HOLY GRAIL MAX
Reverb Pedal
Congratulations on your purchase of the Holy Grail Max, an easy to use, stellar
sounding reverb pedal from Electro-Harmonix. The HG Max delivers four types of
studio quality reverb: SPRING, HALL, PLATE and REVERSE all designed for the
discerning guitarist but also great with other instruments on stage or in the
studio. Included is a newly designed analog wet/dry control which provides a
constant volume curve as you turn the BLEND knob from fully dry to fully wet
while also keeping your dry signal analog through the pedal.
WARNING: Your Holy Grail Max comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI
power supply (same as used by Boss
®
& Ibanez
®
: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The Holy Grail
Max requires 80mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Using the wrong adapter or a
plug with the wrong polarity may damage your Holy Grail Max and void the warranty.
- REVERB DESCRIPTIONS -
SPRING – Spring Reverb is a simulation of the spring reverb found in many
classic guitar amps. In SPRING mode, the TIME knob controls both the size of
the springs and the overall decay time. As you turn the TIME knob clockwise, the
spring reverb gets bigger and longer.
HALL – is a simulation of the reverberations heard in large spaces such as a
concert hall or cathedral. In HALL mode, the TIME knob controls the decay time
of the reverb. As you turn TIME clockwise, the reverb time increases creating a
larger reverberant space. Using the TIME control you can obtain reverb spaces
ranging from a room to a large hall.
PLATE – is an emulation of a metal plate reverb commonly found in high end
recording studios during the 1960’s and 70’s. The Plate reverb is a very smooth,
tonally balanced sounding reverb that sounds great on many different
instruments, especially vocals. Turn the TIME knob clockwise to increase the
decay time of the PLATE reverb. When TIME is maxed, the PLATE reverb creates
a very long reverb decay; holding each note for over 30 seconds.
REVERSE – Reverse Reverb is an emulation of the reverse reverb trick
commonly performed in studios, where a note’s reverb fades-in, in reverse of
course, before the note is actually struck. The HG Max works in real time and
