Frequently Asked Questions

It's essentially a high-frequency roll-off or enhancement; turning it up brightens the reverb tail, while turning it down creates a darker, more muffled reverb.
The 'Light' mode can be useful for more subtle textures, but the pedal's character leans towards darker, more saturated tones. It’s not ideal for pristine, clean reverbs.
You'll need a standard 9V DC power supply with a 2.1mm barrel connector and center-negative polarity to avoid damaging the pedal.
