Amp Designer reverb types
This table indicates the properties of each Amp Designer reverb type.
Reverb type Description
Vintage Spring This bright, splashy sound has largely dened combo
amp reverb since the early 1960s.
Simple Spring A darker, subtler spring sound.
Mellow Spring An even darker, low-delity spring sound.
Bright Spring Has some of the brilliance of Vintage Spring, but with
less surf-style splash.
Dark Spring A moody-sounding spring. More restrained than
Mellow Spring.
Resonant Spring Another 1960s-style spring with a strong, slightly
distorted midrange emphasis.
Boutique Spring A modernized version of the classic Vintage Spring
with a richer tone in the bass and mids.
Sweet Reverb A smooth modern reverb with rich lows and
restrained highs.
Rich Reverb A rich and balanced modern reverb.
Warm Reverb A lush modern reverb with rich lows/mids and
understated highs.
Amp Designer tremolo and vibrato
Tremolo and vibrato are controlled by several switches and two knobs in the eects section.
Tremolo modulates the amplitude or volume of the sound, and Vibrato modulates the pitch of
the sound.
Tremolo and vibrato parameters
•
On/O switch: Click to turn the tremolo or vibrato eect on or o.
•
Trem(olo)/Vib(rato) switch: Click to choose either tremolo or vibrato.
•
Depth knob: Rotate to set the intensity of the modulation for either tremolo or vibrato.
•
Speed knob: Rotate to set the speed of the modulation in hertz. Lower settings produce a
smooth, oating sound. Higher settings produce a rotor-like eect.
•
Sync/Free switch: Select Sync to synchronize the modulation speed with the host application
tempo. If you select Free, you can use the Speed knob to set the modulation speed to dierent
bar, beat, and musical note values (1/8, 1/16, and so on, including triplet and dotted-note
values).
