Vintage room
The vintage room reverb effect provides an incredibly natural sounding reverb in the
style of the earliest digital reverberators that became popular during the 1980s. Its
strength is in recreating natural acoustic ambiences with a very warm and dense
characteristic without sounding particularly artificial.
Reflective surface materials and air absorption properties can be simulated by adjusting
the high and low frequency cut amount. Low frequency decay and cross-over
parameters allow relative control over the low band reverb tail length. This can be used
to either simulate real room responses, which often have a longer decay time at low
frequencies or alternatively can be useful to reduce low frequency energy in a live
environment where it may already be present due to the natural reverberation of the
venue. High frequency decay and cross-over parameters provide additional control
over the high band reverb tail length.
12 diffusion control
knob
Increases the density of both the early reflections and
reverb tail, between 0 and 100%.
13 decay control
knob
Adjusts the decay time relative to the room size, from
minimum to maximum.
14 size control knob Specifies the room size (also affects decay), from
small to large.
15 pre delay control
knob
Specifies the time before the reverb begins, between
0ms and 200ms.

2 lf x-over control
knob
Adjusts the cross-over frequency for the low
frequency decay.

right — comprise the output meters.
7 hf cut control
knob
High frequency cut control knob applies a 6dB/Oct
low pass filter to the input signal, in the range 200Hz
to 20kHz.
