The Mad Professor Silver Spring Reverb (SSR) is a compact, user-friendly digital/analogue reverb pedal designed to deliver a natural, ambient sound that enhances your tone without overshadowing your original signal. Featuring a pure analogue direct signal path, this pedal produces rich, authentic reverb tones suitable for all styles of playing.

The SSR excels with clean tones but is expertly crafted to handle the demands of distorted sounds, making it versatile for various setups. While it performs brilliantly after distortion, it can also be placed before distortion with a lower wet/dry reverb mix for optimal balance.

Main Features

• Time Control: Adjust the decay time from a short small-room ambience (fully counter-clockwise) to a long, lush plate reverb hall (fully clockwise). Medium setting works perfectly for rhythmic chords and single notes.
• Tone Control: Modify the brightness of the reverb—from a dark, spring reverb style (fully counter-clockwise) to a brighter studio-style reverb (fully clockwise).
• Reverb Mix: Blend the reverb effect with the dry signal, from completely off to fully wet for rich ambient sounds.
• Internal Gain Trim: Fine-tune the output level with boost or cut from unity, ensuring the perfect match with your rig.
• True Bypass: Maintains your tone integrity when the pedal is disengaged.
