ATTENTION! THE SPRING REVERB IS MONO

When on Stereo setup, the Reverberated signal 

will be applied to both Left and Right Outputs, 

meaning that if you send a Stereo signal Input, 

the Reverberated signal will blend both Left and 

Right Inputs and send them to both Outputs. But 

this will only happen for the Reverberated signal, 

the Dry signal will always be Stereo.

TIP:  As the Spring Reverb is a mechanical 

device, it can still generate sound even without 

the speakers on. Drive Hypnosis really hard and 

turn the Reverb ON. In a quiet room you should 

be able to hear the springs generating sound. 

What is a Spring Reverb?
A Spring Reverb is the broadband resonance that 

is generated when vibrating a metal coil, which is 

held under tension. This effect is mechanical and 

can be affected by its environment. If you touch 

or hit the spring, sound will be generated.
Hypnosis has a short 3-spring reverb tank. You 

must be careful on where and how you place the 

unit, in order to avoid unwanted vibrations. For 

example, if you place Hypnosis and the speaker 

on the same surface, the tank will most likely 

pick up the vibrations that come from the speak-

er, regenerate them, send them back to the 

speaker and a circle will begin, resulting in an 

unwanted (or wanted???) feedback.
Be really careful on how you treat Hypnosis so as 

to have your springs working for years to come.

Press and hold the REVERB button for 1 sec.

The 3 buttons will start to blink.
Choose your desired LFO wave.

After you set the Reverb mode, you

will get back to the previous state.
