Let’s begin by plugging the Talisman into your amp’s input without any other pedals in
the chain. We will address integrating it into your effects chain later on. Set your amp
to a clean setting, this way you can hear the most accurate representation of how the
reverb sounds and responds to your playing.

A quick word about effects loops - many
players prefer to use reverb effects in the
effects loops of their amplifiers. The
Talisman can be used in the effects loops
of many amps provided they are
instrument level or adjustable line level
loops. Loops that are non-adjustable line
level with a hot output may cause the
Talisman’s preamp to clip. If that is the
case, simply run the Talisman as the last
pedal in your chain of effects prior to the
amp’s input.

Let’s start with a medium decay, full-
bodied EQ sound. Set the controls
thusly:
Notice the clear reflected sound - very
natural and room-like. Big sounding,
but unobtrusive.

Now let’s explore the effect of the PRE
DELAY and HIGH PASS controls on
this setting. These controls allow you to
fine tune the attack characteristic and
EQ of the reverb in relation to the dry
signal.
