Chapter 1 - OVERVIEW
In this new design, we've stayed true to the concept of the original pedal but
pushed its potential to the limit, and at the same time addressed its weaknesses.
New features include presets capability and 3 new atmospheric reverb modes.
The overall reverb algorithms have also been redesigned and improved to allow
very long decay time, while mantaining excellent definition and clarity.
Specular Reverb V2 offers one normal reverb mode plus six atmospheric re-
verb modes. Each one of the six atmospheres has the same 'basic character' as
the normal reverb sound, while adding its own unique twists. This is the core con-
cept of the pedal : one great sounding reverb and the ability to add unique atmos-
pheres to it.

Operation of the footswitches have been carefully designed to keep things as simple and intuitive as possible.

Green : Primary atmosphere set (Modulated, Shimmer, Echo) Red : Secondary atmosphere set (Tremble, Voices, Infinity) Each atmosphere set has its own preset space : so you have 4 available presets when using the primary atmophere set, and another 4 presets when using the secondary atmosphere set.

- Page 6 Chapter 3 - The Algorithms Normal Reverb This is the ‘mother’ reverb whose basic character is shared by all modes in this pedal. The design is influenced more by psychoacoustic principles rather than geometric representation (room, hall, chamber, etc.). In general, we thrived for a reverb that sounds good over the whole span of Decay settings, this yields a ver- satile reverb that can be used to achieve anything from subtle ambience, medium sized room, all the way to very large majestic spaces with seemingly endless re-...
- Page 7 The Algorithms Shimmer adds regenerative octave components onto the reverberation. The harmonized decay emulates the presence of multiple strings pads accompanying your instru- ment. Used together with a volume pedal this atmospheric mode can work magic! Blend Decay Damping Intensity controls shimmer intensity standard reverb control Echo...
- Page 8 The Algorithms Tremble adds amplitude modulation (tremolo) to the reverb. Only the reverberated signal is affected, while the direct signal remains intact. The result is a very interesting pulsating ambience that injects rhythm to the standard reverb sound. Blend Decay Damping Intensity controls tremolo intensity...

Page 9: The Algorithms
The Algorithms Infinity This mode allows you to capture a brief snapshot of the sound you are playing, and hold it indefinitely, then you can play over it (with reverberation). Later on, you can fade out the sustained sound, and immediately fade in a new one. Here’s how you do it : 1. - Page 10 Chapter 4 - Auto Intensity Sweep This feature is applicable only to Modulated, Shimmer, Echo, Tremble, and Voices. When you activate this feature the pedal automatically sweeps the parameter controlled by the Intensity knob to the maximum value, hold it there, and sweeps it back to the previously set value - It’s like having someone turns the Intensity knob while you’re playing.
- Page 11 Try this out : Activate SHIMMER mode. Set the Intensity knob to a low setting (about 9 o’clock). Set Blend, Decay, and Damping as desired. Start playing, a low level shimmer effect will be heard on top of the reverbera- tion.
