Essential Information About the "Mirage JR" Reverb Pedal
- Compact format, studio-quality sound: mono engine inherited from the flagship model, analog dry path, and wide headroom for an intact signal.
- 16 versatile algorithms: plates, springs, rooms, cathedral, gated, and "Inchindown" impulse + shimmers, modulations, and infinite sustain.
- Instant controls: Mix, Volume, Swell, Excite, Voice selector, Shift toggle, and XF footswitch for momentary swells.
- Professional integration: true/buffered bypass with trails, Kill Dry, assignable expression input, top-mount jacks, robust chassis.
From Studio Classics to Modern Ambient Textures
With the "Mirage JR," you get the DNA of the larger "Mirage" model in a smaller enclosure: studio-level reverb processing and an analog dry path to preserve attack and dynamics. The algorithms cover the history of reverb, from plates inspired by vintage studio units to American amp springs, 80s-style gated reverbs, vast "cathedral" rooms, and the iconic "Inchindown" impulse. It stands as the compact version of the range, designed for stage use and dense pedalboards.
Who It's For and Its Uses
Guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists will find a palette ranging from subtle slapback to infinite ambient washes. Rock, surf, post-rock, shoegaze, modern pop, or cinematic styles: the "Mirage JR" shifts from spatial foundation in the studio to signature effect live. Its Kill Dry management and careful trails make it ideal for parallel looping, amp send/return, or mixing insert.
Features and Ergonomics Tailored for the Pedalboard
The
Swell/Excite duo sculpts depth and color depending on the algorithm (decay/size, tone, pitch layer, modulation, etc.). The
Shift toggle changes banks, while the
Voice selector directly calls up the desired reverb. The
XF footswitch triggers a momentary rise of Swell or Excite with gradual return, perfect for boosting a shimmer, freezing a note, or hitting a gated effect without adjusting settings. Top-mount connectivity, selectable bypass (true or buffered with trails), and state memory simplify stage life.
Sound Character
Transparent at low mix, wide and enveloping when pushing Swell, the "Mirage JR" combines natural diffusion and detailed tails. Modern voices add a cinematic dimension with silky shimmers, organic modulation, and ethereal sustain. It reflects the spatial aesthetic favored by artists known for generous reverbs (from rock to post-rock atmospheres), while maintaining excellent play response and dynamics that respect your attack.
