Peanut Butter and Jelly. Hall & Oates. Burgers and Beer. Delay and Reverb. Some things were just meant to be paired together, and the latter two on this list are featured in today’s pedal. The Atlantic from NuX is a combo delay/reverb effect, with each side featuring 3 classic takes on sounds from decades past. With tap tempo, shimmer and a few other options, this is a pedal that can take up just a little space on your board, but fill any room or concert venue with glorious sonic explosions.
On the Delay side, the modes you can choose from are 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. The 60’s mode (55ms – 550ms) is reminiscent of warm & dusty tape-echo machine, packed with an array of analog-only tones and saturated colors that turn any sound vintage. 70’s mode (40ms – 400ms) is a mix of retro sounds and modern technology, all while keeping that beloved BBD sound intact, for a truly classic feel. If you’re looking for a straight-up, no frill delay tone, 80’s mode (80ms – 800ms) is for you – the crystal clear, digitally-copied clean repeats carry your signal with absolutely zero color particles. Use the TAP Division knob to control the delay speed and delay pattern, and use the Smart Tap feature on the Delay bypass footswitch to instantly sync up your delay sound, too.
On the Reverb side, you get three modal options as well. Spring creates a polyphonic atmosphere filter that catches the sound reflections from deep down spring reverb tank, adjusting the tank size with the Level knob and set the reflection distance with the Decay knob. Plate mode creates straight and clean reflections inside a flat-walled room – you can control the room size with the Level knob and then tweak the Delay bounce point with the Decay knob. If you hold down the Reverb switch, straight reflections will be heated and swirled, creating a Shimmer effect. Finally, Hall is just an emulation of a well-designed hall – you can adjust the interior hall size, from a small garage to a huge structure, with the Level knob, and increase or decrease the number of objects on the walls with the Decay knob.
You can run the Atlantic in stereo via the 2 Output jacks, but you can also use a TRS Y-cable in the Input jack to add the Atlantic to any effect chain via Send/Return connection jacks. There’s an Input Level Switch (-10dB / +4dB), a Parallel or Serial Output switch (and inside routing) and even a USB port for firmware updates. Basically, this little guy does it all, and sound incredible while doing so. The NuX crew has been putting out some great gear, so be sure to head over to their site to peruse all their effects.
