PRESET DETAILS

• Cloud 1
  This is my go-to cloud setting and my starting point for washy, cloudy verb. I have intentionally tamed the low-end and tone to reduce low/low mid mud and still preserve the cloudy verb clarity of the upper mids. Featured in songs such as 'Good Plans', 'Echo Holy', 'Now Here', 'No Name', 'Things of Heaven', and 'Living God’ by Red Rocks Worship.
   
• Cloud 2 Long
  A longer and higher mix version of my cloud verb tone. I use this for really making single note, octave lead lines, and hooks sustain and sing!
   
• Cloud 3 Short
  A shorter decay and lower mix version of my cloud verb tone, used for tighter rhythmic parts, or when less verb is more appropriate.
   
• Cloud 4 Wet
  An alternate cloud verb tone, used for full-mix wash and intentional effected verb tone only. Featured on songs such as 'Ascend', 'Only You Are Holy', and 'Living For The First Time’ by Red Rocks Worship.
   
• Long Hall
  When I want to change things up and get a different sound of the classic cloud verb tone, I use this long hall for swells, ambience and additive electric guitar textures.
   
• Medium Hall
  I use this medium hall in a similar fashion to how I use my short/medium clouds. This is an amazing reverb when you are wanting have something different from the cloudy, top end verb tones. I love using this when I’m seeking a more round verb choice. It’s really nice when you are playing alternate styles of music like pop, rock, country, etc.
   
• Short Plate
  Used nearly exclusively in the studio for tracking very tight, rhythmic or percussive electric guitar parts. This verb is more felt than heard, and is often stacked with other post fx or when I am giving another producer or engineer creative tonal liberty. I will use it live when playing strict, tight rhythmic guitar parts or when playing in a context with many and multiple mid range instruments ( 3 EG arrangements, multiple Aux Keys, horns, strings etc...)
