SANCTUM

Stereo reverbPlatinum Series

Two reverb engines running at once — in series or in parallel — each with its own algorithm, its own time and its own tone. All the DSP power of the Platinum Series applied to the algorithms that made the Kailani.

Where it comes from

Born Kailani. Raised Platinum.

The Sanctum inherits the algorithms that made the Kailani and runs them on a platform that doesn't have to hold back: the same Platinum Series DSP, with memory and processing to spare. Same sonic signature, without the limits that kept it short — and twice over, because none of it is spent on a single engine.

Two engines, two paths

Series or parallel. The choice changes the instrument.

REV A and REV B are two complete reverbs inside the same pedal. The MODE knob decides how they meet, and the display shows the signal path while you play.

INREV AREV BOUT

The first engine's tail becomes the second one's input: a small spring feeding a cathedral, one reverb happening inside another. That is how you reach depths no single algorithm gets to.

What each engine keeps on its own

  • Algorithm
  • Decay
  • Pre-delay
  • Damping
  • Wet and dry
  • Low and high cut
  • Octave shifter
  • Its own bypass

Real spillover

When you change presets the tail that was sounding is not cut off: it keeps decaying for the time it had left while the new algorithm already responds to what you play. The direct signal never drops with it.

Features

What two engines change in practice

This isn't a reverb with more options. It's a pedal with two reverbs, and everything here follows from that.

01 / ENGINES

REV A and REV B, side by side on the display

The screen shows both engines at once — algorithm, preset and signal path — so you know what you're hearing without entering any menu.

  • Direct editing PRE, DECAY, DAMP and WET sit in the top bar, always visible for both engines.
  • Engine in focus The selected engine is highlighted, and the encoder edits only that one.
  • Per-engine bypass Switching one engine off leaves the other playing, with the dry signal passing through.

02 / SPILLOVER

Changing sounds is no longer a cut

The previous tail is captured and keeps decaying while the new preset takes over the input. The processing cost is constant — any pair of algorithms, both engines together.

  • On preset change The old tail ends in its own time instead of disappearing halfway.
  • On bypass Trails: switching the pedal off doesn't kill what was still sounding.
  • No stumble The direct signal is never attenuated during the transition.

03 / CONTROL

Two knobs that change function with the algorithm

X and Y have no fixed function: each algorithm redefines what they do, and the display tells you which. Switch algorithms and both land on the value that makes that sound work.

  • X and Y Freeze on Infinity, treble cut on Spiral, tremolo on Divided — it changes with the algorithm.
  • DECAY and MIX Time and wet amount always in the same place, so you can adjust while playing.
  • MODE and PRESET MODE toggles series and parallel; the PRESET footswitch changes A, B and routing together.

Complete presets

Each slot stores both engines and the routing, not just one algorithm.

Per-engine wet tone

Low cut and high cut act on the tail only; the dry signal is never filtered.

Per-engine octave

Each engine has its own, so A and B can point at different octaves.

True stereo

L/R input and output processed in real stereo at 48 kHz.

MIDI and USB-C

Program Change and CC for both engines; USB-C for firmware and presets.

Bypass with trails

The tail keeps decaying after you switch off, instead of being cut.

Algorithms

Twelve algorithms, two at a time

Open each one to understand the texture. Any pair can run together, in series or in parallel.

Huge tail, long pre-delay and widely spaced reflections. The algorithm that gains the most in series, fed by a smaller reverb.

Connections

Stereo on both ends

  1. IN L

    Input L / Mono

    Main 1/4" TS input. Mono signal by default.

  2. IN R

    Input R

    Second input for a stereo source — both engines process L and R separately.

  3. OUT L

    Output L / Mono

    Main output. On its own, it delivers both engines summed to mono.

  4. OUT R

    Output R

    Right output for stereo amplification or two distinct tracks.

  5. MIDI

    MIDI In

    Program Change and CC for both engines, the routing and the presets.

  6. THRU

    MIDI Out/Thru

    Passes MIDI on to the next device in the chain.

  7. USB-C

    USB-C

    Firmware updates, preset backup and the VTR Editor.

  8. DC 9V

    DC In

    9V DC center negative. Isolated supply recommended.
