Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Tide' control dynamically pans the stereo reverb image, creating swirling and evolving spatial effects – it's more than just a simple width adjustment.
Yes, it has a mono send/return configuration, allowing you to use it with mono instruments or effects chains, though you'll lose the full stereo capabilities.
It's not *literally* infinite; it's a very long, looping reverb that creates a sustained, ethereal effect. The length is adjustable, but it's significantly longer than a standard reverb decay.
