Panel Layout

1. DC IN: Input for power supply, use a 9V DC regulated power O •-e supply 200mA, center pin negative.
2. Mix knob: Adjusts how much reverb is mixed with the dry signal. When this knob is at the minimum position, the output is only your dry signal. As the knob is turned up, the reverb output increases in volume. The dry signal and reverb are balanced (1:1) at 12 o’clock. Turned past 12 o’clock, the dry signal decreases in volume. When the knob is at the maximum position, only the reverb is output.
3. Decay knob: Adjust the length of the reverb. As this knob is turned clockwise, the reverb time gets longer and longer.
4. Tone knob: Adjust the brightness of the reverb. As this knob is turned clockwise, the sound of the reverb gets brighter.
5. Pre delay switch: Adjust the time between the direct sound and the reverb. Short is 20ms, Long is 40ms. Selecting a longer pre-delay can help maintain presence and clarity.
6. Type Selector: Select the type of reverb including Room, Studio, Hall, Plate, Spring, Mod Modulation Reverb, and Dsverb Distortion Reverb .
7. Input jack L (Mono): 1/4″ mono audio jack left input for connecting to the input device or instrument. When the mono input jack L is connected, it can output stereo signals.
8. Input jack R: 1/4″ mono audio jack right input for connecting to the input device or instrument.
9. 0utput jack L (Mono): 1/4″ mono audio jack of left output, effect output for connection to amp or other devices.
10. 0utput jack R: 1/4″ mono audio jack of right output, effect output for connection to amp or other devices.
11. LED: Indicates the effect on/off, Freeze Mode, and Bypass Mode.
12. Footswitch: Engages and disengages the effect. The footswitch also controls the Freeze function and controls the Trail ON Mode or True Bypass Mode.

Trail ON ModeITrue Bass Mode

• Trail ON Mode is a buffered bypass mode that signal goes through the AD/DA and DSP. When engaging or disengaging the effect, the reverb tails will still keep natural and slowly fade out.
• True Bypass mode is a hard-wire bypass that will not affect the guitar tone when the pedal is bypassed.
• The default mode is Trail ON Mode.
