This adjusts the tone of the reverb sound. The more you turn the knob to the right (clockwise) of center (standard), the brighter the sound becomes; turn the knob to the left of center to create a sound with greater warmth.

9. TIME Knob

This adjusts the length (time) of the reverb sound.

10. MODE Switch

Selects the reverb effect and pedal mode.

*Immediately after the MODE switch is switched, operating the pedal produces no result.

SPRING:

This simulates the sound of a guitar amp’s built-in spring reverb.

HALL:

This simulates the reverb sound of a larg- er hall.

ROOM:

This simulates the reverb sound of a smaller room.

GATE:

Produces a uniquely distinctive effect in which the reverberation sound is con- densed.
