RECYCLING NOISE SINCE 2001The Nanoverb 2 was first produced in 2011 and is more or less a direct hardware update to the original Nonoverb1. It has various effects including a selection of Reverbs, Delay, Chorus, Flanging, Tremolo, Rotary and a few combination effects. For each effect type theres 16 different presets to chose from. The effects are far cleaner and more precise than on the original Nanoverb 1 unit, but whether that means they are better or not depends on your personal preference. Alesis claim the Nanoverb 2 has 52 bit processing, but what that actually means is anyones guess!We’ve only added three mods to this unit, but even with just the these mods its capable of creating sounds we’ve never heard from anything else! The mods consist of a power switch, a LTC1799 based system reclocking knob, and a switch that appears to loop and hold the contents of the onboard RAM.The reclocking knob controls the processing speed of the whole system. This not only allows you to edit the effects to a greater degree than you would otherwise be able to, but also takes the effects way outside of any normal parameters. Reverbs can be clocked down to form huge washes of alien sound, the delays can extend to glacial crumbling lofi extremes and time based modulation effects turn into a wall of slowly undulating twang! Presumably due to the supposed 52 bit processing, the Nanoverb 2 is still fairly clean even when its clocked down to very low speeds. You don’t tend to get quite the same aliasing noise and muffled sample rate reduction that you often hear on similar units when you slow down the processing rate, but you do get a small amount of background hiss appearing.The RAM loop switch grabs whatever audio data happens to be occupying the RAM at that moment and loops it round, but in the maddest way you can imagine. Its as if the Nanoverb 2 stores the sample data in a completely non linear and fragmented way, and the switch makes it read the memory back from beginning to end so you get random chunks of sound vomiting forth in what sounds like bizarre tribal rhythms. Its especially effective in stereo where you get a wide stereo field surging back and forth.Its impossible to describe……………. Just listen to the demo below! You’ll have to cut and paste the link as ebays bizarre rules prevent a clickable link. https://soundcloud.com/circuitbenders-co-uk/circuit-bent-alesis-nanoverb-2-demoThe unit functions as normal without the mods engaged and with the clock speed set to standard, as indicated by a dot placed around the reclocking knob.It will be supplied boxed with the original manual and a UK power supply if you need one.
