The R1 is an extremely powerful and  versatile multi-function reverb that can quickly go from small intimate  room sounds to massive washes of experimental euphoria with six  customized, studio-quality programs - Spring, Hall, Plate, BFR, RFRCT  (Refract), and Air. Every program can be tuned and tweaked and then  saved to one of nine on-board presets. The R1 boasts a volume swell  effect that can be applied to any program, sustain and latching  momentary features, stereo in and out, MIDI control, and up to nine  on-board presets (128 via MIDI). Players of all styles and genres will  be able to find eternal inspiration with the R1.

Programs

Spring -  The Spring program emulates an excited spring reverb commonly found in  tube amps with loads of transducing drip. Easily go from subtle to  full-on surf rock. Experiment with the decay knob to get more than  average amounts of reverb not found in traditional amp spring reverb  tanks.

X knob adds a warm grit to the reverb decay.

Hall -  The Hall program provides the acoustics of large live sound spaces like  concert halls to arenas. Longer decays and higher X knob settings result  in a massive wash of ambiance. Shorter decay and lower X settings allow  for a more intimate reverb expression.

X knob controls the room's size; smaller at lower settings to larger room sizes as you increase X.

Plate – The Plate program emulates a smooth analog plate reverb with nice even diffusion inspired by famous plates like the EMT 140.

X knob adds in gentle warm grit to the front end of the program simulating driving a hot signal into the plate.

BFR -  BFR is a no holds barred, big, f____, reverb. This is more than a giant  arena reverb. It's a hall-esque reverb with rich and lush decay in a  vast cavern filled with choirs of angels.

X knob controls the amount of diffusion  applied to the multi-tap delays used to form the program. At lower X  settings, you'll hear these delays bouncing around for a more textured  sound. As you increase the X knob, the delays are diffused, creating a  smooth texture, and lifting your riffs and chords into the atmosphere.  See ya.

RFRCT (Refract) - The  RFRCT program allows for lovely, charming, and glitch-like textures  hovering over a largely diffused reverb. The Rate controls on RFRCT  change how often the glitch effects occur while Depth controls the  overall volume of the glitch effect.

X knob is used  to shape the tone of the glitch effect. At zero, the glitch effect will  have a lo-fi, almost tape-like sound to them. Increasing the X knob  brightens these elements with more pristine details.

Air - The  Air program offers a larger diffused reverb with a subtle shimmer but  has a more “crisp” clarity to its decay. Explore slow-building sounds  that don’t get in the way of your playing. Air complements keys and  synths as well.

X knob controls the amount of  the wind and shimmer elements in the Air program. At zero the effect  will be off. Turning clockwise will increase the volume of the air  effect.

Presets

The R1 can save up to nine on-board  presets, and up to 128 are accessible via MIDI. On-board presets are  accessible with the bank switch. Cycle between presets in each bank by  pressing Bypass and tap at the same time. You will see the right LED  change from Red to Green to Blue. Any adjustments made in a preset will  change the tap LED to purple, indicating you have edited the preset. The  R1 employs a powerful reverb engine that allows for the true preset  spill over. When you switch presets, the new preset loads, and the  previous preset is allowed to decay naturally.

Tune

Use the Tune knob to shape the amount of  low and high frequencies in the reverb signal. The X position is unique  to program-specific features listed above.

Tweak

Each program can be fully customized to your taste and playing style with the Tweak knob.

• Rate: Controls the rate of the LFO applied to the wet reverb signal.

• Depth: Controls the Depth of the LFO applied to the reverb signal.

• Pre Delay: Controls how long it takes after you play for the reverb to become audible.

Bypass Modes

The R1 has three different bypass modes.

True Bypass

DSP+True Bypass (trails)

DSP Bypass (trails)

Momentary Functions

Press and hold the SUS/LATCH  (Sustain/Latch) switch to momentarily sustain the current reverb and  continue to play over it through the same reverb algorithm. No dry  signal here! Clicking the SUS/LATCH switch lets you latch the present  reverb decay while you play over it.
