MusicRadar's got your back
Featuring two different reverb algorithms (one with longer pre-delay and decay than the other), the Splash mkII has a mix knob to blend in the reverb.
This doubles as a pull switch to kill the dry sound and give a 100 per cent wet signal for a special effect or for use in a parallel effects loop.
Sounds
Decay sets the length of your reverb trail while a volume knob lets you boost by up to 20dB to cut through the mix.
Most interesting is the Excite knob, which adds harmonics and can tweak the sound of the reverb for a sparkly presence.
Trevor Curwen has played guitar for several decades – he's also mimed it on the UK's Top of the Pops. Much of his working life, though, has been spent behind the mixing desk, during which time he has built up a solid collection of the guitars, amps and pedals needed to cover just about any studio session. He writes pedal reviews for Guitarist and has contributed to Total Guitar, MusicRadar and Future Music among others.
