The Realms of Reverb
The Earthquaker Ledges reverb pedal invites you to explore its three distinct modes, each crafting a unique reverberation ambience:
- Room: Starts as a small, boxy ambience that gets larger as you increase Length control.
- Hall (H): From vast cathedral-style spaces to booming, echoic chambers with distant reflections.
- Plate: Inspired by classic plate reverbs, this setting can deliver enveloping, pad-like textures at high Length settings that are perfect for immersive soundscapes.
Intuitive Interface
Modulate the intensity of your chosen reverb with the Mix dial, while Length lets you shape the reverb’s dimension. The Damping lets you shape the tonal character of the Ledges by gradually muting the high-frequency reflections of your reverb tails. Each of these parameters can be adjusted hands-free by plugging in an expression pedal. Assigning a parameter is easy as putting your expression pedal in the toe-down position, moving the control you want to assign and then moving the expression pedal. Plus, expression pedal assignments are saved on a per-patch basis, letting you mix up how you control the Ledges with ease.
Craft, Save, and Recall
Gone are the days of manual adjustments for every song or sound texture. With Ledges, six dedicated presets await your customisation. Assign your sound, lock it in, and bring it back to life whenever you desire. The centre button acts as your gateway to save and recall your chosen symphony of sounds.
