THE 1984 HARDWARE CONCEPT
THE PAST, REBUILT FOR THE PRESENT
VINTAGE 1984 HARDWARE.

Explore the sound01 / THE SOUND
SPACE WITH INTENTION
Give every track
its own acoustic world.
Dial in the room geometry, then tune the decay tail to fit perfectly in the mix. Independent low/mid decay, treble cutoff, size, and diffusion put total spatial shaping at your fingertips.
Explore Hall, Room, Chamber, Plate, FX, and dual-program modes. There are 83 factory variations and 48 Artist Series presets to choose from.
Meet the controlsDefine the Space
Position instruments front-to-back using predelay, dial in room volume with size, and control reflection density via diffusion.
Sculpt the Character
Inject wet-only Warmth, Bite, and Air for custom tonal saturation, then balance final levels with dedicated Input, Mix, and Output gain.
02 / SPACES
THREE WAYS TO FIND YOUR SPACE
From tight acoustic spaces
to endless digital horizons.
Select an algorithm built for your instrument, then shape its early reflections, tail, and crossover in real time.
Keep it close.
Give drums and rhythmic parts depth while keeping their movement clear.
Let it bloom.
Add a smooth, expressive tail to guitars, leads and melodic phrases.
Open it up.
Place a vocal or full arrangement in a larger, more dramatic space.
03 / THE INTERFACE
DIRECT BY DESIGN
Instant space.
Zero menu diving.
The single-view Neon interface puts every essential parameter right in front of you, including decay times, room geometry and wet-signal EQ. Pick a program, turn the knobs, and dial in the perfect reverb in seconds.
01 / SELECTPick your algorithm
Choose a Hall, Room, Chamber, Plate, or FX space from the drop-down menu, then load a factory variation or Artist Series preset.
02 / SHAPETweak on a single screen
Adjust split decay, predelay, diffusion, and room size with dedicated high-contrast rotary controls. No tab switching required.
03 / SAVEStore custom spaces
Save your dialed-in settings into your user preset library for instant recall across projects and sessions.
04 / ADVANCED SOUND
BEYOND THE MAIN PANEL
Go deeper into
the signal path.
Advanced adds stereo width, four-output routing and six sound options. Start with the defaults, change one option at a time, and compare at the same input level.
The modeled path
Models analog input and output filters, gain ranging and converter timing. Switch it off to compare a more direct path.
Calculation choice
Uses the enhanced DSP calculation. Compare it with the lower-precision reference path while the tail continues.
Hall and room texture
Adjusts four identified Hall and Room diffusion cells. Its effect depends on the selected program.
Stepped input
Keeps the modeled converter's stepped input values; it matters when High Precision is on.
Earlier filter tone
Blends an earlier-style filter character into the analog model. Analog Circuits must be on.
Blend alignment
Filters and delays the dry signal toward the modeled wet path when the mix sits between fully dry and fully wet.
05 / IN THE MIX
CONTROL THE SPACE
Place it.
Move it. Mix it.
Keep the source upfront
Raise predelay so a vocal or lead stays clear before the tail opens. Keep early echoes quiet unless you want a distinct repeat.
Add measured motion
Enable Space Motion, then increase Chorus gently on pads or sustained notes. Fine left and right timing can widen the early reflections.
Set the right blend
Start around 20% to 35% wet on an insert. For an auxiliary return, use 100% wet and control the amount with the send.
