The Noise Engineering Batverb in detail
The Batverb from Noise Engineering is a stereo Reverb in pedal design that presents itself as a room simulator, but covers much more than you are used to from reverbs. With just a few controls, the pedal generates a wide range of reverb effects, from delay effects to beautiful, dense reverb tails and dark and dystopian atmospheres. The input and output levels can be set separately, making it easy to integrate the Batverb into the Pedalboard. Typical reverb parameters such as a two-band attenuation equalizer for the reverb tail and a dry/wet control are also available. It gets more special with Doomthis control adds chaotic sub-octaves. Shimmer on the other hand, adds radiant overtones to the effect signal. The ducking function controls the dynamic behavior of the reverb, which is comparable to a gated Reverb. The built-in saturation (grit) can be applied to the pure reverb signal or the entire output. Thanks to the complete MIDI implementation and the possibility of assigning any control to an expression pedal, the effect pedal can be given a complex life of its own, especially in a live context and in combination with a master sequencer. To ensure that a successful setting is not a one-off, there are 16 memory locations that can be called up via MIDI program change.
