Thank you for purchasing our product. We really mean it. We hope to earn your trust by delivering a quality product that inspires you to make great music.
Neunaber products are designed and manufactured in Orange, California USA.
We recommend that this pedal be placed at the end of your chain, before or after another reverb. Also, shimmer will have more sibilance if placed after a speaker simulator rather than before. If you are using the overdrive channel of your amplifier, this effect should be placed in the effects loop for best results.
The power jack accepts a standard (5.5 mm OD x 2.1 mm ID) center-negative pedal power adapter (not included). The power adapter must be between 9 V and 12 V and capable of supplying 100 mA or more.
The input jack (top right) accepts input directly from your instrument, amplifier effects loop output, or other effect pedals via a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) phone connector.
The output jack (top left) supplies output to another effect pedal, an amplifier, or effects loop return via a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) phone connector. The buffered output is capable of driving long cables. If plugging into the input of an amp, you should use the low impedance (Lo-Z) input if available.
The Engage switch selects between engaged and bypassed. The LED lights when the effect is active. Bypassing the effect does not lower power consumption, because it does not turn off power to the pedal.
Press and hold the footswitch for 1 second to switch between reverb only and reverb with Shimmer. Release when the LED illuminates red.
The Mix knob controls the mix between the dry signal and reverb:
The Depth knob controls the length of the reverb tail; or in other words, the size of the acoustic space.
The Shimmer knob controls the amount of shimmer in the effect. With this knob fully counter-clockwise, there is no shimmer: the effect is reverb only. The Shimmer knob is inactive in reverb-only mode.
These controls are accessed by holding down the Engage footswitch while turning the knob.
The effect control switches between the popular original shimmer algorithm and the new W3T shimmer algorithm (which is the same as the algorithm on the Immerse Mk II).
| Effect | Reverb-Only LED color | Shimmer LED color | Knob direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original | blue | yellow | counter-clockwise |
| New, with W3T | green | white | clockwise |
The bypassed signal may be selected to have trails or not. When Trails is on, the effect signal trails off naturally after the pedal is bypassed. When off, the effect cuts off immediately when the pedal is bypassed.
The LED will momentarily change color to indicate which bypass mode is selected.
