Specular Reverb V3 preserves the algorithms and sonic qualities of our award winning Specular Reverb V2, while improving its user interfaces and adding a couple of new features. The preset system has been greatly simplified, now you have 7 distinct reverb algorithms that can be saved into any one of the 8 presets locations. Algorithms are selected using a single button and indicated by a multi-colored LED.

Presets: 8 presets, organized in two banks.

Stereo I/O: 2 inputs - 2 outputs.

Expression / Tap-tempo input: accepts a standard expression pedal or Tap-Tempo signal.

Spillover: as the pedal is bypassed, the reverb tail is not abruptly cut off, instead it decays out naturally. The same is true when changing presets (as long as you stay in the same reverb mode).

Auto Intensity Swell: when you engage this feature, the parameter controlled by the Intensity knob is slowly swept to the maximum value, hold it there, and then swept back to the original setting. Used judiciously, this feature can introduce dynamic elements to the soundscape - watch the demo videos to see it in action.

Analog Dry-thru: dry signal is routed through a pure analog path.

Small form-factor: the pedal measures 12 x 6.5 (cm) or 4.7 x 2.5 (inch).
Key Features:
- Pristine reverbs in a compact pedal.
- Fully programmable : 4 x 2 presets.
- Stereo input and output.
- 7 reverb modes : Spatium, Modulated, Shimmer, Echo, Tremble, Voices, Infinity.
- Expression Pedal and Tap-Tempo input.
- Spillover when bypassed.
- Analog dry-thru.
Spatium (LED color : Red)
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 versatile 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 reverb tails.
Spatium
- Blend - moderate
- Decay - moderate
- Tone - low
- Predelay - moderate
Spatium (with acoustic guitar)
- Blend - moderate
- Decay - long
- Tone - moderate
- Predelay - moderate
Modulated (LED color : Green)
adds modulation to the late reverberation. As the Intensity knob is turned clockwise, both depth and intensity increases; approaching the maximum position a weird but beautiful swirling resonance starts to appear.
Modulated
- Blend - moderate
- Decay - moderate
- Damping - moderate
- Intensity - high
Shimmer (LED color : Blue)
adds regenerative octave components onto the reverberation. The harmonized decay emulates the presence of multiple strings pads accompanying your instrument. Used together with a volume pedal this atmospheric mode can work magic!
Shimmer
- Blend - moderate
- Decay - moderate
- Tone - moderate
- Predelay - moderate low
Echo (LED color : Amber)
Echo + Reverb.
Echo Time can be adjusted via Tap-Tempo.
Echo
- Blend - moderate high
- Decay - moderate
- Tone (echo time) - moderate
- Intensity (echo level) - moderate
Tremble (LED color : Violet)
Echo + Reverb.
Echo Time can be adjusted via Tap-Tempo.
Tremble
- Blend - moderate high
- Decay - moderate high
- Tone (tremolo speed) - moderate
- Intensity (tremolo depth) - moderate
Voices (LED color : Cyan)
adds a pitch-shifted secondary voice on top of the late reverberation. There are three interval choices : Unison (no shift), Perfect Fifth (7 semitones), and Octave (12 semitones). The Intensity knob is partitioned into 3 regions, each region represents a distinct voice.
Voices (with auto intensity-swell)
- Blend - moderate high
- Decay - very long
- Damping - moderate
- Intensity - set low, occasionally swept to max with footswitch control.
Infinity (LED color : White)
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. You can also adjust the intensity and tonality of the infinitely-sustained part of the sound independently of the reverb, this gives much flexibility in sculpting the background ambience stage.
Infinity
- Blend - moderate high
- Decay - long
- Tone (freeze high-cut) - moderate
- Tone (freeze high-cut) - moderate
