The Adverb Reverb was first introduced as a 
stand alone pedal. It is an analog sound spring 
style reverb and more. Working closely with 
Paul Franklin, we took the original Adverb and 
tweaked it to work for steel players. 

Here are a few settings:

First, lets set your unity level. Set Depth (16) 
Input Gain (15), Level (12) and toggle switch 
(14) to off position. Tone (13) to 12 o'clock. 
Make sure the effect is off and now play and get 
your desired volume from the amp. Now that 
your amp volume is set, kick in the Adverb and 
listen to see if there was any dropped in 
volume. If so, start turning the Level knob (12) 
while constantly clicking the effect on and off to 
match unity volume. (Normally its between off - 
9 o'clock position for unity level). 

Now, you can start rolling the Depth (16) for 
desired Reverb sound. More of the Depth (16) 
more of Decay (Reverb). For a warmer 
sounding Reverb keep the Tone (13) at 12 
o'clock position or turn it down as desired. 

For a brighter sound turn Tone (13) up until 
satisfied. The Input Gain (15) control the 
amount of level coming in to the chip so more of 
the the Input Gain (15) the more of the "springs" 
effect you'll hear. You can can adjust the Input 
Gain (15) and Depth (16) for different Verb 
soundings. You can find different settings down 
below on settings and illustrations.

The Toggle switch (14) was added as bonus 
feature last minute. On the original Adverb 
there is a feature called Shimmer that gives 
you the option of a Chorus type effect. Paul 
Franklin and myself decided to tweak that 
option to work smoothly for Pedal Steel. 

When you find the settings you like now set 
the Toggle switch (14) to the gain position. 

You will notice almost an increase of volume 
but also you notice that your tone is warmer 
and there is a slight Shimmer (chorus) type 
of effect. The more you increase the Input 
Gain (15) the more of the shimmer effect 
you'll get. 

NOTE: if you set the Input Gain (15) to the 
max and turn the Toggle switch (14) to 
gain there is a possibility of some "dirt" 
distorted tone coming out. This is due to 
the nature of the chip and the fact that we 
are pushing it to the max.
