Product Description
The R1 is an extremely powerful and versatile multi-function reverb that can quickly go from small intimate room sounds to massive washes of experimental euphoria with six customized, studio-quality programs - Spring, Hall, Plate, BFR, RFRCT (Refract), and Air. Every program can be tuned and tweaked and then saved to one of nine on-board presets. The R1 boasts a volume swell effect that can be applied to any program, sustain and latching momentary features, stereo in and out, MIDI control, and up to nine on-board presets (128 via MIDI). Players of all styles and genres will be able to find eternal inspiration with the R1. Programs: Spring - The Spring program emulates an excited spring reverb commonly found in tube amps with loads of transducing drip. Easily go from subtle to full-on surf rock. Experiment with the decay knob to get more than average amounts of reverb not found in traditional amp spring reverb tanks. X knob adds a warm grit to the reverb decay. Hall - The Hall program provides the acoustics of large live sound spaces like concert halls to arenas. Longer decays and higher X knob settings result in a massive wash of ambiance. Shorter decay and lower X settings allow for a more intimate reverb expression. X knob controls the room's size; smaller at lower settings to larger room sizes as you increase X. Plate – The Plate program emulates a smooth analog plate reverb with nice even diffusion inspired by famous plates like the EMT 140. X knob adds in gentle warm grit to the front end of the program simulating driving a hot signal into the plate. BFR - BFR is a no holds barred, big, f____, reverb. This is more than a giant arena reverb. It's a hall-esque reverb with rich and lush decay in a vast cavern filled with choirs of angels. X knob controls the amount of diffusion applied to the multi-tap delays used to form the program. At lower X settings, you'll hear these delays bouncing around for a more textured sound. As you increase the X knob, the delays are diffused, creating a smooth texture, and lifting your riffs and chords into the atmosphere. See ya. RFRCT (Refract) - The RFRCT program allows for lovely, charming, and glitch-like textures hovering over a largely diffused reverb. The Rate controls on RFRCT change how often the glitch effects occur while Depth controls the overall volume of the glitch effect. X knob is used to shape the tone of the glitch effect. At zero, the glitch effect will have a lo-fi, almost tape-like sound to them. Increasing the X knob brightens these elements with more pristine details. Air - The Air program offers a larger diffused reverb with a subtle shimmer but has a more “crisp” clarity to its decay. Explore slow-building sounds that don’t get in the way of your playing. Air complements keys and synths as well. X knob controls the amount of the wind and shimmer elements in the Air program. At zero the effect will be off. Turning clockwise will increase the volume of the air effect. Presets: The R1 can save up to nine on-board presets, and up to 128 are accessible via MIDI. On-board presets are accessible with the bank switch. Cycle between presets in each bank by pressing Bypass and tap at the same time. You will see the right LED change from Red to Green to Blue. Any adjustments made in a preset will change the tap LED to purple, indicating you have edited the preset. The R1 employs a powerful reverb engine that allows for the true preset spill over. When you switch presets, the new preset loads, and the previous preset is allowed to decay naturally. Tune: Use the Tune knob to shape the amount of low and high frequencies in the reverb signal. The X position is unique to program-specific features listed above. Tweak: Each program can be fully customized to your taste and playing style with the Tweak knob. Rate: Controls the rate of the LFO applied to the wet reverb signal. Depth: Controls the Depth of the LFO applied to the reverb signal. Pre Delay: Controls how long it takes after you play for the reverb to become audible. Bypass Modes: The R1 has three different bypass modes. True Bypass, DSP+True Bypass (trails), DSP Bypass (trails). Momentary Functions: Press and hold the SUS/LATCH (Sustain/Latch) switch to momentarily sustain the current reverb and continue to play over it through the same reverb algorithm. No dry signal here! Clicking the SUS/LATCH switch lets you latch the present reverb decay while you play over it.

Incredible latch mode worth the price (used) alone? Check
Lots of immediacy in adjustments for quick and easy tweaking? Check
Horsepower equivalent of much larger/big box Reverbs (SHARC)? Check
Unfortunately there is so much wasted potential in this pedal it makes it really hard to like. Here are the issues:
- Early firmware was terrible, definitely update yours asap as the sounds VASTLY improve!
- Going TS instead of TRS massively reduces the flexibility of the pedal as any EXP or Preset expansions can only be done via midi. Total waste as going TRS would have left 2x TRS lines open for expression or preset/bank management. It also means you'd need like 8 cables just to connect the 4 Mako pedals together.
- Compact form factor is an illusion - the side mount jacks would have allowed for an 1"-2" wider pedal with top mount jacks and no lost pedalboard space. The Meris line will take up about the same space.
- Algorithm knob and swell knob should be switched and the bank switch should have given 3x more sounds/options to tweak
- No global individual octave or shimmer controls (see above point)
- 4x similar room-ish sounds and 2x big open space sounds with no reverse
- Swell is your entire signal and can't be made just the reverb - this drives me NUTS!
- Wet/Dry acts weird above 60% (1 oclock) where the wet mix is already more or less 100%, and afterward the dry just gets faded out. This leaves you with no wet change from 60-100% and a volume drop at full wet.
- No output volume control - see above point, over 60% it becomes a nuisance to use since it lowers your perceived output.
- Clips with hot pickups, even when bypassed (not analog dry through - or at least in the mode that gets rid of the delay when engaging pedals - buffered bypass I think - it clips the bypass signal).
- Can't accept line level (see above) and no built in pad. For the price this is ridiculous.
- Fiddly preset system - press both switches to change which occasionally misses. 3 presets per bank which is almost worse than 2 given how you have to change them, you have to hit both switches 3 times to get back where you started - makes me nervous thinking about just trying to do that live.
- Bank toggle is a total waste of space. It should have been a small OLED or led indicator, freeing up the toggle that you'll never see on a dark stage for other things.
- All this for a pedal that retails for the same as a used Big Sky, Space, or Empress Reverb.
In the end, its good and the latch is something I've gotten used to on the SLO so it was a major feature for me. However, the sort of 'pro' level expectations of a piece of equipment like this were *not* met. Eventide Space has a pad and can run line level (and has clipping indicator - or at least the Timefactor does), Empress Reverb has input and output volumes and more features (looper/cab sim) but less immediacy. And the Strymon, which I've not used, also accepts line level and has a cab sim and significantly more sounds/banks.
This thing is a super hard sell (goes pretty cheap used thankfully), but Walrus gets it right where they usually do - TONE. It sounds rich and full of character, something I couldn't get out of the Empress and don't remember in the Space (didn't have it long). Its got lots of flexibility right on the face - better than all the others but could have easily had more - and allows for 9x presets, if fiddly to get to. Really you get three and need to press both stomps to move around. It works good but Alexander Pedals switching and expansion, by comparison, is lightyears ahead and those are far older. Still, you get a moody, characterful set of reverbs using a chip typically seen for more 'studio' sounds. As a result it sounds far better than most FV-1 reverbs and meshes in with your guitar sound in a way most of the other units don't (by design). If you want a huge, lush reverb to sit 'behind' your signal, this one might be frustrating to use. If you want something vibe-y to mix with it, its worth trying out!
