How cool would it be to have a
Spring Reverb
in your
arsenal to take with you for ready access to the sound
that you like? That is the reason why I wanted to include
a spring reverb effect in the PB-1 pedalboard. My Spring
Reverb has a warm sound with analog characteristics
that can be tweaked thanks to the Tone knob (see
controls 27.) You can obtain that vintage sound by
adjusting Tone to around 12:00 o'clock. I like to use the
Reverb in tandem with the Delay (see settings above) for
a nice echo sound. Try these Spring Reverb settings:
Level (see controls 28.) 9-11 o'clock, Depth (see controls
25.) 10-11 o'clock and Tone (see controls 27.) in the
middle. These settings should give you a nice, warm
concert hall or Twin Reverb-like sound.
The
Loop
is an idea I had for a long time whilst trying to simplify
the set up I had at home with my rig. At home my equipment is set
up to play live in a studio-similar configuration that lets you run
your guitar dry and add effects in parallel. When I was designing
that pedalboard I wanted to have that option but in a simpler way
without carrying extra heavy equipment with me. That's what the
Loop is all about. There are many loop options you can get thanks
to the way that the PB-1 is wired. Some of them are traditional
and some are not, but they all work for different situations and
that's what's great about it. The loop switch (see controls 24.) is
for activating the Loop or canceling the loop. You will find
the Loop jacks in the back of the PB-1 (see controls 34,
35.)
