you
hi there I'm Eric Heinz the amp guy from Fender I'm Stan Cody a product designer
at fender and we're talking about the marine layer reverb pedal it's an
amazing pedal that is totally unique was designed from scratch and Stan's gonna
walk us through all the amazing features it has this is a digital pedal it's got
three different sets of algorithms and there's a couple of variations of each
that are quite a few sounds in it it's got a really simple user interface so
it's kind of a one knob per function there's no layers to it there's nothing
to kind of dive through so like what you see is what you get kind of deal it's
got a couple cool unique features the bypass is a mixed bypass so whatever's
actually in the reverb will decay naturally when you bypass the pedal
which is kind of fun we'll show you that little later the pedal has three
different sets of algorithms so we'll go through all of them each of the
algorithms has two variations so there are six in total we'll start with the
hall so let's listen to the shorter smaller hall so good short splashy room
good good for within playing I'll flip over to the larger Hall
and now's a good time to talk about some of the controls so of course with the
reverb we'd have a reverb time control so on this larger Hall I'll go from the
short setting to the longest setting
there's also a damping control that affects how the reverb decays so if it
decays if it keeps its high frequencies as it fades out or if they go away first
so here's with no damping
and then I'll set the damping all the way down so you can hear it kind of get
darker as it fades out so let's look at the rooms there are two different room
algorithms rooms are a little simpler than halls acoustically so here's the
first variation of the room program in a much shorter space here's the second
variation of that almost has like a concrete garage kind of feel or
something then you get to the special programs there are two special programs
one of them is a like a shimmer type reverb or it has octave components that
come in so in the reverb time can affect that as well
and the second one is a cathedral space that's heavily modulated so the
cathedral thing is really fun for rolling chords into like with your
volume control
so good for ambient washes watch what happens when I turn the pedal off now if
Rick plays something so that decay happens naturally it's also got a filter
switch built into it and what that does is warm up all of the reverbs and along
with that it's got a pre delay control and what pre delay does is it inserts a
short delay before the actual wet portion of the reverb happens what's
really useful about it is you can kind of create a little separation between
your playing and the actual reverb signal itself so it helps sometimes deal
with mud so Rick will play and I'll just turn that control you can hear it you
can hear the reverb gets a little more prominent as that control gets up and
that's because it gets separated from the note more so it hangs out in space
more by itself it's got some really cool player centric features so there's this
awesome magnetic battery door that makes battery change is really simple and fast
we didn't want you have to take the pedal apart in order to change a battery
it has LEDs and light pipes with the knobs so you can see these illuminated
dots so even when the stage lighting is black you can not only see where the
pedal is but you can see where the controls are set to and there's a switch
that you can turn that off if you don't want it on and then lastly we set the
jacks up so that they're offset so you can put pedals a little closer together
and the cables don't get in the way of each other so for this video we want to
make sure that you could hear exactly what the pedal is doing I've got a blues
jr. stands got a 68 custom Princeton and any of the reverb sounds you're hearing
or directly from the pedal it goes guitar cable pedal into the amp thanks
