedure below. Note that calibration is only used for Hot Hand mode and calibra­tion is NOT required before use.
To perform a calibration:
1. Select a preset by pressing a footswitch.
2. Enable Hot Hand control by selecting HH mode from the external controls.
3. Press and hold the CONTROL INPUT button until the HH red LED be­gins to blink slowly (this is the same as the control assign procedure).
4. Put the Hot Hand sensor into the desired calibration position.
5. Press the footswitch for the currently selected preset.
6. The HH LED will blink when the calibration is complete.
If you have trouble with calibration and need to get back to the default setting, place the sensor on a flat, level surface with the blue LED facing down and run the calibration procedure again.
24 | External Control
UNIVERSAL BYPASS
Another added feature in the Soundblox 2 line is Universal Bypass which allows you to select between buffered and relay-based true bypass. In other effects pedals, both traditional bypass methods have pros and cons associated with them. Active analog bypass (or buffered) provides a consistent input impedance so that if the input is susceptible (like a guitar pickup) to variations in input impedance there won’t be any notice­able change in tone. Buffered bypass is typically quieter and less prone to clicks and pops. True bypass has the benefit of providing a dedicated hardwire bypass signal path; however, it can cause clicks/pops and typically requires a mechanically complex 3P3T (3-pole, 3-throw) switch.
Relay-based true bypass is a better option but can cause tonal varia­tions since the input impedance can vary when the effect is engaged vs. bypassed.
Ideally, the first pedal in a signal chain should be a buffered input followed by true bypass in the rest of the signal chain.
The Soundblox 2 line introduces Universal Bypass™ as the solution to this
problem. Each Soundblox 2 pedal can be configured to either buffered or relay-based true bypass modes, depending on what is needed in a pedal signal chain.
By default, the Soundblox 2 Dimension Reverb is set to use the relay­based true bypass. To switch to buffered bypass press and hold the right footswitch when powering up the pedal. Continue to hold the footswitch until the footswitch LED blink slowly 3 times. The pedal is now in buffered bypass. To switch back to true bypass, repeat the same process with the left footswitch.
