I remember how confused I was the first time I saw a cell phone with a camera—it made about as much sense as a waffle iron with a CD player. Unboxing the new Descent Reverb from Walrus Audio, which unites octave-generating effects and a modern reverb, elicited a similar sense of disorientation. History proved me wrong about camera phones, and after 15 minutes with Descent I had a similar conversion. This pedal could become a space rock/shoegazer essential.

Odd Effects United
Walrus isn’t the first company to flirt with pitch and octave-tweaked reverb. The effect has been around since the ’80s, and these days Eventide and Strymon are standard bearers for such “shimmer” effects.

But where Eventide’s Space is fairly complex and Strymon’s Blue Sky has a single shimmer-style preset, Descent splits the difference, allowing you to fine-tune the amount of shimmer in your reverb via relatively simple controls.

The reverb controls (dry mix, reverb time, diminish, tweak, wet mix) are on the top row, with the octave controls (dry signal, -1, +1) on the lower row. A mini-toggle selects from three reverb modes (hall, reverse, and shimmer). There’s no spring simulation—Descent is strictly for interstellar travelers, so look elsewhere for surf-a-billy reverb.
