Noise Engineering Batverb: Unique Reverb Makes the Jump to Pedal Form
Gritty reverbs and delays for guitars and synths.
4,4 / 5,0 | 
Noise Engineering Batverb is a new reverb pedal based on the Desmodus Versio module synthetic tail generator DSP.
Noise Engineering Batverb
Worlds are colliding in the most amazing ways. Noise Engineering may be best known for its Eurorack modules but it also does pedals. Its latest is Batverb. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because that’s the name of the DSP used in the Desmodus Versio module from a few years now. Now it’s in a stomp box.
Noise Engineering Batverb: Delays and Reverbs
The Batverb DSP doesn’t emulate real-life spaces but rather does its own thing, somewhere between a delay and reverb, so Noise Engineering refers to it as a synthetic tail generator. Or, in the words of Stephen McCaul from Noise Engineering in the demo video from NAMM 2025 below, it has, “a lot of delays that interact in complicated ways to make atmospheric sounds.”
The stereo pedal has a time control for adjusting the length of the delay/reverb. You can spread out the taps to make it more diffuse, like a reverb. It offers two pitch shift effects in the feedback loop based on granular pitch shifting, with both octave up and down modes. It also has a hold button to freeze the effect.
Noise Engineering Batverb: Grit, Ducking, and Connectivity
If you’re like me, you can’t get enough distortion reverb. It sounds like Noise Engineering feels the same way, as Batverb offers a distortion algorithm called Grit. It has two modes, one for distorting only the wet signal and the other for roughing up everything. “It’s pretty gross,” says Stephen in the video.
The Batverb pedal also offers a ducking function.
In terms of connectivity, it has stereo in and out, an expression pedal jack, plus MIDI in/out.
Noise Engineering Batverb: Pricing and Availability
There’s no pricing information available yet but Noise Engineering estimates that Batverb will be out in March of this year.
