Maneco Shoegazer12 Reverb Pedal

Manufacturer's description

A high-quality reverb pedal inspired by the classic algorithms of the 1980s Midiverb 1 and 2. The Shoegazer12 is designed to bring vintage digital sound into a modern, guitar-friendly format.

Features

• 12-bit reverb pedal based on iconic algorithms from the Midiverb 1 and 2.
• Perfect for shoegaze, dream pop, and oceanic rock genres.
• Inspired by vintage rack units such as the Midiverb 1, Midiverb 2, SPX90 and FX500.
• Compact and practical for live performances, addressing the issues of bulkiness and bypass limitations found in vintage units.
• Analog signal path with pre-emphasis, low-pass filtering, and compression before digital processing, replicating the signal chain of vintage units.
• Analog modulation and variable global sampling rate for creative effects.
• Expression pedal compatibility for “dive bomb” reverb and delay bends.
• 12-bit resolution adds character with a touch of noise for a lo-fi, vintage feel.

Programs

The pedal features 8 programs, divided into two categories:

• Reverse Reverb (based on Midiverb 1):
• 40 - Reverse Long
• 41 - Reverse Medium
• 42 - Reverse Short
• 43 - Reverse Regen
• Bloom Reverb (based on Midiverb 2):
• 44 - Massive Bloom
• 45 - Classic Bloom
• 46 - Bloom Delay 1
• 47 - Bloom Delay 2

Controls

• Pitch: Controls sampling rate for the whole effect, allowing for smooth pitch shifts and other tricks. Has an associated expression pedal input. 
• Blend: Mixes between direct signal and effected signal, up to 100% with no dry. 
• Soft Focus: Adds a layer of modulation between chorus, phaser and vibe. Active on any of the programs. Works independently from total pitch modulation.
• Program: Selects one of 8 programs, with a silent pause while changing. 
• Tone: Active tone control pre reverb. Flat at centre, boosts bass frequencies at left, high frequencies at high.
• Rate: Speed control for LFO that allows for global pitch modulation.
• Wave: Selects one of eight LFO waveforms.
• Depth: Amount of modulation for pitch/sampling rate.

Footswitches

• Slow: Allows for reducing sampling rate to half, thus creating strange octave effects.
• Tap: LFO tap tempo.
• Freeze: Holds what’s in the memory buffer allowing for INFINITE effects. The exception being bloom program 45 which does not freeze.
• Bypass: Buffered bypass.
