Amverb has received a major update
The pedal now runs 16-bit algorithms from the legendary Alesis Midiverb II
Amverb is a stereo reverb pedal, and an emulation of a classic 1980s rack reverb unit, the Alesis Midiverb II.
The original was marketed as a cheaper alternative to the much more expensive offerings from companies like Lexicon and EMS, who just a few years earlier, introduced some of the first digital reverb units to the market.
The original unit ran on a custom, 16-bit, 24Khz digital signal processor. Our pedal recreates the full functionality of the original, translating the original algorithms one processor instruction at a time, into modern computer code.
While the original Midiverb II had 100 Programs, many of them applied simple effects, such as fixed delays which can easily be replicated using the pre-delay functionality on the pedal. We hand-picked the best 64 programs, and organized them into 8 banks of 8 programs each.
The programs go from very short, small room echoes, at just 100 milliseconds long, and gradually extend in length and size up to 15 seconds, with variations at each length, offering different room sizes and reflection brightness.
And we can't forget the "Bloom" programs - arguably the most famous feature of the original. These two unique reverb programs created an unnatural swelling and decay of the sound, which at the time of release, had never been heard before. We made sure to include these programs in our selection.
Features
- 64 original programs from the Alesis Midiverb II
- Accurate, instruction-level emulation of the original unit
- Selectable "Tails" mode, allowing reverb tails to decays naturally when disengaging the effect
- Pre-delay with up to 500ms of delay
- Low- and high shelf EQ for added versatility
- A separate firmware version is available, which emulates the original Alesis Midiverb. This can be installed at no additional cost (See "Downloads" page)

Notice
Due to the relatively low bit-depth architecture of this effect (13 bit input / 16 bit output), this pedal can exhibit minor audio artifacts and hiss when used in front of a non-linear amplifier. For best results, place this effect as far back in the signal chain as possible.
