SOUND MODES
Space Force has eight selectable sound modes, each based on a dierent reverb eect type. You can tweak these modes to your taste, and you can save any sound to any preset. To change sound modes, turn the lower right
knob on page 1. Tap the lower right knob to advance to the next page.
The following controls are common to all modes on page 3:
DIV - tap division for modulation or delay, not available in DYNAMIC or PITCH modes RAMP - Ramp rate, lower settings ramp faster
LEVL - overall volume for the eect TRIG - Ramp trigger mode, please see Expression and Ramping for details
Reverb modes marked with * support reverb HOLD. Turn this knob to maximum to increase reverb time and freeze the reverb. While the HOLD is active, the reverb eect will be “frozen” and new notes will not add the
reverb. Reduce this knob slightly to exit HOLD and return to normal reverb mode. Fun tip: try ramping or using the expression pedal to engage the HOLD function to create reverb “pad” eects.
PLATE
Based on a vintage studio reverb, this simulates the reective properties of a giant
metal plate. We’ve also included a virtual tape pre-delay and adjustable tape
anging modulation.
SIZE* - reverb decay time
DAMP - reverb high EQ
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
PRE - tape echo pre-delay
RATE - tape anger rate
WAVE - tape anger waveform
DEPTH - tape anger intensity
MOD HALL
Classic 1980s electronic hall reverb with adjustable pitch modulation. We’ve
added high and low EQ controls to allow for ne-tuning the reverb tone.
SIZE* - reverb decay time
TONE - reverb high EQ
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
LOW - reverb low EQ
RATE - reverb modulation rate
WAVE - modulation waveform
DEPTH - modulation intensity
PITCH
Chamber reverb eect with twin adjustable pitch shifters. Each shifter has
selectable intervals ranging from a detune eect to an octave. Try with detune or
down an octave for a cool textural wash.
SIZE* - reverb decay time
TONE - reverb high EQ
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
UP - pitch up amount
DOWN - pitch down amount
P.UP - pitch up interval
P.DN - pitch down interval
SPRING
Surf’s up! Spring reverb eect with multi-wave tube bias type tremolo. We’ve
placed the tremolo after the reverb to ensure that it stays juicy no matter how wet
you run the springs.
PING - spring reverb “drip”
TONE - reverb tank tone control
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
TANK - size of reverb springs
RATE - tube bias tremolo rate
WAVE - tremolo waveform
DEPTH - tremolo intensity
LO-FI
1990s style electronic reverb with distortion on the reverb trails. Classic
“shoegaze” eect, try this with the SAW modulation to simulate whammy bar
guitar.
SIZE* - reverb decay time
DIRT - post-reverb dirt
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
PRE - reverb pre-delay
RATE - vibrato modulation rate
WAVE - vibrato waveform
DEPTH - vibrato intensity
ANALOG
“Electronic” reverb based on an obsolete analog delay chip, these units were often
used in karaoke units and have a distinctive tone. Keep the time knob low for
reverb or increase for cascading delay eects.
TIME - delay time
REPT - delay feedback / repeats
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
TONE - delay tone control
RATE - chorus modulation rate
WAVE - chorus waveform
DEPTH - chorus intensity
DYNAMIC
Large cathedral-style reverb with a volume-sensing fade eect. GATE mode will
cut o the reverb like ‘80s drums, BLOOM will fade in just the reverb signal, and
SWELL fades in both wet and dry for a more intense eect.
SIZE - reverb decay time
DAMP - reverb high EQ
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
PRE - reverb pre-delay time
TIME - slow-attack gate time
ATTK - gate sensitivity
RELS - gate release
TYPE (pg3) - GATE, BLOOM, SWELL
ECHOVERB
Room reverb and delay in parallel. Each eect has its own set of controls and is
independent. The delay eect works even when the reverb eect is in the HOLD /
FREEZE state.
REVB* - reverb decay time
TONE - reverb high EQ
MIX - mix of wet and dry signals
DTIM - delay time control
REPT - delay feedback / repeats
DMIX - delay mix
D.EQ - delay high EQ
