REVERB
®
BUILT IN USA
Reverb is one of those eects that almost everyone uses... Usually, when plugging
into an amp, the rst thing that happens is a little reverb is added to give the tone
life, and then everything else is tweaked. Unfortunately, these days, most amps just
don’t have a decent reverb on them, and it feels like some amp companies treat
quality reverb as either an afterthought, or like our own Bravado, it is left out
altogether in order to keep the amp as pure as possible.
For years now, there has been the option to buy a simple reverb pedal to
compliment your amp and they tend to be either very simple in features, or at a
level where you need a degree in computer science to program them. Those large
ones generally take up the space of three pedals as well...
When we discussed the Reection, we drilled down into the mind of almost every
guitar player we could to talk to in order to see what they wanted from a reverb
pedal. It turns out that most people still want it to appear simple but at the same
time sound like a million dollars. With that in mind, Brian and Jake locked
themselves away and worked and worked at the heart of the code to would make
the Reection the perfect, single-sized reverb pedal for as many players as possible.
People wanted Spring and Plate, they wanted to be able to control the amount of
pre-delay reection, they wanted to be able to make the trails lighter or darker, and
if possible, an innite decay that wouldn’t get in the way and self oscillate. Also, if
possible, add the option of true-bypass/buered with trails and a dry kill? Consider
it done.
So, that’s exactly what they did. Starting with an always pure analog through tone,
the signal is split and you get two amazing reverbs - clear and crisp studio plate,
and an authentic spring that wobbles and shakes just as you want it. There’s the
ability to add in light reections, up to innite decay, dry kill, trails and everything
listed above. You get the most complicated sounding (but easy to use) straight-for-
ward reverb available.
To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. The Reection features Volume, Pre-Delay,
Tone, Repeats and Decay controls, and on the inside you have the option to set it to dry kill or change the bypass from true-bypass to
buered to give you the options of ‘trails’.
Bypass – A relay based true-bypass footswitch that ensures your signal is unaected when bypassed. However, this can be switched to
buered bypass (see above) for ‘trails’. Don’t worry, the buer in the Reection is awesome and won’t take away from your tone!
Volume – Controls the overall level of the reverb. At low settings, it can be quite subtle and just add that element of room and space
around your tone, the more clockwise you have this setting, the louder the reverb trails become. This can range from subtle to a decay
that can send you into an innite wash of ambience. You’ll nd that balancing this control with the amount of decay and the tone is the
key to your reverb. Remember, nding that balance of volume is what can make you sound awesome, or lost!
Plate/Spring - Your reverb voicing. We all know about Spring tanks and we all know that they don’t sound as good as they used to, but
the Reection is made to sound like those awesome old tube tanks... deep and spongy, so you can get the bounce you need. The Plate
setting is a much more smooth sound, studio quality and just the perfect added touch. When on Plate mode, bring the decay all the way
up, the tone down and enjoy that soft texture that has made endless ambient hearts break wide open.
