The Wave is a versatile stand-alone, tube driven spring reverb unit. It can be used in front of your guitar amp
or as a line-level, analog reverb effect for the recording studio. Two controls allow you to serve up a wide
range of wetness, from just a touch to over the top psychedelia. The "dwell" control adjusts the input signal
level driving the tank and the "reverb" control adjusts the level of output reverberations from the tank.
