Reverb enhances the tone and natural beauty of
an acoustic guitar, and Fender’s Acoustic Preverb
provides that and more. Featuring three reverb
settings distinctly voiced for acoustic guitar,plus a
high-fidelity preamp, this pedal is the ultimate
ambience machine. A notch filter and polarity
switch help eliminate feedback, while the “tilt”
knob delivers overall EQ balance control .
Designed by our in-house team of experts, the
Acoustic Preverb is an all-original Fender circuit.
The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable
anodized aluminum, and the LED-backlit knobs
easily show your control settings at a glance on
dark stages.
ACOUSTIC PREVERB
DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

Reverb Footswitch/LED
Activates reverb effect; LED illuminates.
Output Jack
Low-impedance output jack connects to amp or to next effect pedal in
signal chain.
Tilt
Adjusts tonal balance from more bass heavy to more treble heavy.
Response is flat when control is centered, and there are more high
frequencies and less low frequencies as the control is rotated clockwise,
and vice-versa.
Type Switch
Selects active reverb algorithm, or sound.
Level
Controls overall output level.
Damping
Controls how fast high frequencies decay in the reverb sound.
Increasing this control will make the reverb tail darker as it fades out.
Time
Controls reverb decay time.
Gain Control/LED
Sets overall pedal sensitivity and allows for a broadrange of instruments
to be used. Peak LED will flicker when unit is close to distorting.
Polarity Switch
Inverts signal polarity (or “phase”), and is sometimes useful in reducing
or eliminating unwanted feedback.

Notch Switch/Control
Switch engages or bypasses notch filter; control knob adjusts notch
frequency. Notch filter can be used to reduce loudest feedback tone;
try sweeping control slowly while instrument is feeding back until
feedback stops.
Input Jack
High-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitars
with pickup systems, keyboards and other instruments.
Mute Footswitch/LED
Mutes audio and is useful when changing instruments or when taking a
break. LED indicates mute status.
LED Kill Switch
Deactivates control-knob illumination.
DC Power Connector
Standard center-negative 9VDC jack for use with appropriate power
supplies.
