Description
Description
The highly refined reverb algorithms include a wide range of carefully selected variations, from basics like hall and spring to shimmer, reverse, modulation, and delay. New algorithms can also be added via simple updates using an SD card.
Despite its impressive functionality, including the ability to save your favorite settings as presets, a HOLD function that sustains the reverb sound, control of multiple parameters via expression pedal, MIDI, CV, etc., a cabinet simulator, and various advanced settings menus, operation is extremely simple. There's no need to look at menu screens when editing; everything can be done intuitively with just the knobs and switches, which is a major feature of this unit.
The ultimate reverb sound, produced by 32-bit internal processing and excellent circuit design, is condensed into a compact size.
24 studio-quality reverb algorithms
The unit ships with 12 excellent algorithm types. Multiple variations of each algorithm are available. New algorithms and functions can be easily added at any time via firmware updates via SD card.
Stereo input/output: Stereo specifications allow for flexible connections, and stereo image adjustment and wet/dry output are also possible.
- Highest quality sound Classic reverb sounds such as hall, plate, spring, and room are reproduced with eye-opening, high-quality sound.
- Equipped with a large number of creative, innovative, and extremely sophisticated ambient algorithms that can give ambient sound players a new sound style.
Designed to help you quickly find the sound you want. All algorithm controls are intuitively accessible via knobs, eliminating the need for menus, which is common in multi-function products.
HOLD function: The HOLD function provides infinite sustain while you hold down the footswitch (depending on the mode). You can also layer new phrases over the reverb drone.
- Delay + reverb function
In delay+reverb mode, you can set the delay time using tap tempo.
-Low noise signal path
Achieves an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 104dB, preserving the purity of the analog dry path.
Up to 35 presets: Preset up to 35 settings. Three foot switches allow quick access to each preset.
- Two types of preset bank style or scroll style can be selected
- Switchable between true bypass and buffered bypass You can select between true bypass and buffered bypass to switch the reverb reverberation.
・Cabinet simulator
Equipped with three types of excellent cabinet simulators (Off/Bright 4x12 cb/Dark Vintage cab/Balanced Modern cab), it can be used to achieve an amp sound via the line output when no amplifier is available, and is also useful for recording.
・Output transformer
Even in stereo operation using two amplifiers, a hum-free, professional equipment environment is achieved. Output 2 is isolated by a transformer to eliminate ground loops (can be turned on/off in the settings).
・High-quality audio
Studio-quality 24-bit/48kHz processing with 32-bit internal processing contributes to a beautiful, detailed, and high-quality reverb sound.
Analog Dry Path: The dry signal remains 100% pure and is blended with the wet signal via a VCA, with absolutely no loss in sound quality.
- Connectivity with a variety of external controls: Equipped with a universal control port, it can connect an expression pedal, external tap switch, external audio input, control voltage (CV), MIDI, and more.
The Advanced Settings menu allows you to modify various Reverb settings, including bypass mode, number of presets, MIDI settings, control port, cabinet simulation, input pad, knob lock, and whether or not to use an output transformer.
Compact size: Packed with many powerful features, the ultra-compact body measures 14.5 x 9.5 x 4.5cm, yet still boasts outstanding sound quality.
