In fact, during the consecutive two years, the AMA has been chosen from many alternative, post-rock, shoegaze and ambient artists (including some well known ones) and it's been featured (and mentioned several times) on the gear encyclopedia \"Pedal Crush\" in late 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new version (simply marked as V.2) is the result of the feedbacks we received from all around the world during the past two years and it's been created to provide the most exciting experience to all the sonic adventurers out there who love a gently modulated and oscillating spring reverb in front of a bit crusher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AMA V.2 offers up to 4 different control parameters for the reverb (OSC, MIX, REVERB and RAMP) and 2 for the re-worked and now more musical bit crusher which is still placed after the reverb (RESOLUTION and SAMPLE RATE).\u003cbr\u003eNote: About the bit crusher, there is also an internal trimmer which controls the effect's gate. Anyway, we suggest to leave that as it comes from the factory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOSC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the new features offered by the V.2.\u003cbr\u003eIn the first version, the reverb oscillator was only switchable (ON\/OFF) and it was strictly related to the decay. Now things have changed: the OSC knob allows to decide how much oscillation has to be noticed on the reverb tail, going from no oscillation at all (OSC knob fully counterclockwise) to the as wonderful as noisy self-oscillation mode (OSC knob fully clockwise).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMIX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MIX knob controls the balance between the dry and wet signal.\u003cbr\u003eTurning it clockwise, the percentage of reverberated signal will be more noticeable (and viceversa).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVERB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe REVERB knob controls the decay’s length.\u003cbr\u003eTurning it clockwise, reverb tail will become longer (and viceversa).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRAMP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most exciting feature of the AMA V.2.\u003cbr\u003eThe RAMP footswitch is related to reverb's oscillator and its work speed depends on the OSC knob setting: more closed will be the OSC knob, slower will be the oscillator ramp (and viceversa).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRUSH\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThat's the position of the toggle switch which allows to engage the bit crusher circuit placed after the reverb.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRESOLUTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe amount of the oscillation pulse.
