"This is a great sounding reverb with some very clever instant tweaks on board"
The Blend knob adds reverb to the 100 per cent analogue dry signal, while Decay determines the length of the tail that seems to go on forever for some cool shimmery effects, especially with the Warmth knob at minimum - turn it up to dampen the top end and calm things down.
Slapback sets the pre-delay (zero up to 100ms), allowing separation rather than immediately swamping the dry signal.
Two possible deal-breakers are that there's no spring simulation, although we didn't miss it because some of the room settings come pretty close, and that bypass cuts the reverb dead - which won't suit those who'd like the 'trails' option of it decaying naturally.
