Elevon is a reverb that sounds great on anything, from tight drum rooms and natural spaces to vast, lush halls. One Distance knob takes it from close to far, the highs stay smooth and never get harsh, and the tail stays clean in the mix.
On long reverbs, ducking that follows your notes keeps the lead up front while the space blooms around it. Great sound, great workflow.

What’s inside
Shape
The display shows how the lows, mids and highs die away, each in its own colour, so you see what you hear. Switch from Lines to Map to see where the energy sits in time and pitch.
Decay sets the length, and Lows and Highs set how much longer or shorter the bass and treble ring. Size, Density and Distance shape the room, and the crossovers set where lows and highs begin. The snowflake freezes the tail, and the note icon syncs Pre-delay to your tempo.
Ducking
Ducking turns the reverb down while you play and lets it bloom in the gaps, so a long hall never buries the lead or the vocal.
Duck by Notes and every note pushes the reverb down as it comes in. Start or End beside Hold sets when it comes back: while the note is still held, or only when it ends. Duck by Level and it works as a compressor on the reverb, with Range, Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release.
The trigger can be the input, a sidechain from another track, or your tempo. Low and high cut on the trigger let it listen to just the kick or just the vocal. The display shows the dry signal, the reverb and how far it ducks, live.
EQ, De-Ess and Tilt
A full five-band EQ on the reverb: low cut, low shelf, a mid band with Q, high shelf and high cut, over a live spectrum of the tail. The high cut has a Vintage slope for the rounded top of older reverbs.
De-Ess turns down harsh highs on their way into the reverb: an 'sss', the click of plucks and hats, sizzle that sticks out. It finds them itself in three bands (around 3 kHz, 6 kHz and above 9 kHz) and turns down only that band, only while it sticks out, by up to 24 dB. A sound that is simply bright stays bright, and the dry sound is never touched. Unlike a plain high cut or EQ, it never makes the reverb duller overall: it reacts only to what jumps or sticks out, the same at any level.
Tilt makes the whole reverb darker or brighter with one knob.
Motion and stereo
Mod and Chorus add slow movement to the tail, from a slight drift to a lush shimmer. The display shows how far the pitch of the tail moves, in cents.
Width sets how wide the reverb is, and Bass Mono keeps the low end in the middle. The stereo display shows where the lows, mids and highs sit.
Presets
64 factory presets in folders by use: halls, rooms, vocals, drums, instruments, guitar, bass, ambient, effects and more. Search them, star your favourites and save your own into folders. Lock Mix and it stays put while you try presets.
Match a reverb
Have a reverb sound you like? Bounce a sound dry, then bounce the same file through that reverb, and drop both into Match a Reverb. Elevon sets itself up to sound close to it, as a starting point you can keep shaping.
