KUASSA Efektor RV3604 Guitar Pedal Effect Reverb

Thank you for choosing Kuassa products!

  • We encourage you to take the time to read this User Manual thoroughly to ensure trouble free and proper operation of the software.
  • The most commonly used effect. Found on small practice amps to big touring amps. Also on stompbox pedals to large studio rack units. It’s usage is somewhat tricky, but it could be the fine border of a professional recording and a beginner’s work. Reverb is a powerful tool to add depth, distance, and also to build emotion to the listener. It gives ambience, creates space, and produces a sense of three dimensional to the original sound.
  • Taken the algorithms from the sounds of natural spaces to artificially created electrical and mechanicall devices, Kuassa Efektor RV3604 Reverb provides five types of Reverb to enhance your recordings.

Key Features.

  • 5 popular reverb types:
    • Room : Tight and fat roomy sound.
    • Hall : Big and wide concert space.
    • Plate : Simulated vibrating metal plate. Grainy and unique because the low frequency propagates slower than the high freq.
    • Spring : Simulating mechanical springs commonly found on guitar amps. Shimmer: Haunting and atmospheric, created by pitch shifting the reverb tails.
  • Simplified controls for easier and faster work.
  • Separate Wet and Dry controls.
  • Photorealistic graphics for lifelike guitar playing experience.
  • Straightforward and easy to use interface.
  • CV Inputs for Automation (Rack Extension only)
