Vi5000/7000 User Manual 17.2.1: REVERBS
LEXICON FX > REVERBS
Room Reverb
Stereo
Room produces an excellent simulation of a very small room which is useful for dialogue and speech applications.
Room is also practical when used judiciously for fattening up high energy signals like electric guitar amp recordings.
Plate Reverbs
Ambience Reverb
Stereo
Ambience is used to simulate the effect of a small or medium sized room without noticeable decay. It is often used for
voice, guitar or percussion.
Spring Reverb
Mono In/Stereo Out
A Spring reverb is created by a pair of piezoelectric crystals—one acting as a speaker and the other acting as a micro-
phone—connected by a simple set of springs. The characteristic 'boing' of a spring is an important component of many
classic rock and rockabilly guitar sounds.
Reverse Reverb
Mono In/Stereo Out
Reverse reverb works in the opposite fashion from normal reverb. Whereas a normal reverb has the loudest series of
reflections heard first that then become quieter over time, the Reverse reverb has the softest reflections (essentially
the tail of the reverb) heard first, and then grows louder over time until they abruptly cut off.
