The Manny Marroquin Signature Series consists of six plugins: Manny Marroquin EQ – A four-band equalizer, with each cutoff point inspired by a different hardware unit that Manny uses for that range. Manny Marroquin Reverb –18 of Manny’s favorite reverbs in one plugin, topped off with a bit of EQ, compression, phasing and distortion. Manny Marroquin Delay – A delay plus multi-effect plugin with phaser, reverb, distortion and harmonizer for enhanced depth and groove.

Effect Section Signal Flow 1.4 A Few Words from Manny Marroquin “For my Reverb plugin, we modeled the very best reverbs in my room, 18 of my favorites: Six different reverbs, with three different room sizes for each. We also included some EQ and compression, which I always use to shape the reverbs so they sit perfectly within the mix. Plus, we added what I like to call the ‘fun’ section, with phaser and distortion.
1.5 Components WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plugins, which we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material. The Waves MannyM Reverb plugin has two components: MannyM Reverb – Mono MannyM Reverb – Stereo 1.6 WaveSystem Toolbar Use the bar at the top of the plugin to save and load presets, compare settings, undo and redo steps, and resize the plugin.
Chapter 2 – Controls INPUT determines the level into the plugin. Range: -18 – 18 dB TYPE selects the reverb type. Range: Hall, Room, Chamber, Plate, Space, Ambience Please note: It takes about one second to move from one reverb type to another. This control is not automatable. SIZE sets the size of the reverb selected in the Reverb Type. Each size loads a different reverb. For example, a Small Room reverb and a Medium Room reverb are different reverbs, not different sizes of the same space.
Please note: It takes about one second to move from one reverb size to another. This control is not automatable. TIME determines the selected reverb RT60 (the time it will take the reverb to decay by 60 dB). Time resets to 100% when Type or Size are changed. Range: 50 – 200% (100% = original reverb time) Please note: It takes about one second to change the reverb time. This control is not automatable. PREDELAY determines the amount of time before the reverb begins.
COMP controls the compressor set on the reverb path. With slow attack and fast release times, this helps set the reverb’s dynamic placement within your mix. Range: 0 – 100 (0 = no compression, 100 = maximum compression) RATE determines the rate of the phaser. Range: 0.00 Hz – 20 Hz PHASER determines the overall level of the phaser effect. Range: 0 – 100 DISTORTION determines the overall level of the distortion effect.
