Yeah I'm kind of surprised I haven't heard more about it around here. I'd really love to hear comparisons with the Mk.1.

I definately dont want to sound negative but to be honest i didnt really enjoy the sound of Aeverb. Its not that its all bad,and in the end its all a matter of personal taste i guess.. But i sold mine and bought Erica Black DSP and more happy with that. It (Aeverb) has a very "metallic" and almost "springy" character. Btw I do have 2 other AD modules that i am very happy with

But my best advice is to try it before you buy if you have the opportunity!

Anyone know what the underlying hardware is? I'm pretty burned out on all the PT2933, FV-1, Accusonic, etc. variants out there.

IIRC it was explicitly designed to be similar to the cheap 80s/90s reverbs (Alesis etc) used by Aphex Twin, Autechre and so forth. Big washes of clearly synthetic, noisy reverb, rather than accurate room emulations. So, it's definitely a matter of taste!

A stereo version? That's exciting. I can't wait to hear demos.

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think this uses any reverb/delay chips. I think it's custom DSP code running on something, like their software plugins made physical.

All our 6HP effects are basically the same module; it's an STM32F405 running 32-bit floating point DSP written in C++. We don't use any of those crap bucket brigade delay chips for the sake of "analog purity" or whatever.

This thread is hard to search for becuase of the Æ....

I ordered one of these bad boys last week, just showed up today. I'll try to get a recording up soon so others can hear what it's like

It's already sold out but I couldn't find any sound clips at all. Did I miss something?

Damn, I just bought an Mk1 lol. Still very excited and was very cheap:)

I think ctrl mod had exclusives on the first batch:

That's correct. We only made 50. In the US, Control has them. I also sent two to Detroit Modular, and four to Moog Music Montreal. So that's where you have to go to get them. We ran another hundred units, which will be here in mid-January, because Alex4 wanted them for Europe.

Did anyone ever track down some audio examples of this? Especially curious in light of the other one CR just announced.

TheRosskonian · Post by **TheRosskonian** » Thu Jan 05, 2017 2:46 pm

Still hoping to hear some kind of demo of the new algorithm. Anybody who's picked up MK2 care to comment? Or even better, post a demo?

heres a little video testing the Aeverb Mk2 after arrival:

Can someone share any thoughts on the mkII?

Would love to know if it can go into more dark, metallic, spring type territory.

Switchzik · Post by **Switchzik** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 10:26 am

I'm also interested

I find the demo from Stobbert (thanks!) quite convincing

Just borrowed an mk2 from work as I'm looking to replace my reverb pedal (Old Blood Noise Dark Star, which is fantastic in its own way). I work at a modular retailer and last month or so I've been playing around with the Aeverb, Erica Black DSP (and Pico DSP), 2hp Verb, Erbeverb (probably my top choice at the moment), and less so ZDSP (not a fan of little cards, screens, and menus). I haven't tried the Doepfer, Intellijel, or Befaco spring reverbs, nor the PGH Verbtronic.

Dark - Yes. Turning down the Damp control (basically an LPF), HPF fully CCW, makes it very dark.

Metallic, Springy - Yes. Damp fully CW, raise HPF = cuts off the low end and makes it metallic and springy.

Feedback - Algo 1, Time fully CW, near infinite feedback/self-osc as far as I could tell. Super cool.

I also tried self-patching (mono L input, R output back into R input). Yup. I haven't thought too much about stereo modules thus far in my system but definitely want stereo i/o on my reverb for self-patching and feedback.

Couldn't ask for much more in 6hp. It's very versatile and the built quality is excellent. The knob resolution is great, as I could dial in some subtle changes, lots of sweet spots. And I haven't even tried CV-ing anything.

Finally got around to making a little demo couple of weeks ago. Nothing fancy, hope it's helpful!
