Frequently Asked Questions
The Tone control primarily shapes the high-frequency content of the reverb tail, adding brightness or warmth. Excessive turning can introduce a slight muddiness, so careful adjustment is key.
While the Decay control allows for extended reverb tails, it's primarily geared towards shorter, more defined spring reverb sounds rather than long, wash-like ambience.
Mixer 1 and Mixer 2 let you store and quickly switch between two distinct reverb settings, tweaking Decay, Dwell, Tone, etc., for each preset.
