  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction Congratulations on choosing an Eventide stompbox. For years we’ve dreamed of putting our rack mount effects in the hands of performing musicians and, in particular, at the feet of guitar players. is the latest realization of that dream; bringing true studio-quality audio, massive processing power, world-class effects, and unmatched flexibility to your live sound.

  • Page 6: Overview

    User Guide The Basics Overview The Basics There are a few basic concepts that you’ll have to grasp to use successfully. If you read nothing else, please read this section. The Algorithms offers a wide range of reverb-type effects and comes loaded with 100 Preset effects. These effects are based on twelve unique algorithms.
  • Page 7 User Guide The Basics Using the Encoder to Select Presets Presets can be loaded by simply turning the Encoder and stopping at the Preset that you’d like to use. When the Preset loads, the name of the Algorithm on which the Preset is based is displayed momentarily.
  • Page 8 User Guide The Basics The Middle and Right Footswitches are used to scroll through the Presets. The Middle Footswitch decrements and the Right Footswitch increments. Notice that the Preset Number flashes to indicate that the Preset has not yet been loaded. You must press the Left Footswitch to load the cued preset.

  • Page 9: Connections

    User Guide Connections Connections is designed to be flexible and can support both instrument and line-level inputs and outputs. Rear panel toggle switches allow you to independently select input and output levels. Audio Inputs and Outputs accept standard mono (unbalanced) ¼” phone plugs. can be connected directly to your guitar, behind another pedal, in your Amp’s effects loop or to your mixer’s send/return or insert.

  • Page 10: Typical Setups

    User Guide Connections Typical Setups Here are some suggested ways of connecting to your rig and suggested I/O level switch settings: Guitar > > Amp - Mono In/Mono Out This is the simplest way to connect . Connect your guitar cable to Input 1 and a cable from Output 1 to your amp.
  • Page 11 User Guide Connections Guitar > > Amp1/Amp2 – Mono or Stereo In/Stereo Out Connect your guitar cable to Input 1 and a cable from Output 1 to one amp and a second cable from Output 2 to the other amp. Input Level switch (In Lvl) should be set to GUITAR and Output Level switch (Out Lvl) set to AMP.

  • Page 14: Bypass

    User Guide Setup Bypass It’s important to select the Bypass function that works best with your setup. gives you the choice of Bypass type – DSP Bypass, Relay Bypass or DSP+FX Bypass. ’s default Bypass setting is DSP Bypass. DSP Bypass When set to DSP Bypass, bypassing sends the audio at the DSP’s inputs directly to the outputs without any effects processing.

Press and hold the Left Footswitch, the Preset will now be Active. After holding for 1 second the display will show “O/P LVL 0dB”...

  • Page 17: Algorithms & Presets

    User Guide Algorithms Algorithms & Presets ’s Presets are based on a set of reverb-type audio processing algorithms. An algorithm is the underlying structure of the effect that the Preset is built upon. Please refer to the included Preset Reference Sheet and to our on-line documentation for descriptions of ’s Presets.

  • Page 18: The Algorithms

    User Guide Algorithms The Algorithms ’s 12 Algorithms are the basis for all of its Presets. Each Algorithm employs a unique signal processing structure to achieve its effect and each Algorithm has a unique set of control parameters associated with it. Some of ’s Algorithms are designed to simulate the sound of real-world enclosures and devices like halls and rooms and plates and springs.
  • Page 19 The controls allow for precision tweaking of early reflections, late reverb, and EQ. Room is the workhorse Algorithm for placing a sound in a realistic space or adding that subtle fattening that isn’t immediately noticed but is always immediately missed.

  • Page 21 ModEchoVerb is based on a popular reverb structure from the Eventide H8000 that brought about such presets as "Echo Space of God" and "Glorious Flange Canyon." It feeds the output of an infinite reverb into an infinite feedback delay and slathers on an extra helping of modulation.
  • Page 22 [SMP/HLD] (sample/hold), [ENVELOP], [ADSR], or [EXP PDL] (Expression Pedal) DynaVerb DynaVerb couples an Eventide Eclipse reverb with a model of the Eventide Omnipressor® to create an adaptable dynamics reverb. The Omnipressor is capable of all types of dynamics processing from gating, expansion, compression, limiting, and even its signature "dynamic reversal,"...

  • Page 24: Catchup

    User Guide Catchup Catchup You would expect that when you turn a Parameter Control Knob, the parameter’s value would change instantly and, unless Catchup is enabled, it does. Instant changes, however, may not be desirable for all situations and users. Consider the following example: You have just loaded a preset based on Room and the preset’s value for the Decay is set to 1 second.
