The Concert size is well-balanced, spacious and warm, while the Arena size is huge, enveloping and booming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlate Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plate machine is a rich, fast-building reverb that creates depth without early reflection cues to a specific environment. The Tone knob and Low End parameter are simple but powerful frequency shaping tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standalone spring tank became a staple of surf and spaghetti-western music that developed in the ’60s. The Spring machine allows for complete customization from warm and mellow to splashy and dripping with its Tone and Mix Controls, Dwell parameter, and selectable number of springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwell Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swell machine brings in the reverb gradually behind the dry signal for subtle evolving textures, like having a volume pedal on the wet signal. Alternatively, you can choose to have the dry signal swelled into the reverb, for maximum ambience and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the ‘90s, more diffusion blocks were added to reverbs to ‘smooth out’ the sound. A side effect of this was the tendency of the reverbs to have a slowly building envelope that ‘bloomed’, resulting in big ambient reverbs that sit nicely with the dry signal even at high Mix levels. The Bloom reverb features a ‘bloom generating’ section that feeds into a traditional reverb ‘tank’, and adds a unique Feedback parameter that expands the possibilities exponentially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloud Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gorgeously big, ambient reverb that draws from techniques developed in the late ’70s. Using processing power not dreamed of in those days, the Cloud reverb machine obscures the distinction between reality and fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChorale Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vocal choir accompanies your music. Choose vowel ranges and intensities to customize your choir as it sings in venues that vary with the Decay knob. As the Modulation is increased, the choir becomes alive with a multitude of voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimmer Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo tunable voices add pitch-shifted tones to the reverberated signal, for resplendent, unearthly ambience. The voices are carefully created from the reverberated signal itself to generate maximum radiance and beauty. The Amount and Mode parameters allow for a range of shimmer effects from laid-back and subtle to full-blown majestic splendor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagneto Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new style of music emerged in the late ’50s, featuring the guitar as the ‘lead voice’ enhanced by the reverberated wash of a multi-head echo. The Magneto machine sets up a multi-head echo with all heads on, while the PreDelay knob adds feedback. The Diffusion parameter adds a new dimension of ambience, smearing the response of the heads and blurring the line between delay and reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNonlinear Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA variety of physics-defying reverb shapes are available for special effects and unique textures. Choose from three ‘backwards’ shapes (Swoosh, Reverse, and Ramp), or a Gate and more. Feedback control, Late Reverb, and Diffusion parameters allow for a vast array of time-warped possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReflections Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reflections machine is a psycho-acoustically accurate small-space reverb that allows you to move your amp anywhere in the room. The Reflections algorithm precisely calculates 250 reflections based on the source position within the chosen room shape. The psycho-acoustic modifiers adjust for human auditory perception to create unparalleled ambient-space realism to dry instrument or vocal tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoom Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA versatile room algorithm that creates environments ranging from well-tuned studio ambience to larger night club acoustics.
