MAKO Series: R1

High-Fidelity Stereo Reverb

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.

Highlights

6 Programs

6 highly tweakable programs await and are ready to be explored: Spring, Hall, Plate, BFR, RFRCT (Refract), and Air

Spring - The Spring program emulates an excited spring reverb commonly found in tube amps with loads of transducing drip.

Hall - The Hall program provides the acoustics of large live sound spaces like concert halls to arenas.

Plate - The Plate program emulates a smooth analog plate reverb with nice even diffusion inspired by famous plates like the EMT 140.

BFR - BFR is a no holds, big, f____, reverb. This is more than a giant arena reverb.

Refract - The RFRCT program allows for lovely, charming, and glitch-like textures hovering over a largely diffused reverb.

Air - The Air program offers a larger diffused reverb with a subtle shimmer but has a more “crisp” clarity to its decay.

9 on-board presets

128 accessible via MIDI
