The ON/OFF Footswitch also serves a second function. When the effect is engaged, pressing and
holding the ON/OFF footswitch will scroll upward through the user presets. Releasing the switch will
stop the scrolling and engage the preset saved to the illuminated PRESET SELECT LED.
Trails Mode
By default the Ventris is set to Hard Bypass Mode, which means that the reverb trails will stop
immediately upon bypassing the pedal. Trails Mode (also known as “Soft Bypass”) is an optional
bypass mode that allows the reverb trails to fade out naturally after the effect has been bypassed.
Trails mode can be enabled from the Hardware Options menu of the Neuro Mobile App or Desktop
Editor. It is also possible to put the pedal into Trails mode by pressing the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH while
holding the CONTROL INPUT BUTTON. This will toggle between enabling and disabling trails mode and
the setting will be saved automatically. Trails Mode is a global setting and is NOT saved per preset.
On/Off LED
The ON/OFF LED above the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH indicates if the reverb effect is active (lit green) or
bypassed (not lit).
If trails mode is active, the ON/OFF LED will be lit green when the reverb effect is active and lit red
when the reverb effect is bypassed.
Option Footswitch
Because of the range of functions that can be controlled with the OPTION Footswitch, we felt it
necessary to assign different default functions to this footswitch depending on the selected engine.
The switch responds to two actions: quickly tapping or press and hold. Each of the two actions will
prompt a different function. In addition to the default functions, it is also possible to reassign
alternate functions to the footswitch via the Neuro Editors. See the Neuro Sound Editor section for a
list of control choices.
Also, when the Ventris is bypassed the OPTION footswitch doubles as preset scroller. In Bypass Mode,
tapping the OPTION footswitch scrolls upward through the user presets and pressing and holding the
switch scrolls downward through the presets. The matrix below provides a quick overview of the
basic functions of each footswitch in the engaged and bypassed states.
