The A+
Everest II
is the result of the Everest M evolution. Aside from the new
enclosure, stereo mode and tap tempo, the new pedal has got a new
architecture with completely reworked algorithms. The combination of
reverb and delay in a single compact pedal allows for otherworldly
atmospheric textures along with classic spatial sound processing. The pedal
is suited for use with any kind of instrument: guitar, bass, synths, drums, or
anything else.
The Everest II has retained its predecessor’s compact size, minimalist UI and
extensive sonic palette. New additions include stereo mode with width
control, dual mono mode, tap tempo, and improved hold mode. Sculpting your
sound has never been easier; now you will have even more time for actual
music creation!
Connections
• LEFT IN
is a monophonic signal input. In a mono signal chain, use this input
exclusively.
• RIGHT IN
is an input for the second signal source. A stereo setup can be
achieved by simultaneously connecting two mono signal sources to the
LEFT IN and RIGHT IN inputs. The Everest II does not support TRS
connections.
• LEFT OUT
is the left channel output. Connect it to the signal receiver. In a
mono signal chain, use this output exclusively.
• RIGHT OUT
is the right channel output. Connect it to the signal receiver. A
stereo setup can be achieved by simultaneously connecting the LEFT OUT
and RIGHT OUT outputs to two mono inputs. The Everest II does not support
TRS connections.
The mono and stereo modes are described in detail further on.
• EXT. TAP
is an input for an external tap tempo switch (normally open
momentary button).
• POWER IN
is a power supply input (9-12VDC).
• Micro-USB
is a port for connecting the pedal to a computer for servicing.
Hidden functions are also present; stay tuned for the updates on our
website and social media.
Controls
•
The
REVERB LEVEL
knob controls reverb volume in the wet signal. Turn this
knob fully CCW to disengage the reverb.
•
The
DELAY LEVEL
knob controls delay volume in the wet signal. Turn this
knob fully CCW to disengage the delay.
•
The
REGEN
knob simultaneously controls delay feedback and reverb decay.
•
The
STEREO WIDTH
determines how wide the stereo image is. Turn this
knob while holding down the TAP footswitch to control overall brightness of
the wet signal. For a detailed description of this knob’s functions, please
refer to the “Stereo Setup” section.
•
The
TIME
knob controls delay time. Turn this knob fully CCW if you want to
disengage the delay but still use the filters on repeats.
•
The
MODE
switch selects one of the six reverb/delay algorithms. For a
detailed description of the algorithms, please refer to the “List of
Algorithms” section.
•
The
BEAT
switch selects a subdivision for the time set by the TIME knob or
the TAP footswitch:
•
UP: 3/4 (dotted eighth note).
•
CENTER: 1/1 (quarter note).
•
DOWN: 2/3 (quarter note triplet).
•
The
BYPASS
footswitch has multiple functions:
•
Press once to turn the effect on or off.
•
Press and hold to go into Hold Mode (infinite sustain with a gradual
shift into self-oscillation).
•
Press twice to recall the Favorite preset.
•
Press and hold while changing the MODE switch setting to select
among additional algorithms.
•
Press and hold while changing the BEAT switch setting to select
bypass mode and control the Kill Dry function.
•
The
TAP
footswitch sets delay time after two consecutive presses. Press
and hold the TAP and BYPASS footswitches simultaneously for 3 seconds to
record the current settings as a Favorite preset.
•
Hold the
TAP
footswitch while changing the
BEAT
switch setting to control
internal channel setup (stereo/ping-pong) for the delay section.
Stereo Setup
The pedal has two internal channel setups for the delay section: independent
channels (stereo) or ping-pong. Reverb always processes the two channels
independently.
Use the TAP footswitch and the BEAT switch to select the required internal
channel setup. Press and hold the TAP footswitch, then set the BEAT switch to
one of the positions below:
• UP:
independent channel processing (stereo). The TAP LED flashes
white. The left and right channels are processed by the delay section
independently.
• DOWN:
ping-pong. The TAP LED flashes green. The two channels are
summed before going into the delay section. Delay repeats alternate
between the left and right channel.
In both cases, the STEREO WIDTH knob controls the width of the stereo image.
The STEREO WIDTH Knob
The STEREO WIDTH knob affects the delay and reverb sections
simultaneously, resulting in the most organic stereo image. It provides
complex control over channel crosstalk and micro delays for wide stereo and
Haas effect. This way, a single knob allows you to place the wet signal in the
center or push it to the sides, leaving the center for the dry signal. To visualize
the knob’s ranges in various modes, please refer to the image below.
