If Configuration #2 is selected and you press [EDIT 1] to
advance to effect send 2 while the Reverb function is selected,
the display will look like this:

Quad Knob [1] lets you adjust the level of the signal coming
from effect send 2 going into the Reverb. Send 2 in this
Configuration has no effects of its own. Therefore, there are no
input or input mix controls in this page, since there is only one
possible signal choice. Send 2 is intended to be used for signals
that you want to send to Reverb 1, but bypass Delay and Pitch 1.
In Configuration #2, send 4 is similar to send 2, in that it has no
effects of its own but serves as a bypass going directly to Reverb
3.
Reverb (Page 2)
Pressing the PAGE [] button will advance the display to Page 2 of the
Reverb function. However, you must have the correct effect send
selected (1—4) in order to get at the Reverb parameters (in Config. #1, 3,
4, and 5, the Reverb parameters are found only on effect send 1; in
Config. #2, they are found on sends 1 and 3 since there are two separate
Reverbs). Here you will find parameters for selecting the Reverb type,
adjusting Pre-Delay Time and Pre-Delay Mix.
Reverb Type
The QuadraSynth Plus has seven different reverb types, all
stereo, each of which simulates a different space or produce a
different ambient effect. Use Quad Knob [1] to select one. The
different Reverb types are:
Plate 1 & 2. The two Plate reverb types simulate an artificial
device known as a Plate. In the early days of recording, Plates
were extremely popular because they were almost the only way
to provide any sort of artificial ambiance to a recording. The
sound of a well-tuned Plate has become quite popular over the
years especially when used on vocal or drum sounds. The two
Plate reverbs differ in subtle tonal characteristic changes such as
those found in different manufacturers’ plate reverbs.
Room. The Room reverb type simulates not only rooms of
different sizes, but rooms with different surface materials. A
room with soft surfaces such as carpet will produce a
