Crazy Tube Circuits reveals super smart Mirage Dual Reverb Workstation with two banks of 16 Algorithms and ingenious Routing and Control Options
Crazy Tube Circuits really seems to be on a roll these days - and this is another surefire winner - 2 independent Reverb Circuits with 16 Algorithms Each - and which can be creatively routed - MISO / Full Stereo / Separate Channels / 2 Reverbs in Series.
The two sides have mostly identical control topologies - with further smart switching and routing options via external and internal controls. You can either have the Footswitches independent per channel, or the Left one as a Bypass / Engage for Both, with the Right Footswitch controlling Swell or Excite Parameters per each channel. Further button switchs let you select with Swell or Excite Paramters, and what Footswitch Control Function you want to deploy :
Controls - REVERB 2 } Volume, Outer / Inner Bank Shift Button, Mix, Voice : 1-16 (see below), Swell, Swell / Excite Footswitch Assigne, Excite (variable param), Reverb 2 Footswitch (default), REVERB 1 } Volume, Outer / Inner Bank Shift Button, Mix, Voice : 1-16 (see below), Swell, Swell / Excite Footswitch Assigne, Excite (variable param), Reverb 1 Footswitch (default). UNIVERSAL } Footswitch Mode : IND SW (Separate Channel Switch) / R1 XF (Swell / Exciter).
Internal Controls : Routing : MISO (Mono In Stereo Out) / SOS (Stereo or Series or Separate), Bypass : True / Trails, Kill-Dry : Off/On.
Most of the controls are fairly straightforward and intuitive. While the 16 different algorithms require a little explanation - per the following 2 charts :
This is such a smart hands-on Dual Reverb - where almost everything you need is at your fingertips and you can do so many clever things with this workstation with ultimate ease. It has a great set lf algorithms - albeit no Reverse Mode - which is a miss for me - while everything else here I really like.
Considering the advanced features on offer here - this is a very well priced device @ €325 - of course available direct from the Crazy Tube Circuits Webstore, and from leading international dealers.
