Sole-Mate Jr.

The Sole-Mate Jr is a first of its kind, a spring reverb designed for pedal boards. It's component design allows the user to place just the control head of the system on the pedal board while the actual tank is located remotely, either under or at a short distance from the pedal board. The small head unit is normally attached to the pedal board with hook and loop methods commonly used on today's pedal boards. The spring tank can also be mounted via this method or with small screws utilizing the holes on the spring tank flange. Mount the spring tank with the open side toward the mounting surface to prevent damage to the springs. Connect the head unit to the spring tank with the attached RCA cables, plugging the RED plug into the OUT jack on the tank and plugging the BLACK plug into the IN jack on the tank.
*Note:Mounting the spring tank to a bare metal surface that is grounded, may result in a ground loop, insulate the tank form the mounting surface where possible.

Controls:

Reverb In/Out Switch
This switch cuts and engages the reverb effect when pressed alternately; it does not turn the power to the unit on/off. The red LED indicates when the reverb effect is engaged.

Dwell:
This controls the amount of gain the dry signal has that feeds the reverb circuit, i.e. how hard the springs in the reverb pan are driven. When first becoming familiar with the Sole-Mate's controls and how they affect the output, use small adjustments until the sound you are after is achieved. The Sole-Mate's dwell control is very responsive so using large changes in the controls range will prevent the user to hear the important subtleties that this control can contribute to the overall sound.

Output Level:
This controls the level of the signal derived from the reverb generating circuitry, which is then mixed with the dry signal from the guitar at the output of the Sole-Mate Jr. Here again, the user is urged to make small adjustments so the the full potential of each control is understood. This control along with the dwell control, the musician will discover and endless array of reverb effects, from a background shimmer to a fully drenched surf effect, it's there for you to discover.

Reverbamate-true analog spring reverb pedal

Are you one of those who wish their vintage amp had reverb that would do justice to its tone? One of those who pass on less expensive vintage amps just because it was a non-reverb model? Start playing more inspired blues, jazz or rock and roll with your non-reverb amp. You can with the Reverbamate by VanAmps.

The Reverbamate by VanAmps is the last word in reverb for your tone. Imagine a reverb so lush and detailed that you can’t distinguish it from the sound of a vintage tube reverb amp and in some cases far exceeds the standard we have all come to respect. What makes this reverb so different? Let’s start with engineering.

Most amplifiers manufactured now days, including some tube amps, use solid state circuits poorly designed for the application, with little regard to the spring tank's physical and electrical requirements. At VanAmps we have solved these issues and designed a reverb that will satisfy the most demanding of tone hounds using our patent pending circuitry along with quality components and hardware.

The Reverbamate has two outputs, a direct output and a reverb output. This allows for the utmost in flexibility. Utilizing both channels on a vintage or modern amp, the musician can separately adjust for the exact reverb requirement for their particular taste by using the tone and volume controls of the amp. In this way, your amp acts as a mixer, allowing you to adjust the sound in much the same way as in a studio or concert setup. Use the amp to “mix” in the right amount of reverb and direct guitar sound you want. This coupled with the output level and dwell controls on the Reverbamate make for some mighty tasty reverb effects. The Reverbamate works great with two input amps too! Here you would use the onboard controls on the Reverbamate and adjust the overall sound with the amp controls(volume, treble bass etc.) to fine your tone. There is even an auxiliary switch so you can switch your tremolo right there with your reverb. The Reverbamate features MOD-3 spring units, undeniably the best there is!

Built to last using stainless steel hardware and covered in quality Tolex® coverings in vintage brown, black, cream and also available in tweed. Custom coverings also available by special order.

The Reverbamate runs on two 9-volt batteries or with the included AC adaptor.
