Description Ether Effects Reverb just got a whole lot wilder A reverb like no other, Ether takes your sound to new dimensions with its unparalleled processing capabilities. This isn’t just another multi-effects processor – Ether is a creative powerhouse that allows you to shape and manipulate your sound like never before. PITCH-PERFECT With the ability to adjust and blend, PITCH gives you complete control over your sounds’ timbre. Tuning your reverb up can add shimmering, ethereal qualities, suitable for creating otherworldly textures and soundscapes. Pitching down, on the other hand, can add depth and weight, perfect for lo-fi crunch. RISE AND SHINE Take your tracks to new heights with mesmerizing MODULATION. Easily control rate, mix, and stages to achieve subtle and lush swells to mind-bending motion. RINSE & REPEAT With the ability to feed the input from the dry, pitched, reverb, or mix, add DELAY in ways that previously seemed impossible.
