Getting Started
Connect the input and output using 1/4" TS cables (for mono) or TRS cables (for stereo). When using TRS
cables, the left channel is on the tip and the right channel is on the ring.
Plug in a 9V DC regulated power supply rated at 250 mA or more. If the pedal's LED turns magenta and
it switches to bypass mode, that means it detected a problem with the power supply. The most common
problem is that the power supply is not providing enough current. See our
knowledge base for informa-
tion about specific power supplies.
To begin, you can ignore the "shift" parameters and treat the Context as a two-knob reverb. Start with
these settings:
BLEND controls the wet/dry blend, Set it to 12:00 (50/50).
PRE (predelay) sets a delay before the initial reverb sound.
Set it to 7:00 so that the reverb starts immediately.
DECAY sets the reverb decay time. Set it to 3:00 to hear the
difference between the algorithm tails.
MOD (modulation) sets the amount and character of modula-
tion. Set it to 7:00 (off) for now.
HI sets the high-frequency response. Set it to 3:00 for a
bright reverb.
LO sets the low-frequency response. Set it to 3:00 for a
full-spectrum reverb.
Start by selecting the
ROOM algorithm.
These settings can be used as a starting point when designing a reverb sound. Cycle through each of the
reverb algorithms and note the differences in how fast the reverb builds up and how the sound changes
as it decays.
Next adjust the MOD knob with different reverb algorithms. The MOD knob adjusts the amount and
character of the modulation. It behaves different in different modes. For ROOM, HALL, CATHEDRAL,
and PLATE, the modulation morphs from random chorus modulation at lower settings, to a pitch-stable
random modulation, then a deep chorus modulation. For REV (reverse) reverb, it adds a wash of regular
reverb. For SPRING reverb, it sets the tremolo depth.
The HI and LO controls adjust high- and low-frequency damping and response. Both knobs at 3:00 PM
gives a full-spectrum reverb, with low and high boost at higher settings. At low settings, the reverb
bandwidth is reduced.
Web Editor
We provide a web-based editor to configure your Context, access hidden parameters, and fine-tune pre-
sets. See "Web Editor (beta)" on page 32 for more information.. It requires the Google Chrome brows-
er, and can be accessed at
