TC Electronic Arena Reverb Pedal

Description

The Arena Reverb from TC Electronic is a pedal that provides a panoply of ambiance choices such as room, hall, spring, church, and more. Intended for use with electric guitars, the pedal sports I/O configurations for both mono and stereo functions; should you want a stereo reverb at the end of your chain to plug into different amplifiers (or interfaces), this pedal is up to the task.

A Decay knob gives you control over how long you'd like the reverb to stick around, while an FX Level knob serves as a mix control, allowing you to blend reverberated signal to taste. Reverb can be further manipulated by a Pre-Delay switch—allowing some tonal distance between your dry signal and the resulting ambiance—and a Tone knob, which controls the level of brightness of the affected audio. Lastly, a Reverb Selector knob gives you the choice between ten built-in types of ambiance, as well as algorithms sourced from the included TonePrint app. This app boasts presets custom-tweaked by renowned guitarists, as well as the ability to create brand-new ambiances from scratch.

• Plate: Imitates the bright and diffuse sound of pre-digital metallic plates commonly used for reverb in erstwhile eras
• Church: Provides a highly diffuse reverberation loaded with the sorts of reflections commonly found in sanctuaries (pews, alters, etc.)
• Mod: Modulates the sound of early, digital reverbs with effects such as chorus
• Royal: Modifies the sound of church-type reverb to emulate the characteristics of a cathedral
