The Context is a reverb pedal inspired by 1980’s rack
reverbs. It has 8 algorithms, including room, hall, cathedral,
gated reverb, reverse reverb, plate, spring, and a granular
reverb. Each algorithm features separate high and low frequency
damping controls, pre-delay, modulation, dynamics (duck/expand),
and infinite hold. In addition, delay is always available, along
with tremolo in spring mode. The modulation knob changes the
a and character of the internal reverb modulation, specific
to each algorithm. It gives you a mix of different modulation
types from 1980’s and early 90’s reverbs, including chorus
modulation, random modulation that keeps the pitch stable, and
deep modulated reverbs. Holding down the shift button adjusts the
modulation rate. Reverse reverb fades in louder and brighter over
time, giving the impression of playing backwards. Modulation adds
a wash of normal reverb. The spring reverb was designed using the
techniques and algorithms that were used in 1980’s reverbs, but
with enough DSP power to drip and feel like a spring tank. You
can adjust the length of the decay, high and low frequency
damping. The modulation is tremolo with adjustable intensity and
speed. Grain mode is a granular reverb inspired by the Ursa Major
SST-282 Space Station. The SST-282 was released in 1978 and used
multiple delay taps with modulation to create reverb effects. The
Context can create ghostly reverb effects, slowly sweeping
resonances, and at higher modulation settings is a multi-voice
granular processor that creates clouds of detuned sound fragments
for entirely new reverb sounds. When the shift button is held
down, the top row of knobs adjust delay parameters. The low and
high damping knobs adjust dynamics for ducking reverb or an
expander for more reverb on louder notes, with adjustable
threshold and recovery time. Holding down the foot switches gives
you two different types of infinite sustain. One preset available
on the left footswitch, 4 using a remote footswitch, and 127 via
MIDI. The expression pedal can be assigned to any combination of
parameters. We also have a web-based editor for tweaking and
managing your presets. Algorithms ROOM - fast buildup, good for
thickening sounds HALL - slower buildup with longer initial delay

reverb with non-linear decay REV(erse) - reverse reverb PLATE -
bright, dense studio plate reverb SPRING - spring reverb GRAIN -
granular reverb Controls BLEND - wet/dry blend (to 100% wet) PRE

FDBK - delay feedback v-o-^ - dynamics ducking/off/expander and

Designed and assembled in USA. The Context 2 requires a 9 V 250
mA center negative power supply (not included). New in version 2
The Room, Hall, Cathedral, Gated, and Plate reverb algorithms are
updated versions of the Context version 1 reverbs, but now delay
is available in all modes. They also have separate low and high
damping controls with more range, modulation, dynamics, and
infinite hold. The update also adds stereo input/output, TRS and
USB MIDI, fully assignable expression pedal._Current Stock: SKU:
