Cusack Music Resound v2 Digital Reverb

Cusack Music Resound 

The original Cusack Music Resound digital reverb pedal, based around the popular Spin Semiconductor FV-1 microprocessor, is now upgraded to version 2!

Re-designed to feature a dedicated expression pedal input, dedicated Left and Right output, and updated programs this is a great reverb!

The Resound V2 sounds even better than the first edition. We built upon the success of the first version and kept most of the programs that people have come to love.

Cusack tweaked the programs to give each program more complex characteristics equating in a smoother, lusher tone. We have updated the 5th program to be a “SWELL”.

It comes loaded with eight different reverbs, the ability to save up to eight presets, and an “Extend” switch to help create complex ambient landscapes.

Beyond great reverbs, the Resound is also capable of rich chorus, freeze,  and near-infinite decays!

Resound Reverb Types

• Room: Room delays
• Plate: Plate Reverb
• Cathedral: Very large reverb with long trails
• Modulated: Reverb/chorus program
• Swell: A new program for the V2 that reverses your guitar sound and ducks in response to your dynamics.
• Hall/Freeze: Allows for very long tail, up to freeze, and Blend mixes new and frozen signal
• Spring: Modelled on 60’ s spring reverb tank and amplifier reverb.
• Shimmurmur:“ Shimmer” and “ Murmur” program with independent controls

Premier guitar said of the version 1: “Cusack has clearly done due diligence when it comes to filtering and noise reduction—Resound is not only church quiet during operation, but free of unwanted sonic artefacts in reverb decays.”  …  and this is even better!

Here is a video of the Resound V2 in use

Controls

Separate Live and Preset modes.

Parameter 1:

Varies by program (see manual).

Parameter 2:

Varies by program (see manual).

Decay:

Controls how long the reverb effect lasts.

Level:

Boosts or cuts the overall output signal from the pedal. Noon is unity gain.

Mix:

Controls the dry/wet mix. Fully CCW is 100% dry; noon is 50/50 dry/wet; fully CW is 100% wet.
Program: Switches between the eight different reverb programs. Program names are located on the front of the pedal. The manual contains more detailed descriptions of the programs, including the functions of Parameters 1 and 2.

Cascade (used in combination with Extend):

Controls whether new notes are added to the extended reverb or not. Left is off; right is on.
Trails: Controls whether the reverb effect completes or not when the pedal is bypassed. Left is off; right is on.

L / Bypass:

Engages/disengages the pedal (live mode), or engages/disengages the left preset (preset mode).

R / Bypass:

Engages/disengages the pedal (live mode), or engages/disengages the right preset (preset mode).

Extend:

This switch maxes out the decay, which varies by program (see manual). Press once to turn on (large LED blinks fast), and once more to turn off.
Stereo Out / Expression In: This is the right output jack marked by the empty triangle. Use it as either a stereo output or an expression pedal input.

Power:
-Standard centre negative 9V DC supply (not included)
-Current draw: ~85mA
