Flux Effects Liquid Ambience Vibraphonic Version 2 http://www.fluxeffects.com/ AMBIENCE From deep sub-octave foundation layers to soaring super-octave shimmers, the Liquid Ambience seamlessly blends in beautiful lustre underneath your tone, ghosting your every move. The Liquid Ambience brings two complex DSP concepts together in one elegant solution... Polyphonic Octave Generation and Hall Reverb. The strum-friendly polyphonic algorithm ensures perfect tracking, and seamlessly translates the entire input spectrum up and down the frequency scale. VOICES The Voice control blends between octave and sub octave or alternatively blends between fifth and sub fifth. An additional Bend mode gives you a slightly detuned note instead, either up or down in frequency from your input, introducing syrupy thickness to your tone. Adding recirculation to this produces a smooth continuous bend (see Evolve control). Setting Voice to 12 o’clock (pitch neutral) turns the Liquid Ambience into solely an atmospheric reverb. NEW (Mono version only) Two new modulation modes have been added... - Chorus/Vibrato trails with reverb surface filter - Tremolo trails with morphing sustain REVERB The reverb section provides luscious and spacious Hall type reverberation optimized for natural low frequency and high frequency damping. The Space knob controls the effective ‘size’ of the space, shaping the ambient density, tonal smear and rise & fall dynamics. In Octaves and Fifths modes some dry is also sent to the reverb to increase the ambient complexity. MORE In Oct/5th/Bend mode and Chorus/Vibrato mode the More switch recirculates much more of the signal, emphasizing the Evolve effect. At high Space settings in Bend mode and Chorus/Vibrato mode this slowly takes the effect into self-oscillation giving a rising intense sonic wash, eventually breaking up into Geiger-Müller territory. In Octaves and Fifths mode it accentuates the shimmery/synthy characteristic. In Tremolo mode the More switch acts as an evolving sustain. DRY LOOP (Mono version only) For versatility, the dry path that feeds into the final mix can be interrupted and looped through an external effect or effect chain (EG delay), for a more complex layered sound. Alternatively the SEND can be used on its own as a dry feed to a second chain if desired. EXPRESSION INPUT (Stereo version only) You can plug in an expression pedal or 5V control voltage to control the Voice knob remotely. BYPASSING The Liquid Ambience is true-bypassed using a high quality latching signal relay to preserve signal chain integrity, but can be reconfigured via an internal switch to provide buffered bypass with trails for natural reverb decay when the effect is deactivated, should you prefer. PREMIUM COMPONENTRY BiFET op-amps are used throughout for their super low noise JFET inputs and high output drive capability, film capacitors preserve input tone, Alps pots ensure smooth and clean parameter control.

About This Video

Hey everybody—Curtis here. In this demo I’m checking out the Flux Effects Liquid Ambience Vibraphonic Version 2, which takes that fantastic, luscious hall reverb Flux is known for and adds new mono-only modulation modes: chorus/vibrato and tremolo. I’m playing my Novo Cirrus T (bridge Tele pickup) into my Benson Earhart combo, mic’d with a Sennheiser e906, starting with a clean tone and then moving through the different modes so you can hear how it reacts in a real-world rhythm-player setting. I begin by quickly sampling the “original” Liquid Ambience-style sounds—those octave/sub-octave and fifth/sub-fifth textures plus the big hall space—then I jump into the new tremolo mode where the waveform shifts from harder on the left to smoother on the right, and the speed is controlled right on the pedal. After that I head to the chorus side (and into vibrato shortly after), showing the wide range of speeds and how the reflections filtering works, especially when I back off the Space knob so you can really hear the chorus character. I also touch on the More switch behavior (it can ramp things up depending on the mode/space), the true-bypass-with-trails setup, and the dry loop that lets you insert another pedal into the path for even more layering.
