Reverse Mode C
Vibrant reflections.
Reverse Mode C is a fantastical mix of motion and space. It’s an echo composed of multiple distinct voices that move in different directions - forward, backward, and up - that you can blend, isolate, and sequence, all glued together by some very colorful modulation.
It was made in collaboration with Empress Effects, and is a celebration of a very special mode found on their Superdelay, released in 2008.

- Create layered echoes that move in multiple directions.
- Generate shifting patterns using the built-in sequencer.
- Chop, frequency shift, and bend the reflections.
- True stereo in and out, including mono splitting.
A brief history.
15 years in the making.
The Empress Superdelay was released in 2008.
It was a sandbox of echoes and loops and textures and it was fun. It felt like something new – a pedal that wasn’t just about achieving an effect, but about exploring sound and spontaneity.
It was a huge inspiration for our approach.
So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to team up with Empress and make a tribute to its most exciting mode.
It’s vibrant, and refreshing, and very super.
Modulatio
Explore six varieties of modulation that can be pushed into audio rate. The motion can be synced to the delay time or free-running. Frequency shifting (x2), vibrato, chorus, tremolo (x2).
Multidirectional echoes
Reverse Mode C has three different echo voices that can be isolated or blended together in a variety of ways to create rich, layered repeats and unique panning effects.
Sequencing
Cycle between the different voices to create rolling echoes and a shifting stereo image. Have the sequencer run continuously for an additional layer of synced motion, or control it with your playing dynamics.
