Reverb
Reverb can be thought of as a great number of distinct echoes, called reflections,
that occur so fast that our ear hears them blurred together as one. In nature,
different sized spaces give distinctly different sounding reverbs, depending on
the size and shape of the space, and the texture of surfaces that the reflections
bounce off of. The various parameters in the effects processor make it possible to
simulate nearly any natural reverberant space that can be imagined, and a few
artificial ones as well.

The Reverb function is used to edit Reverb parameters. In all
configurations, page 1 of the Reverb function selects what the reverb is
“hearing” (i.e., where the input of the reverb is coming from). The source
can come directly from the Effect bus, the output of other effects in the
chain before it, or a mix of several of them. Example: In Configuration #1,
page 1 of the Reverb function (shown above) allows you to select either
one or two sources to be routed to the reverb’s input. You can choose
from the Delay output, the Delay input, the Pitch output and the
uneffected send input (dry signal). You can then adjust a balance
between these and set an overall input level.
Input 1
In configurations 1, 3, 4, and 5, there are two inputs to the
Reverb. Both Inputs 1 and 2 can select a signal from several
locations in the signal chain. Quad Knob [1] can select either the
Pitch output or the Delay output as Input 1. If the signal is taken
from the Pitch output, the Reverb will be chorused, flanged,
detuned or resonating, depending upon which Pitch type is
selected. (Note that the delay signal may already have passed
through the Pitch module, depending on the Input settings of
the Delay module.)
Input 2
By using Quad Knob [2], Input 2 can have as its source either the
Pitch output, the Delay output, or the dry effect send signal. If
the signal is taken from the Delay output, the Reverb will be
delayed by the amount of delay time set for the Delay. If the
signal is taken from the Pitch output, the Reverb will be
chorused, flanged, detuned or resonating, depending upon
