Ledges is a compact, three-mode reverb with the ability to save and recall six presets and user-assignable expression control with loads of customizable options. From warm, lush reverb tones to the farthest sonic reaches of the reverb cosmos, Ledges can do it all.
Ledges was created for no-nonsense musicians who need access to a wide variety of fantastic sounds and don’t want to mess with menu diving, extra footswitches, or midi controllers. Ledges offers three distinct, rich reverbs that cover all the bases - Room, Hall and the almost infinitely regenerating Plate - with user assignable expression control and six presets to easily switch between settings. Presets can even save expression pedal assignments, making it easier than ever to save and switch between 6 unique reverb sounds.
Ledges has three unique reverb modes: Room, Hall and Plate. Each mode uses a different algorithm, tuned to give specific spatial qualities, while still sitting perfectly in the mix. Looking for harsh or muddy tones? Keep looking, cause you won’t find them here.
Three Classic Reverb Modes
Mode R: Room Reverb
At the shortest Length setting, the Room mode achieves a small, boxy room sound that gradually gets bigger as you turn it up.
- Length: Sets the length of the reverb, from small to large room.
- Damping: Tames the treble in the reverb reflections.
- Mix: Adjusts the level of the reverb.
Mode H: Hall Reverb
In Hall mode, as you increase the Length setting, it morphs into a Cathedral style reverb that becomes really big, boomy and echoey with distant reflections.
- Length: Sets the length of the reverb, from hall to cathedral style reverb.
- Damping: Tames the treble in the reverb reflections.
- Mix: Adjusts the level of the reverb.
Mode P: Plate Reverb
Turn up Length in Plate mode to get bouncy reflections that recycle and reverberate forever.
- Length: Sets the length of the reverb, from large plate to mega plate with nearly infinite reflections.
- Damping: Tames the treble in the reverb reflections.
- Mix: Adjusts the level of the reverb.
Operating Modes
Ledges has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the Save/Recall switch. In Live Mode, the pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. In Preset Mode, stored presets are selected using the Preset switch, and the physical settings of the controls will be ignored.
Presets
Ledges has six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings. The settings for each of the three controls, the mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.
Expression Control
Use any TRS expression pedal to take control over the Length, Damping or Mix. Different EXP assignments can be saved in each preset. You can also use Control Voltage with the EXP jack. The CV range is 0 to 3.3v.
Flexi-Switch® Technology
This device features Flexi-Switch® Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.
For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.
For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.
Ledges is buffered bypass with tails. Power is required to pass signal.
Power
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
