The Seven Verbs IRs
The Verbs stompbox captures some of the most interesting and exciting places on earth for you to play through.

Here is what settings you can play with on the Verbs:
- Pool of the Blackstar – Produce incredible spacious reverb, giving you the longest reverb in the world. Experience what it would be like to play in the Pool of the Blackstar, in the Tvisongur Sound Sculpture, the Inchindown Oil Tanks, the Hamilton Mausoleum, and the Konig Otto.
- Capricornia Caves – This mode gives you the feeling of playing in natural cave systems or the vast industrial-ness of a nuclear reactor for an out-of-this-world reverb experience. Settings 1-8 give you the Capricornia Caves, Innocent Railway Tunnel, Poly HQ, the R1 Nuclear Reactor Hall, a T2 Hangar, and a Civil War Bunker.
- Santa Lucia Basilica – This Verb captures religious buildings from around the world, capturing the feeling of having high ceilings and long halls, for a holy moly reverb effect. Within this mode, the eight settings are the Santa Lucia Basilica, the Pantheon of Rome, York Minster, The Knight’s Hall, St Alban’s Cathedral Lady Chapel, St. George’s Episcopal Church, St. Patrick’s Church, and St. Matthews’s Church.

Endless Possibilities
Thanks to the Verbs low cut/high pass filter on the send to the reverb, you will receive high frequencies going through your reverb sonic landscape, overall giving you a classic Beatles-like sound. You can change the preset values from MIDI, giving you complete control and customisation over your Poly Effects Verbs pedal. The ability to instantly control the crescendo with footswitch A, as well as toggle the bypass and control preset change with footswitch B allows you to harness the true power of Verbs.
