REVERBS
Soft Room
A room type that simulates a relatively small
room well furnished. In such a room many
reflections are absorbed by soft material and
source material is reflected and sustained only
from walls and windows etc. The sound is
short, dry, and quite intimate.
Tiled Room
Often you’ll want to get the “bathroom” effect,
without actually wanting it to sound like you’re
playing in your bathroom. The Tiled Room
reverb simulates the qualities of a small to
medium size tiled room with its many reflections
and at the same time it behaves respectfully
towards the original source material. Use it as
an effect that adds quite a bit of color to your
sound.
Church
A highly diffuse reverb that is recognizable for
its emulation of the many hard surfaces of
different shapes found in traditional church
rooms.
Concert Hall
This reverb has become a classic in it self. It
simulates a rather large hall and it’s stunningly
good at preserving the original and natural
characteristics of the source material.
If you’re looking for a sound with long decay
times the Concert Hall is excellent and you’ll
get a large and broad sound that is very
distinctive.
Gold Plate
We’ve boosted the full potential of the plate
reverbs of the past, and designed the Gold
Plate algorithm to reflect all the brightness,
coloring and diffusion that the original plate
reverbs had to offer. Use this reverb when you
just can’t get “gold” enough on your sound.
Silver Plate
The Silver Plate algorithm is a luxuriously well-
tempered plate reverb, which gives you a
perfect balance between the Tin and Gold
Plate reverbs. It’s got all the qualities of a
classic plate reverb, the right amount of
exquisite and gentle coloring with crystalline
brightness and subtle diffusion. Use this reverb
for just about anything, and especially when
you want to add that complete and personal
ambience.
Tin Plate
We have done our best to recreate the plate
reverbs used before the digital era. The Tin
Plate reformulates the sound of a large metallic
plate, and gives you a sound that you probably
heard on many recordings from the past. Use
the Tin Plate when you just want the pure and
uncolored plate sound. It is bright and has a
diffuse quality that is perfect for funky rhythm
guitar patterns.
Ambience
With focus on the Early Reflections that defines
the perception of a room size, the Ambience
Reverb type is typically used on dry recordings
simply to emulate a feeling of environment.
Ambience and Room definition are the
keywords here.
Stomp
Quite an extraordinary reverb type reproducing
some of the characteristics from contemporary
stomp-box reverbs. This is not a smooth subtle
reverb but may be just what you are looking for
if you need a reverb that is different and can
cut through.
Club
Did you ever discover the great difference of a
sound-check and the actual concert? The Club
Reverb emulates a typical empty medium sized
club. Try this as an effect that will emphasize
and position the guitar rather than give it a big
sigh.
