DECAY: Controls the decay time of the reverberated signal. Set low for small rooms, plates and short springs. Set high for huge arenas, massive plates and enormous springs.

PRE-DELAY: Controls the delay time before the reverberated signal appears. This is an essential control in creating an accurate and pleasing reverb.

TIP: for most natural results, use lower MIX settings when using higher Pre-delay.

MIX: Controls the balance of dry signal and wet signal from 100% dry at minimum to 100% wet

at maximum. The mix occurs entirely in analog.

LOW DAMP:

Controls the amount of Low Damping in the reverberated signal. Acts essentially like a tone control resulting in more or less low end in the reverb decay trail.

MODE SWITCH:

Switches between 3 reverb modes (normal, mod, shimmer). Normal mode provides an unmodified version of the selected reverb type. Mod adds gorgeous modulation to the selected reverb type. Shimmer mode adds regenerative octave up pitch shifting “in the tank” for a reverb trail that rises into the clouds with

a plate. For Spring and Room shimmer, an octave plus a fifth is regeneratively introduced.

TYPE SWITCH:

Switches between 3 different types of reverb (plate, room, spring). Plate gives you an intensely high quality vintage studio plate type reverb. Room

type is a versatile room ranging in size from a bedroom to an arena. Spring provides an excellent recreation of the best vintage spring reverbs.

TIP: Adjust LOW DAMP and HIGH DAMP controls with the spring type reverb to vary the color and age of your spring tank.

FAVORITE FOOTSWITCH:

Press to select saved favorite sound. When FAVORITE LED is lit the favorite setting is engaged. When each knob is turned, the LED will indicate the saved favorite position of the knob. Push and hold the foot switch to save a new favorite sound.

BYPASS FOOTSWITCH:

Engages and disengages effect. Bypass mode is true bypass by default. LED on indicates that the effect is engaged. TIP: Hold the bypass footswitch during power up to change the bypass mode to analog bypass with trails (reverb persist).

TIP: Hold down FAVORITE and BYPASS while turning the MIX knob to achieve a +/- 3dB

 

Boost or Cut when the pedal is engaged (12:00 on the Mix knob is unity gain).
