COIL REVERBERATOR
"be vigilant, for the snake hides in the shadows, always plotting to do harm"
From subtle amp-like spring reverb to a full-on fuzzed-out oscillating reverb-saturated wall of noise - Coil does it all.
Running reverb before distortion can create a unique, dreamy, and often more atmospeheric sound. It can subtley smear and modulate the reverb decay, resulting in a heavy, melancholic, yet pleasant sound, often associated with the shoegaze sound.
The drive circuit (bite knob) can go from clean to full-on distortion/fuzz. It is a unique circuit but is similar to old reel-to-reel and console preamps that retain low end when overdriving and clip/compress in a unique and pleasant way without the use of clipping diodes often found in traditional drive pedals.
The "infinity" (snake eating itself) knob blends in the reverb signal from the output back into the input. This feature adds subtle sustain and movement to the reverb decay at low settings and when cranked will self-oscillate like an analog delay pedal!
The kill dry footswitch cuts your dry guitar signal so only the reverb path is present. This gives you the ability to achieve massive atmospeheric and ambient sounds. You can also use it to run a wet/dry rig where the Coil is your wet path effect. The drive effects both the wet and dry signals so you can stil drive the reverb even when the dry is cut.
The amp knob is a master volume to keep everything under control. The freq knob is a powerful master tone control that can go from dark brooding to bright shimmering reverberation.
