REVERB KNOB
In all modes except GRAIL FLERB and ECHO, the function of the REVERB KNOB is to
control the length of the reverb decay. As you turn the REVERB knob clockwise the reverb
time will increase from a very short decay to an infinite decay at the full clockwise setting.
When the REVERB knob is set to infinite, the reverb will not decay; adding new notes will
make the reverb sound more complex.
PLEASE NOTE: you can enter switch on infinite reverb at any time by pressing and
holding the TAP/INFINITE FSW.
In GRAIL FLERB mode, the REVERB knob sets the rate of modulation for the flanger block.
The REVERB knob will actually have two different sets of ranges. From full counter-
clockwise to approximately 11 o'clock, the knob works in Filter Matrix mode: the LFO is
disconnected from the flanger and the musician has manual control over the flanger's
sweep. You can hold the flanger in one spot indefinitely or modulate by turning the knob.
From 11 o'clock to full clockwise, the REVERB knob controls the flanger's rate of
modulation. Turning the clockwise will increase the modulation rate.
In ECHO mode, the REVERB knob sweeps between discrete echoes (full counter-clockwise
position) and reverberant ones (full clockwise position).
BLEND KNOB
The BLEND knob is a wet/dry control for the effect outputs. Turning the BLEND knob to its
minimum counter-clockwise position will yield 100% dry signal with no wet. Turning the
BLEND knob to its maximum clockwise position will give you 100% wet signal with no dry.
A mix of wet and dry signals will occur when BLEND is set anywhere in between the
extreme settings.
TAP / INFINITE Footswitch
The TAP/INFINITE footswitch performs two functions: tapping in pre-delay time or
switching on infinite reverb by holding the footswitch.
TAP Tempo Function: In all modes, pressing and releasing the TAP/INFINTE
footswitch briefly two or more times sets the pre-delay time
or delay time (in ECHO mode). If the TAP/INFINTE
footswitch is pressed more than two times, the Cathedral
will average out the time between taps.
