Effect Engine Selector Encoder
This is the reverb engine selector. It determines the overall engine and sets the function of the
CONTROL knobs and OPTION footswitch.
Effect Engine Selector LEDs
The REVERB ENGINE LEDS that encircle the ENGINE SELECTOR indicate which engine is currently active.
This works for the first 12 effect engines. If a user has activated one of the extended engines then
none of these REVERB ENGINE LEDS will be lit. If the Reverb Selector toggle switch is set to A+B, both
of the selected engine LEDs will illuminate. If reverbs A and B are both programmed with the same
reverb engine and the Reverb Selector is set to A + B, the appropriate single LED will illuminate with a
double blinking pattern.
It is possible, using the Neuro App, to replace one of the default engines on the engine selector
wheel with another engine. If the user has done this, the corresponding LED will blink to show that
the engine does not match the name written in ink on the face of the Ventris. This is also true in A + B
mode.
A/B Reverb Toggle Switch
The Ventris Dual Reverb features two completely independent 56-bit signal processors. The two
processors give the Ventris the ability to simultaneously save two reverb sounds in each of the
pedal’s 8 onboard or 128 MIDI accessible presets. The A/B Reverb Toggle Switch provides easy access
to each of the individual Reverbs (A or B) as well as a combination of the two (A+B).
Selecting positions A or B enables the reverb effect that was programmed to the corresponding
toggle position. Selecting position A+B enables both reverbs simultaneously. By default the A+B
toggle position will run the reverbs in parallel and mix them together (in stereo) to the Outputs. It is
also possible to run the reverbs in Cascade Mode, one into the other. To cascade the reverb engines,
first flip the toggle switch to either the A or B position, hold down the CONTROL INPUT button (at the
top of the pedal), and switch the toggle back to the A + B position – now Reverb A will cascade into
Reverb B. To switch back to Parallel mode, repeat the process WITHOUT holding down the CONTROL
INPUT button.
When the A+B toggle position has been selected certain knob functions are altered. When running
the reverbs in Parallel Mode, CONTROL 1 sets the wet level of Reverb A, CONTROL 2 sets the wet
level of Reverb B, and MIX sets the level of the dry signal. When running the reverbs in Series Mode,
CONTROL 1 sets the wet/dry mix of Reverb A, CONTROL 2 sets the wet/dry mix of Reverb B, and MIX
sets the level of the dry signal. See the Editing and Saving Dual Engine Presets section for complete
instructions on dual reverb presets.
Any of the three toggle switch positions can be individually assigned as the initially engage position
for each of the 128 presets. Note: if the A+B toggle position is used during preset switching (in either
the former or later preset), the Spillover function is not available.
On/Off Footswitch
Enables or bypasses the reverb effect. By default the Ventris uses a True/Hard Bypass Mode, but it is
also possible to switch to a Buffered Bypass (see the Universal Bypass section for more information)
or Trails Mode Bypass (see the Trails Mode section).
