• Knob ÌRE: Adjusts the overall output level of the reverb effect. Turning it clockwise increases the reverb signal volume.
• EQ Knob: Controls the tone or equalization of the reverb. This allows you to brighten or darken the reverb sound.
• Cnag DECAY: Determines the length or duration of the reverb tail. Clockwise rotation increases the decay time.
• Seòrsa Knob: Selects one of the seven available reverb algorithms:

  6. Air ais: Produces a reverse reverb effect, where the reverb swells in before the dry signal.
  7. EARRACH: Mimics the sound of a mechanical spring reverb unit, common in guitar ampluchd-losgaidh.
• Ann an Jack: 1/4-inch mono input for connecting your instrument or the output of another effect pedal.
• OUT 1 (MONO) Jack: 1/4-inch output for mono signal connection to an amplifier or the next pedal in the chain.
• OUT 2 Jack: 1/4-inch output for stereo operation. Use both OUT 1 and OUT 2 for a stereo signal.
• tionndadh-coise: Engages or bypasses the reverb effect.

3. Suidhich
