the switch a minimum of two times for the Ventris to change its modulation rate.
OPTION FOOTSWITCH (PRESS & HOLD): Reverb Hold – Sustains the reverb trail until the OPTION
footswitch is released. This is a great way to sustain a chord and create a “pad,” as it is called in
certain circles. While engaging the HOLD function, it is still possible to play on top of the
sustained reverb trail with the reverb from the second processor (A or B) applied to the dry
signal. Check the Neuro Sound Editor section for alternative HOLD configurations.
HALL (1)
Patterned after the lush sounds of studio rack units from the 80s, the Hall L engine is distinguished by
its highly diffuse tones and glorious blooming characteristic. The Source Audio engineering time
invested massive research time in perfectly capturing the complex sounds of these powerful effects
units. It should be noted that though we place this grand effect engine among the classic reverbs, it
has little resemblance to reverberations found in the natural or analog world, rather the Hall L
replicates the extravagant wash of sound popular during the first wave of ambient music recordings.
CONTROL 1: Bass – See the description in the ROOM engine section.
CONTROL 2: Hall Size – Select between 5 different hall sizes. Turn the knob counter-clockwise
for smaller, tighter hall sounds and clockwise to grander reverberations. Please note that this
knob does not gradually increase the size of the hall, rather the knob is split into five regions. As
you turn the knob you may hear the transition points where a new hall size is engaged.
OPTION FOOTSWITCH (TAPPING): Set Pre-Delay Time – Works like a traditional tap tempo
switch on a delay pedal. Pre-Delay Time is the amount of time between the dry signal and the
first wave of reverb reflections (sort of like moving the time of an echo). So tapping the OPTION
footswitch in time with the band syncs the echo effect to the beat of the music. Note: you must
tap the switch a minimum of two times for the pedal to change the Pre-Delay Time.
OPTION FOOTSWITCH (PRESS & HOLD): Reverb Hold – See the description in the ROOM engine
section.
E-DOME (2)
The cavernous E-DOME (a.k.a. “Enormo-Dome”) produces long, lush reverb trails that linger for days.

one is huuuuge.
