Alexander, Golden summer

Description

The Golden Summer is Alexander’s take on reverb with a decidedly ambient slant. The basic reverb tone is that of a large chamber or hall, with a lush decay and fully adjustable pre-delay. The user can create enormous soundscapes with only these two controls, but adding in the Tweak control takes the possibilities to the next level. Add in the soft-touch bypass switching with user selectable reverb “trails” and you have an ambient powerhouse.

The Tweak control has a completely different function in each reverb mode: In Mod mode it adjusts the modulation on the reverb trails from a fast flutter to a slow wash. In Shimmer mode the Tweak produces a classic ambient effect with the addition of an octave up or down to the reverb trails. Finally, in Echo mode this control allows the user to dial in either dark analog delay tones or bright digital repeats.
