This is a perfect reverb unit for the studio! Low noise, high-headroom, it doesn't get much better. The reverb sounds great in front of the amp or in the effects loop. We couldn't really hear a difference in the tone! Signed by Demeter and comes with the power supply.

Guitar amp and outboard manufacturers Demeter's RVB1 'Reverbulator' is a pedal-format spring reverb, derived from one of their rackmount units — and unlike any other pedal I can think of, it uses real springs rather than an emulation circuit.

The top panel houses only a blue active/bypass LED and a latching footswitch, which sits in a rubber washer to decouple it from the springy goodness inside. The controls and audio I/O are on the front panel. Power (indicated by another LED) is delivered by a 24V DC PSU. A three-way rotary switch selects between a long reverb tail, a short one, or a mix of both. In this last mode, the output of the first spring is split and sent in parallel to the output and to the second spring. The signals are then mixed back together at the output. A 'Phase' button inverts the polarity of the second spring, and an adjacent pot sets the overall output level. The blend knob sets the wet/dry signal ratio, and the last control governs input gain, with a red LED to warn you of clipping.

The balanced mono TRS output jack socket is on the left, with the output on the right. Both operate at line or guitar level, so the RVB1 will happily sit in a pedal-board chain, a guitar-amp effects loop, or a console's aux send/return path.
