DISC Vermona Retroverb Lancet

Full Description

Analog Multi-Effects Processor

The Vermona Retroverb Lancet is a versatile, analog multi-effects processor including a varied range of high-quality effects. The Retroverb Lancet combines reverberation, analog multimode filter, VCA and distortion. Each of these effects are modulated by the exceptionally fast LFO, as well as including an envelope that can be triggered in multiple ways. The comprehensive range of effects makes the Retroverb one of the most versatile multi-effects processors on the market. The spectrum surpasses that of standard effects processor, giving you a wide range of controls that allows you to get in-depth with your effects. The spring-type reverb is generated using the Belton/Accutronics type 4 spring tank (with 3 individual springs), allowing you to place it pre or past the VCF/VCA section for optimal versatility.

In-Depth Controls & Parameters

The ergonomic layout makes tweaking and blending effects easier than ever before. The comprehensive range of high-quality effects including a multimode filter, acting as a lowpass or highpass filter with a slope of 24dB per octave. The multimode filter is followed by the VCA, allowing you to modulate the filter and amplifier individually, using different sources. It also includes 3 internal modulation sources including envelope follower, enveloper generator and LFO for added flexibility. The Retroverb Lancet also boasts dedicated rotary knobs for Balls, Cutoff, Resonance, Gain, Drive, mix Volume Speed, Wave, Attack, Decay/Release and Sense, giving you an intuitive way of controlling every aspect of your effects.

Highly Compact Design

The robust yet highly compact design, makes the Retroverb Lancet perfect both live and studio applications. The heavy duty metal chassis means it can withstand the rigors of everyday use, as well as being transported. The ergonomic layout is set out with dedicated sections for the VCF, IN, Out, VCA, LFO and EG, allowing you to make quick and easy changes on the fly. The rear of the unit features Overkill, Input, pedal/CV, Crash, Trigger In, Bypass and Output connectivity. Additionally, the unit comes complete with its own dedicated power supply.
