Overview
Basic overview and features of the New Revelation Reverb
Description
Introducing the New & Enhanced Revelation Reverb.
The Revelation Reverb is engineered with six studio-grade algorithms, six onboard presets (127 with MIDI), full MIDI control over every knob, switch, algorithm, preset, etc. Additionally, it features a live mode, preset mode, kill-dry mode and full stereo analog dry thru.
We've added 3 brand new algorithms Spring, Room, and Plate, enhanced our existing algorithms, added pre delay, and a filter knob for creating darker reverbs.

Algorithms
The New Revelation has 6 studio grade algorithms to choose from. Below details the sounds for each algorithm.
Spring Reverb
Cntrl1 is adjusts the amount of dwell. A dwell knob can be found on your favorite early 60’s Fender reverb tanks, this control adds more signal that hits the front end of the reverb tank. Fully counter-clockwise will have less “drip” and will sound more like a reverb in a combo amp. As its rotated clockwise, the reverb will begin to have more “drip” and the initial sound will be more explosive.
Room Reverb
Cntrl 1 knob adjusts the size of the room. Fully counter-clockwise will have shorter trials and a less complex sound. As its rotated clockwise, the trails become longer and the reverb is more complex as more reflections would be bouncing off the walls in a larger space.
Plate Reverb
Plate reverb is a type of reverb that uses a large metal plate to create a spacious, bright, and distinctive sound. You can almost hear the reverb moving across the metal plate as the trails decay off. Cntrl1 adds modulation to the reverb, the rate and depth are fixed values. Think of this control as an overall volume knob for the modulation.
Modulated Reverb
Modulated reverb creates deep lush modulated hall type reverbs. Used to create heavenly pads under your core tone or crank the decay up for out of this world swells. Cntrl1 adds modulation to the reverb, the rate and depth are fixed values. Think of this control as an overall volume knob for the modulation.
Shimmer Reverb
Shimmer reverb creates an upper octave that is feed into the reverb trails creating a warm but bright upper octave used to help create pads that cut through the mix. Cntrl1 is very interactive with the Decay knob and adds the upper octave shimmer to the reverb.
Anti-Shimmer Reverb
Anti-Shimmer adds a lower octave and also a sub-octave simultaneously to the reverb trails. Use judiciously, as you crank up the lower octaves you are entering into a completely different sound spectrum! Note the Mix & Cntrl 1 knobs both work interactively, for best results usually a higher Mix will result in lower Cntrl1 settings.
