LICHTLAERM AUDIO "As Above, So Below"
Celestial Reverb | Ambient Bloom · Octave Shimmer · Infinite Decay.
Vast. Lush. Otherworldly.
As Above So Below is our most expansive reverb to date — a cavernous, swelling monolith of sound. Even without invoking its octave-shifting powers, it can summon endless soundscapes that stretch far beyond the horizon. But twist the right knobs, and it becomes something else entirely: part cathedral, part dream, part cosmic void.
At its heart is our signature reverb architecture — rich, immersive, and infinitely shapeable. A Dampen control lets you smooth out highs for vintage bloom or glassy shimmer. A Wet/Dry blend moves fluidly from subtle ambiance to 100% wet atmospheres. A Level control with up to +6dB of boost lets you rise above the mix or plunge deeper into it.
But what truly sets As Above So Below apart is its octave architecture:
- Above lifts the reverb into angelic territory, adding a glistening high octave that floats like a halo over your signal.
- Below pulls it down into the depths — a slow, droning sub-octave that can be offset in time using the X-Control, creating massive, breathing harmonic movement.
- And Both? That’s the full duality — celestial and subterranean colliding in a wash of haunting harmonic richness.
Need infinite decay? Hold the Freeze footswitch and the reverb suspends in time, creating pads you can play over — ambient, glacial, eternal.
A dedicated Send & Return loop allows you to reroute the reverb path through your favorite outboard effects, warping, distorting, or modulating the tails to taste. Of course, switchable Spillover ensures seamless transitions between presets or bypass, while an Expression input gives you real-time control over the added octaves — fading the heavens in and out with your foot.
As Above So Below is not just a reverb. It’s a portal — a place where sound breathes, expands, and becomes something sacred.
