OPTION Footswitch Functions
The default control assignments of OPTION footswitch are set to provide an intuitive and effective
experience without making any modifications. The graphic below provides a brief overview of the
default (“out-of-box”) control assignment per reverb engine.
Reverb Hold Function with Dual Processor Architecture
One of the great advantages of the Ventris Dual Reverb’s dual processor architecture is the
opportunity it offers to the Hold function. With the Ventris the Hold function sustains the wet signal
indefinitely while pressing down on the OPTION footswitch. As with most effects units that offer
some type of a Hold (a.k.a. “Freeze”) function, it is also possible to continue playing over the top of
the sustained reverb tail. The problem with most pedals, however, is that when you are sustaining
the reverb tail, reverb is no longer being applied to the dry signal as you play over the top. That is not
the case with the Ventris Dual Reverb – because of the dual processors; it is possible for the second
processor to engage while sustaining the first. For example while sustaining the tail of Reverb A,
Reverb B will be applied to the dry signal. It is also possible (by selecting “Hold Other Engine” in the
Option Press and Hold dropdown menu of the Neuro Desktop Editor) to summon and hold the trail of
