Reverb's Next Chapter as a Private Company Published April 22, 2025 by Reverb Team Today, I'm excited to share that two new investors-Creator Partners and Servco-have entered an agreement to purchase Reverb from Etsy. Once the deal closes, we'll be a privately-held, independently operated company backed by two investors who bring a passion for the musical instrument industry as well as a community-first approach and a deep desire to help transform creative industries for the better.
Labels for Switchcraft patchbays, in their plastic sleeves Printed on 2 sheets on color laser, ends cut off to get the cutting marks right at the end of the paper, taped together for alignment, cut at the blank center, then taped again, cut very carefully with a roller cutter. Looks good, takes too long

FB post by Mark Lewis: “Dave Hagen i see that we have some pretty credible mutual friends. All of us have spent time with avid personally. All of us know that meters do not process audio. The conversation cant possibly be entertained farther than that. Keith Ross the meters are not in the audio path.”

COMP This switch activates a carefully integrated compression circuit. (This is one of the major "secrets" of the elite amp modifiers.) This circuit adds a tremendous amount of "smoothness" to the sound and further enhances sustain, without sacrificing bite or crunch. This curcuit is the key to an incredibly liquid, warm tone that still screams. Full power chords ring clear and fat, single notes sing, and it seems the player only need think "feedback" and soaring harmonics cut the air like a hail of bullets.

Cover art for the album - painted by Aaron Turner, inspired by Moor Mother. Colorful and dense, hard for me to put in words
Screenshot of a Pro Tools "output window" (the little single window showing a fader) with the "Link" and "Inverse Pan" buttons enabled. This makes the pan knobs act the way I expect them to: click one to move both, opposite of one another.
