A reverb pedal loaded with twelve studio-class reverb machines. Each machine offers wide-ranging sound shaping through simple controls. Signal processing runs on a powerful SHARC processor, developed in combination with analog circuit design and high-quality components. The design aims to generate natural, enveloping ambience.
A studio-grade reverb in pursuit of natural, beautiful ambience
Fifty years of reverb technology were reanalyzed from an acoustics perspective and distilled into twelve reverb machines, capturing the essence of classic reverbs alongside a vision of new ones. The SHARC processor and dedicated analog circuitry pack quality surpassing rackmount units into pedal size.
High fidelity built on transparency
The analog signal is left untouched, and the algorithms color only the effect sound. 24-bit 96kHz AD/DA converters and carefully selected parts deliver a dynamic range of 109dB at 100% wet and 115dB at a 1:1 mix with the dry signal.
Analog dry signal path
The dry signal travels a fully analog path with no digital conversion. While keeping the analog dry path, it provides a programmable Mix control, letting you set and save a Mix level with each preset.
Cab filter
Turning on the rear-panel Cab Filter applies a frequency response emulating a guitar speaker. It supports line recording, direct connection to full-range PA systems, and headphone use.
