Arquitecto

The Arquitecto by Paradox Effects is a unique reverb pedal featuring two cascading modulated reverbs, each with different time, voicing, and two depth modulation settings. The pedal is designed to provide a wide range of reverberation effects for various musical applications.

The two reverbs in the Arquitecto are named Reflector and Diffuser. Reflector emits a bright-voiced reverberation with a shorter time, while Diffuser produces a darker, deeper sound resembling the loss of intelligibility in a large enclosure. Each of these reverbs also features a toggle switch for adjusting the modulation, allowing users to explore different tonal possibilities.

The Expand control is a momentary switch that expands the decay and feedback of either the Reflector or Diffuser, providing the option for self-oscillation effects. This feature enables users to create unique and evolving reverberated sounds, from ambient washes to cavernous landscapes.

The Arquitecto operates using a 9-volt DC power supply with a positive barrel and negative tip at the center, featuring a 2.1mm diameter. The pedal draws a minimum current of 85mA. It is recommended to use a regulated power supply to ensure optimal performance and avoid unexpected noise or operational issues.

Overall, the Arquitecto by Paradox Effects offers a versatile and innovative approach to reverb effects, making it suitable for musicians and sound engineers seeking to explore creative and distinct reverberation textures in their music production and performances.
