The R1 is an extremely powerful and versatile multi-function
reverb that can quickly go from small 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 as
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 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 a 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 a 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 a 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.
