Wampler FAUX Spring REVERB Quick Start Manual

FAUX
REVERB
To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. The Mini Faux Spring Reverb features
an accessible control setup, with three straightforward knobs that work together to allow you to dial in precisely your sort of reverb
tone: Volume, Tone, and Depth. The Mini Faux Spring Reverb features an all-analog dry signal path, so your base signal remains
completely una ected. As with all Wampler Pedals products, the Faux Spring Reverb includes high-quality true-bypass switching
which takes it completely out of the signal path when bypassed. Experiment and enjoy!
Bypass Switch – A true-bypass footswitch ensures solid, mechanical removal of the circuit when it isn't wanted, meaning you don't
lose any tone when the pedal is o .
Volume – This control adjusts the amount of wet signal present. Sometimes you want a subtle, gentle undertone of reverb;
sometimes you want a brash, wet, springy goodness. The pedal works best going into your amp, and it is very important to consid-
er that as you raise the gain on your amp, especially if it begins to overdrive/distort, the sound of the reverb will raise dramatically
because of the natural compression introduced by amp drive. To keep the amount of reverb where you want it, make sure you
adjust the Level control carefully when you're at your desired amp volume. Using pedals in front of the Faux Spring Reverb does
not require this adjustment, because they are playing into the simulated spring reverb sound. It's only if the Faux Spring Reverb's
signal goes into something that creates overdrive or distortion that you need to be careful in adjusting the Level control to ensure
that you don't get more reverb than you intended. This knob, used in conjunction with the Tone and Depth knobs, also allows you
to dial in a really interesting undertone to the general sound, which you can play over for a lot of texture. I'll make sure to include a
preset that demonstrates that usage.
It's back! Smaller, more powerful and sounding better than ever!
The Mini Faux Spring Reverb o ers the most authentic spring reverb sound you will
ever nd. With literally months and months in reseach and development, we took the
original FSR and made it tonally bigger, better and physically smaller.
Utilizing the latest and most powerful processing units we have recreated a Wampler
classic with a much bigger reverb trail, a purer tone and more depth than we could
have ever thought possible.
Many people GAS for every kind of reverb possible, they want "in nite inverse
cathedral martian creater shimmer "and some just want a great reverb like we used to
nd in those glorious amps from the golden era of American tube ampli ers. If your
desire is for a reverb to set and sit, or need the minimal amount of tweaking, then the
MiniFSR is the pedal for you. You just won't nd a better reproduction of THAT classic
wet and springy tank sound.
