Types
It provides 5 different reverbs. For each effect the user can choose between some sub-types. Well, let's see the list with a short explanation of each type.
Room
- Small, Medium, Large
The names explain everything.
- Tiled
The classic bathroom reverb with a large number of reflections. The manual recommends this effect to add a bit of color to the sound.
Spring
- Plain
Compared to the other two types, the most neutral.
- Classic
The emulation of the classic Spring.
- Vintage
With this effect the NR-1 emulates the Spring of an old amp.
Hall
- Small, Medium
The reproduction of the reverberation in two different size environments.
- Church
Very famous and with many reflections.
- Classic
The emulation of the classic TC Electronic reverb. The manual recomends a medium decay time, but also a prolonged time.
- Concert
A long decay time, but that preserves the tone of the original sound.
Plate
- Tin
Analog. Perfect for Funky.
- Silver
A sort of perfect balance between the two other types, Tin and Gold. Rather bright and with a great diffusion.
- Gold
The main characteristics of the Plate reverb are the brightness and the diffusion. Here these two characteristics are particularly present.
Specials
- Stomp
The reproduction of a generic stompbox reverb.
- Ambience
It emulates a room with a very simple structure.
- Modulated
The modulations are generated with a very complex Low Frequency Oscillator.
Controls
- Decay
The decay time. It adjusts, fundamentally, the length of the effect.
- Pre-Delay
The time between the original signal and the effect. If your sound is a bit confused you can add more Pre-Delay.
- Color
Substantially, an equalizer that adjusts the high-end frequencies.
- Dynamics
Derived from the TC 2290. When it is active the dynamics of the input signal controls the level of the Reverb.
- Mix
The mix between the original signal of the guitar and the effect.
Opinion
Certainly, an excellent device. The NR-1 is expensive, but it will not disappoint. This TC Electronic product provides a good sound for every possible situation, and the overall quality is always very valid.
