Noise Engineering has introduced a distinctive stereo reverb with a twist. The parameters of Batverb allow the resulting effects to morph organically from slapback delays to infinite reverb tails with a few quick adjustments.
“Batverb was inspired by our Eurorack module, Desmodus Versio, but when we tried to bring that experience to guitar, we realized quickly that we would need to rethink the approach. The module and Batverb share zero code: the entire thing was redesigned from the ground up, with the dynamics and tonality of guitar at the forefront,” said Stephen McCaul, Chief Noisemaker at Noise Engineering.
Batverb features
- Predelay/delay Time and Regen controls.
- Separate Doom and Shimmer controls add in suboctaves and haunting overtones.
- Low-pass and high-pass filter settings for the reverb tank allow you to add filtering and harmonics to reverb tails.
- Built-in Grit dynamic distortion can apply to only the wet signal or the whole output.
- Includes onboard dry/wet Blend control and input- and output-gain parameters.
- Duck switch controls the reverb’s behavior using your playing to shape the output.
- Three bypass modes allow control of tails when pedal is disengaged.
- Create instant atmospheres with reverb-freezing Hold footswitch.
- Route the expression input can to any parameter on the pedal.
- Store and recall 16 presets in response to MIDI program-change messages.
Designed and built in sunny Southern California, Batverb is currently available for preorder at $499 USD and will start shipping March 13th, 2025.
