WELCOME!
Coming from the depths of the sea, Indigo has come to immerse its
sound! Representative of the depths and immensity of the seas, Indigo
fell in love with Neptune and every night watches him from afar,
bringing his beautiful corners so that he can conquer the blue planet.
The Índigo Reverb V1 was born from the desire to do something
different, it was a project that took long months of development,
challenges and more challenges for its conception. The Indigo Reverb V2
came from the desire to go further, improve what was already great,
and with that we added 2 more reverb modes (totaling 8 reverbs), we
included a preset saving system that allows you to save up to 8 separate
presets in 2 banks and we open the door to the world of MIDI controllers!
We strongly believe that we have created one of the best compact reverb
options for your Board.

EFFECTS
The Decay, Tone and Mix knobs have the same function in all modes, so we'll
only explain the Blue and Blue2 controls for each mode, these do change
from mode to mode. The color of the title of each effect corresponds to the
color of the indication led on the pedal.
SPRING
Blue: Controls the depth of the tremolo.
Blue 2: Controls the speed of the tremolo.
Get a faithful simulation of the classic spring reverb found on vintage amps
with a tremolo.
HALL
Blue: Controls pre-delay (10ms/100ms)
Blue 2: Controls the high frequency response.
Offers a simulation of reverberation in large halls, get short to large tails of
reverb with it.
PLATE
Blue: Controls pre-delay (10ms/100ms)
Blue 2: Controls the high frequency response.
Get a faithful simulation of old-fashioned metal plate reverb, with short to
long reverb tails.
MODULATION
Blue:Controls the depth.
Blue 2: Controls the speed.
Reverb powered with a Chorus.
ROOM
Blue:Controls the pre-delay (10ms/100ms).
Blue 2: Controls high frequency damping.
Offers a simulation of reverberation in small rooms.
LO-FI
Blue:Controls the sampling rate.
Blue 2: Controls the blend between clean and signal with sampling rate.
Reverb with adjustment of the signal sampling rate.
SHIMMER
Blue:Controls octave feedback.
Blue 2: Controls the volume of octaves.
Reverb powered and fed back with a high octave.
DIVE
Blue:Controls the volume of octaves.
Blue 2: Controls the volume of farms.
Reverb powered with a low octave and just low fifth.

CONTROLS
Decay: Controls the decay length of the reverb. Indigo offers a range of reverb
sizes, from a short reverb to a hyper deep reverb.
Blue: Specific control for each reverb mode.
Blue 2: Specific control for each reverb mode.
Tone: Controls the damping of low frequencies in the tail of the reverb.
Mix: Controls the volume of the reverb signal.
Footswitch Bypass: Switch the footswitch on/off via the relay's true bypass
system.
Footswitch Preset: Change/Save Presets.
PRESETS
Save Preset
1. Set all controls to the desired setting (after entering the mode below,
changes made to the knobs will no longer be recognized)
2. Hold down the preset footswitch until the preset led starts flashing.
3. Press Bypass to change the bank, if necessary (indicated by the bypass
led).
4. Press the footswitch preset to change the location where the new
setting will be saved.
5. Press Bypass for more than 1 second and the setting will be saved.
Access Preset
1. Press Preset to load and to switch presets.
2. Press Bypass + Preset to change the bank, if necessary (indicated by
the bypass led).
MIDI
Our pedals are prepared to be controlled by MIDI protocol on channel 1 to
channel 4 (check the operation guide to learn how to change the MIDI
channel), so you can access presets, save new presets and even control
individual parameters of your pedals via a MIDI controller. Below are
instructions on how to communicate with the pedal.
Our system does not use the standard MIDI interface, as there is no
optocoupler on the input, but this system is used in several pedals in this
industry. You will need a MIDI converter or controller with TRS P10 outputs
to use MIDI on our pedals. Below is the pinout to be followed:

VTR EFFECTS –INDIGO REVERB V2 Page 3
Access Presets
Send a Program Change message with the preset number you want to access
(Example: Preset 1 = 10; Preset 2 = 20).
Save Presets
Hold the footswitch Bypass and send a Program Change message with the
preset number you want to save, the pedal will save the current setting in
the desired location (12 slots available).
Control Parameters
Send a Continuous Controller message according to the information below:
CC #1 - Effect ON/OFF (Value 127 = ON / Value 0 = OFF)
CC #2 - Reverb Modes:
•Value 1 = Spring;
•Value 2 = Hall;
•Value 3 = Plate;
•Value 4 = Modulation;
•Value 5 = Room;
•Value 6 = Lo-Fi;
•Value 7 = Shimmer;
•Value 8 = Dive.
CC #3 - Mix (Send a value from 0 to 127).
CC #4 - Blue (Submit a value from 0 to 127).
CC #5 - Blue2 (Submit a value from 0 to 127).
CC #6 - Decay (Send a value from 0 to 127).
CC #7 - Tone (Send a value from 0 to 127).
OPERATION
TrueBypass or TailsBypass: When turning on the pedal power, the bypass led
will flash green to indicate true bypass and red to indicate Tails bypass, to
change the bypass type, hold the bypass switch while turning on the power on
the pedal.
Intelligent Bypass: The Indigo is equipped with an intelligent bypass system,
which will recognize the time of pressing the footswitch and automatically
activate the momentary bypass function. Therefore, pressing the footswitch
quickly will do the normal function of reversing the bypass state, pressing and
holding the footswitch for more than 500ms when releasing the bypass will
return to the state before it was pressed, performing the momentary bypass
function.
Change Reverb Mode: Press both footswitches at the same time.
Change MIDI channel: When turning on the pedal power, keep the preset
footswitch pressed and the Preset LED will light up, turn the Time knob and the
LED color will change, thus indicating the channel change, as follows: Blue:
Channel 1; Green: Channel 2; Red: Channel 3; White: Channel 4.

preset bank is selected. Green: Bank 1; Red: Bank 2.
Preset LED: Its color indicates which preset is selected along with the bypass
led color. Blue Preset 1; Red Preset 2; Green Preset 3; White Preset 4.
