Description

Example of its use

01

Bright Room

This room has a bright tone with lots of scattered 

reflections to simulate harder, more reflective surfaces. 

Useful on vocals that require a brighter reverb to 

cut through the mix, or for giving acoustic 

instruments a livelier vibe. 

02

 Warm Lounge

This preset features a medium sized room sound, with 

just enough enhancement of the lower mids to produce a 

warm tone. 

Useful for vocals on songs that require a larger, 

more “wet” sound, or for giving dimension to 

bright horns without adding harshness. 

03

Small Stage

This preset simulates the sound of a small concert stage, 

with a medium reverb time and reverberant space. 

Useful for vocals or guitars in fast paced, 

high-energy songs that call for a “live” 

sounding reverberation.

04

Warm Theater

This reverb has a warm bodied tone and medium long 

reverb time to simulate the live acoustics of a theater 

space. 

Perfect for vocals, drums, acoustic and electric 

guitars, keyboards and more. 

05

Warm Hall

This reverb simulates the sound of a spacious, yet cozy, 

heavily draped and carpeted concert hall with an 

especially warm tone. 

Perfect for adding natural concert hall ambience 

to close-mic’ed orchestral instruments. 

06

Concert Hall

This hall reverb is characterized by its large, spacious 

sound, long pre-delay, and vibrant tone. 

Adds life to acoustic instruments and vocals from 

solos to full-on symphonies and choirs. 

07

Plate Reverb

This preset emulates vintage mechanical reverberation 

that was generated with a metal plate. Its sound is 

characterized by lots of early reflections and no 

pre-delay.

Perfect for thickening percussive instruments, such 

as a snare drum, or tight vocal arrangements.

08

Cathedral

This reverb emulates the extremely long tails, dense 

diffusion and long pre-delays and reflections that would 

be found in a very large, stone walled house of worship. 

Gives amazing depth to choirs, wind instruments, 

organs and soft acoustic guitars. 

09

Chorus

This preset provides a soft, ethereal sweeping effect 

that is useful for thickening and for making a 

particular sound pop out of the mix. 

Perfect for enhancement of electric and acoustic 

guitar and bass, or to add a dramatic effect to 

vocals, particularly group harmonies and choirs.

10

Reverb

This preset perfectly combines the chorus effect above 

with a large, roomy reverb. 

This effect thickens the sound with chorus while 

adding warmth and spaciousness thanks to the 

smooth reverb.

11

Doubler

This effect simulates the sound of a vocal or instrument 

being recorded twice (double-tracked) on a multi-track 

recorder. 

Provides a vibe that is similar to chorus without 

the subtle swirl. 

12

120 ms Delay

This preset provides 120 ms delay. The smaller the delay 

time, the faster the delay.

This FX works best with full, up-beat music like 

rock where the delay needs to cut through the 

mix.

13

Tape Slap

This effect provides a single, relatively rapid delay of 

the original signal, with the added warmth that 

vintage tape-based echo units provided.  

Often used on vocals for a 1950’s era feel, or on 

guitars for a surf-type tone. Often used by people 

whose favorite number is 13.

14

233 ms Delay

This preset provides 233 ms delay. The smaller the delay 

time, the faster the delay.

This FX works best with full, up-beat music like 

rock where the delay needs to cut through the 

mix.

15

300 ms Delay

This preset provides 300 ms delay. The smaller the delay 

time, the faster the delay.

This FX works best with full, up-beat music like 

rock where the delay needs to cut through the 

mix.

16

Delay (300 ms) + Verb This effect combines the Warm Theater reverb effect with 

the echoes of the 3-repeat delay effect.

Perfect for thickening vocals while adding  

dimensions, it can also be used as a spacey  

effect on electric guitars.
