REVERB MACHINES
ROOM
A versatile room algorithm that creates environments ranging from
well-tuned studio ambience to larger night club acoustics. The Tone knob,
Diffusion and Low End parameters adjust damping and scattering effects.
HALL
Diffused refl ections and slower-building density are the hallmarks of this
beautiful and versatile reverb. The Concert size is well-balanced, spacious
and warm, while the Arena size is huge, enveloping and booming.
PLATE
A rich, fast-building reverb that creates depth without early refl ection cues
to a specifi c environment. Plate reverbs are suitable for any instrument,
vocal or percussion to augment the soundscape.
SPRING
Our 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.
SWELL
The Swell machine brings in the reverb gradually behind the dry signal for
subtle evolving textures, like having a volume pedal on the wet signal. You
can also choose to have the dry signal swelled into the reverb.
BLOOM
A classic '90s style reverb with a slowly building envelope that 'blooms',
resulting in big ambient sounds that sit nicely with the dry signal even at
high mix settings.
GLOBAL SETTINGS
Global settings affect BigSky regardless of what preset is currently active. To access the GLOBAL menu, push and hold the VALUE encoder.
Turn to select the global setting. Push again to edit the selected global setting. Hold again to exit the GLOBAL menu.
BYPASS — Select TRUEBYP to bypass using true bypass relays. Select BUFBYP to
bypass using our high quality analog buffer.
SPLOVR — Allows reverb trails to spill over into the next selected preset.
CLOUD
A gorgeously big, ambient reverb that draws from techniques developed
in the late '70s. Using processing power not dreamed of in those days, the
Cloud machine obscures the distinction between reality and fantasy.
CHORALE
A 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.
SHIMMER
Two 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.
MAGNETO
A classic multi-head echo (three, four or six heads) with all heads
activated. Pre-Delay adds feedback from the last head, while the Diffusion
parameter blurs the line between delay and reverb.
NONLINEAR
A variety of physics-defying reverb shapes are available for special effects
and unique textures. Choose from three 'backwards' shapes, a gate, and
more. A vast array of time-warping possibilities.
REFLECTIONS
A psycho-acoustically accurate small-space reverb that allows you to move
your amp anywhere in the room. Precisely calculates 250 refl ections based
on the source position within the chosen room shape.
NAMES — Set to ON to show the fi rst six characters of the preset name. Set to
SCROLL to scroll the preset name across the display when it is fi rst selected. Set
to OFF to only display bank number.
The full list of GLOBAL settings are detailed in the user manual.
