Reverb is by far one of the favorite effects of creative guitarists, and many companies are looking for new ways to package this effect in ways that bolster creativity. The JPTR FX Kaleidoscope belongs squarely to this niche.
There are a few unusual things about this pedal:
- the top left knob controls a Gain & Compression circuit placed after the reverb, which can squash your tails prolonging them for an ambient sustain.
- The three smaller knobs on the right control different parameters of the Reverb: Reverb Amount (bottom), Swell Amount (center, which makes the reverb fade in more or less gradually) and Feedback (top, which feeds the reverb signal back into the pedal causing slight modulation and self-oscillation at higher levels).
- Two of the three footswitches have very cool functions (the other one is just an on/off switch). Hold will trigger self-oscillation, while the Dry-Kill will remove the clean signal and only leave you with the effected one.
