Kuassa Efektor RV 3604 Reverb User manual

R e v e r b

Thank you for choosing Kuassa products!
We encourage you to take the time to read this User Manual thoroughly
to ensure trouble free and proper operation of the software.
The most commonly used effect. Found on small practice amps to big
touring amps. Also on stompbox pedals to large studio rack units. It’s
usage is somewhat tricky, but it could be the fine border of a professional
recording and a beginner’s work. Reverb is a powerful tool to add
depth, distance, and also to build emotion to the listener. It gives
ambience, creates space, and produces a sense of three dimensional
to the original sound.
Taken the algorithms from the sounds of natural spaces to artificially
created electrical and mechanicall devices, Kuassa Efektor RV3604
Reverb provides five types of Reverb to enhance your recordings.
