Reverb Lite (mono)
The Reverb Lite is a monophonic, slimmed down version of the Big Reverb. This effect
only uses about 3/4 of the DSP resources of the Big Reverb, (and is smaller than even the
Chorus effect) making it the perfect choice when you’re running low on CPU horse-
power. See also
“Background: Reverb” on page 115.

LF Damping Low Frequency Damping cuts the Low Frequency content to
simulate hard, reflective surfaces such as tiles or stone.
Tail Decay Sets the decay time of the reverberation cloud. (RT60)
Tail Diffusion Sets the amount of scattering of the reverb cloud. At low settings,
discrete echoes are heard. At high settings a diffuse wash of
sound is heard. High diffusion settings will increase the overall
decay time.
Tail Room Size Changes the spread of the reverberation cloud echoes,
simulating rooms of various sizes and shapes.
Tail Stereo Mode Independent - In this mode, the left and right sides function as
completely separate reverb units.
Figure Eight - This mode incorporates criss-cross feedback in
which the left channel feeds the right and vice-versa.
Matrix - This mode utilizes multiple feedback paths to create a
spacious, natural sound.
Parameter Description
Pre-Delay Sets the amount of time before any reflected sound is heard.
Decay Sets the overall decay time of the reverberation effect.
Diffusion Sets the density of the echoes and scattering of the reverb cloud.
At low settings discrete echoes will be heard, At high settings a
dense wash of sound is produced. Note: High diffusion settings
will increase the overall decay time.
Room Size Changes the spacing between the reverb stages to simulate
rooms of various shapes and sizes.
HF Damping High Frequency Damping sets the rate at which low frequencies
die away. A setting of zero results in no damping.
Pan This parameter sets the position of the reverberant sound in the
stereo field, in order to change the apparent source position.
Parameter Description
E When using the
Figure Eight or Matrix
modes, pan position will
be less focused and the
stereo image will be
somewhat blurred.
