One Control BJF Series Prussian Blue Reverb Pedal

Unlike other reverb pedals that can have a synthetic "high-octave" and spring-like sound, the One Control BJF Prussian Blue Reverb is a perfect combination of several classic ambient tones. Promising a dynamic range that's five times broader than most reverb stompboxes, the Prussian Blue yields authentic and organic sounds — with a natural high-end guaranteed.

One Control 'BJF Series' Pedals

One Control are well-known for their pedal switchers and pedalboard management devices, but they also make their own effects — the BJF Series! These mini pedals are designed by Björn Juhl, a legend within the stompbox sphere who's highly regarded for his work with Mad Professor, Barefoot FX and his own company, BJFE. These stompboxes not only sound great, but save precious pedalboard real-estate too!

Björn Juhl on the Prussian Blue Reverb:

"The Prussian Blue Reverb has a dynamic range that is five times larger than a general spring reverb. It is filtered to prevent it from having too much 'tremble' or saturation. A broad dynamic range is essential to create an open spatial property."

"At the same time, a decay control was added to prevent reverberation from interfering with rhythm. The decay control designed by BJF does not simply adjust the overall reverb length. The decay time can be set from 2ms to 2s. In simpler terms, choose between a soft reverberation or a long-lasting reverberation. This decay control, combined with the natural reverb, is similar to studio-grade reverb thanks to the technology present in this pedal."

"The Prussian Blue Reverb’s early reflection is set to be short. Thanks to the short duration between the guitar/bass attack to the reverb start-up and the overwhelmingly natural reverb tone — unnatural reverb is simply not present in the final outputted sound."

"The pedal allows you to mute a dry signal with the 'Kill Dry' switch too, which is accessible on the left side of the chassis. While it is a common function among rackmount reverbs, it is also effective when it’s connected to a parallel effects loop on some guitar amps and mixers. If you connect the Prussian Blue Reverb with the 'Kill Dry' on to the main signal chain, you can use it to create slow volume effects by setting the early reflection to short."
