Frequently Asked Questions
CV allows external modulation sources to manipulate the tape speed and feedback, creating wild, unpredictable delay textures or subtle rhythmic variations.
It's a carefully modeled spring reverb, using analog circuitry to recreate the characteristic bounce and decay of a physical spring reverb unit – not a digital approximation.
While heavy, the robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of touring; a road case is highly recommended for ease of transport.
