Reverb, delay & echo effect pedal
One of the richest and most adaptable reverbs ever conceived, the Alesis Microverb is a digital relic of the late 20th century, on the frontier between yesterday and today. We've painstakingly recreated some of its most memorable sounds, and enhanced them with a few tasteful modern enhancements.
In homage to that era, we've named it "CB Paint". Like the graphics software from which it takes its name, Microverb has democratized studio-quality digital reverb. As digital reverb was still a major investment at the time, Alesis had to make a few concessions to optimize format and price. These concessions translate into interesting reverb reflection filter options, which enhance this classic box without the constraints of integration on a pedalboard. We took the liberty of equipping our CB Paint with six of the original Microverb's most unique patches, as well as the gate and reverse patches, adding a true Mix control, an adjustable low-pass filter and an "onset" control that determines the time it takes for the reverb to appear after the initial input signal.

Technical sheet
- for electric guitar Yes
- Reverb Yes
- Tone: 2-pole low-pass filter to soften high frequencies.
- Mixing: Balance between direct signal and processed signal.
- Onset: Reverb activation delay, from 0 to 200 ms. In gate mode, Onset controls gate duration. In reverse mode, Onset controls the degree of reverberation for better integration into the mix.
- Mode: Selects from 8 Microverb reverb patches:
- Patches 1 to 6: Original Microverb patches, with filtering and processing methods intact, Decay time increasing from 1 to 6.
- Patch 7: Original Microverb gate mode.
- Patch 8: Microverb reverse reverb patch. Instead of reading the signal in reverse, Microverb uses calculations to invert the signal by reducing the reflective properties of the reverb state. The result is Microverb's characteristic "shattering" sound.
