AMBIENCE
From deep sub-octave foundation layers to soaring super-octave shimmers, the Liquid Ambience seamlessly blends in beautiful lustre underneath your tone, ghosting your every move.
The Liquid Ambience brings two complex DSP concepts together in one elegant solution...Polyphonic Octave Generation and Hall Reverb. The strum-friendly polyphonic algorithm ensures tracking issues are a thing of the past, and seamlessly translates the entire input spectrum up and down the frequency scale.
VOICES
The Voice control blends between sub-octave and super-octave or alternatively blends between sub-fifth and super-fifth.
An additional 'Bend' mode gives you a slightly detuned note instead, either up or down in frequency from your input, adding thickness to your tone. Adding recirculation to this produces a smooth continuous bend (see Evolve control). Setting Voice to 12 o’clock (pitch neutral) turns the Liquid Ambience into solely an atmospheric reverb.
REVERB
The reverb section provides luscious and spacious Hall-type reverberation optimized for natural low-frequency and high-frequency damping. The Space knob controls the effective ‘size’ of the space, shaping the ambient density, tonal smear and rise & fall dynamics. In Octaves and Fifths modes some dry is also sent to the reverb to increase the ambient character.
MIX
The Mix control adjusts the wet level from zero to the same level as the dry signal. Alternatively, an internal switch re-configures this control to balance wet & dry so that you can dial dry right out if you want. Note that the dry feed is a pure analog copy of the input to preserve the purity of the input and its valuable tone.
DRY LOOP
For versatility, the dry path that feeds into the final mix can be interrupted and looped through an external effect or effect chain, for example a tremolo. Alternatively the SEND can be used on its own as a dry feed to a second chain if desired. Also the RETURN can be used on its own to replace the dry feed to the mix control should you ever want to.
EVOLVE
The unique Evolve control adds a dynamic effect to your playing by recirculating a portion of the output back through for re-voicing. For super-octaves and super-fifths the sounds bloom up the frequency spectrum giving a shimmery kind of sound, smoothly smearing octaves on octaves (synthy sound) or fifths on fifths (‘crystals’). For sub-octaves and sub-fifths the sounds collapse or ‘melt’ down the frequency spectrum giving a deep gutsy decay trail to each note played. In Bend mode evolve takes your detuned note and turns it into a continuous bend up or down as it smoothly and continuously detunes.
MORE
The More switch is there to give you more! Everyone wants more right? While held down, this switch takes Evolve to the extreme, dragging it 50% beyond maximum! This provides three great features… (1) Much more evolve (2) This can be used to manually control evolve start/stop when Evolve knob is set to zero (3) With Space set to max and Voice in Bend mode this switch will slowly induce runaway and create an intense and wild sonic wash eventually saturating and breaking up into Geiger-Müller territory!
BYPASSING
The Liquid Ambience is true-bypassed using high-quality latching signal relays to preserve signal chain integrity, but can be reconfigured via an internal switch to provide buffered bypass with trails for natural reverb decay when the effect is deactivated, should you prefer.
PREMIUM COMPONENTRY
Precision BiFET op-amps are used throughout for their super low-noise JFET inputs and high output drive capability, film capacitors preserve input tone, Alps pots ensure smooth and clean parameter control.
FINISHING
The Liquid Ambience, designed with simplistic elegance in mind, distills the very best benefits without unnecessary complexity into one compact unit. Each pedal is hand made, individually tested, and laser-engraved with a unique serial number. The Liquid Ambience comes superbly presented in deluxe packaging and is accompanied by a beautifully illustrated 18-page instruction booklet.
