01Overview

Solid State Logic presents FlexVerb as a versatile reverb built around a split early and late reflection interface. Early reflections can take the character of different room sizes, while the late tail can be chosen from several expansive options. A 6-band EQ, high and low pass filters, three-band reverb time multipliers and an input sidechain compressor give you control over how the reverb sits in the mix.

Reverb Architecture and Sound Shaping

FlexVerb uses algorithmic reverb with four types: room, hall, plate and chamber. Because early and late reflection types can be selected independently, you can pair the body of one space with the tail of another.

The 6-band SSL EQ shapes the frequency response of the reverb itself, so you can tame or emphasize specific ranges without adding separate EQ on the return. High and low pass filters and three-band reverb time multipliers add further control over the tail.

Solid State Logic describes the output compressor as a way to help the reverb sit in the mix. A lockable wet/dry control lets you compare presets at matched levels.

Workflow Controls and Creative Effects

The interface is designed around quick, intuitive adjustments. The lockable wet/dry mix is useful when auditioning presets, since it keeps the blend fixed while you change the reverb character.

For more dramatic results, the infinite reverb switch holds the tail indefinitely, and the reverb tail kill switch cuts it off instantly. These two switches suit transitions, freezes and sound design moments as well as conventional mixing.

Because the input sidechain compressor is part of the chain, the reverb can respond to the dynamics of the source signal.
