Vermona Retroverb Lancet

Vermona Retroverb Lancet is a desktop spring reverb that is also an analog multi-effects processor. Three springs provide a reverb decay between 2.75 and 4 seconds, and a multimode filter, overdrive, VCA, envelope and LFO let you process the sound of the springs, not only add it.

More than a reverb

The filter works as a 24 dB per octave low-pass or high-pass or a 12 dB per octave band-pass, modulated by the envelope generator, an envelope follower, external CV or the LFO. With these you can build auto-wah, tremolo, distortion, gater and delay-like effects on guitars, basses, synths, organs, microphones and drums.

Trigger and modulate

The LFO runs from 0.05 Hz to 300 Hz with ramp, square, sine, sample-and-hold and envelope waveforms. The envelope has AD and ASR modes, attack from 1 ms to 10 s and decay or release from 1 ms to 15 s. Audio trigger, gate/CRASH and external CV (±10 V) inputs are on board.
