In the realm of sound, where echoes stretch into infinity and silence hums with possibility, there exists a device not merely built, but conjured. NUCLEO Reverb is not just a pedal. It’s a portal, a universe, a living canvas of textures waiting to be sculpted by your imagination.
Forget everything you know about reverb. NUCLEO isn’t here to decorate your tone, it’s here to transform it. Powered by the formidable M7 Cortex Engine, this pedal doesn’t just simulate space; it creates it. From whispering ambient layers to vast cinematic swells, NUCLEO responds like an instrument, not an effect.
Each nuance, each shimmer, each decay was meticulously crafted to feel alive beneath your fingertips. It’s the culmination of years of sonic alchemy and a deep collaboration with the visionary Paul Davids, whose fingerprints are etched into its soul.
NUCLEO was born from a dream shared with APFX Audio, whose technical mastery and creative spirit helped shape this sonic marvel. The result? A pedal that’s intuitive enough to invite play, yet deep enough to reward exploration.

Whether you’re in a studio layering textures or on stage conjuring atmospheres, NUCLEO adapts. With TRS inputs for mono/stereo, transformer-isolated outputs, and USB-C connectivity, it’s as versatile as it is visionary.
At the heart of NUCLEO Reverb are three distinct reverb modes, each designed to evoke a unique sonic atmosphere. Reactor offers a dynamic, reactive space that pulses with energy, perfect for creating movement and intensity. Room delivers an intimate, warm, and organic feel, ideal for subtle ambiance and natural resonance.
Meanwhile, Hall unfolds into an expansive, lush, and cinematic environment, enveloping your sound in grandeur and depth. Together, these modes form the foundation of NUCLEO’s immersive sound-shaping capabilities.
Three voicings further color each mode:
- Normal: Clean and modern
- Vintage: Rich with analog warmth
- Lo-Fi: Gritty, nostalgic, and textured
And then come the magic wands: MOD, AIR, and FLUX.
These dedicated faders unlock modulation, pitch shifting, and granular textures, tools to shape your soundscape like a sculptor with light.
Freeze Time, Bend Reality
NUCLEO’s Freeze section lets you hold a reverb tail indefinitely, turning it into a pad, a drone, or a foundation for sonic layering. With Freeze Pitch, you can shift that frozen sound, creating transitions that feel like time folding in on itself.
Store your sonic spells with three onboard presets, or expand your library to 128 via MIDI, ensuring your most inspiring moments are never lost to memory.
Compact yet cosmic in capability, the NUCLEO Reverb weighs just 0.5 kg and measures 120 x 94 x 42.4 mm (4.73 x 3.7 x 1.62″), making it effortlessly portable and pedalboard-friendly. But don’t let its size fool you. This sleek device holds the power to reshape your entire sonic universe, delivering expansive textures and immersive soundscapes from a footprint that fits in the palm of your hand.
Let Your Creativity Flow
NUCLEO is more than a tool. It’s an invitation. To explore. To play. To create soundscapes that shimmer, evolve, and breathe. Whether you’re a sonic architect or a curious wanderer, this pedal is your companion into the unknown.
So plug in. Dial in. And let your creativity flow.
