Working specs :
  

The  reverb setting is all the heads together and with the feedback of the echo you can make the reverb longer. 

You can use the heads seperately or mix them for i.e. triplet echo's. 

There are four trim pots on the rear which allow  a tremendous amount of control over levels and balance: it can take  some time to set up for optimum operation but the results are stunning-  the repeats are really superb in quality when the levels are  correctly-set. There’s no vari-speed, but that’s the case for many  classic echo units.

Also a short description from the manual for the settings on the front :
