Crazy Tube Circuits Mirage Jr

Mirage JR is a compact reverb powerhouse that delivers all the creative range of its big sibling in a streamlined, single-engine mono format. It offers the same studio grade processing, intuitive layout, and algorithm selection.

Built for guitarists, bassists, synth players, and ambient creators who want maximum sound without complexity. Whether you’re chasing vintage plate tones, cinematic shimmer, or frozen walls of reverb, Mirage JR brings it all together in one expressive unit.

The reverb engine runs any of 16 carefully crafted reverb algorithms, organized into two banks of natural, familiar spaces or modern and experimental territories. Four dedicated knobs and two expression controls enable powerful real time interactions, from expressive shimmer bursts and freeze triggers to evolving modulated textures.

Despite its compact footprint, Mirage JR gives you plenty to show off, visually, sonically, and practically. It shines as a mono front end spatial effect, but it’s equally at home in pedal switchers, synth setups, or even as a send effect in the studio, bringing the magic of the original Mirage to any rig.

Mirage JR features a powerful studio-grade reverb engine offering 16 immersive algorithms, to help you shape sonic environments from vintage realism to deep ambient dreamscapes with endless room for creativity.

CONTROLS:

• mix: Adjusts the level of the reverb effect relative to your dry signal.
• volume: Sets the output level. Use at unity gain or dial up for clean boost.
• swell: Controls the length or size of the reverb effect. On select algorithms, it may trigger additional behaviors – see chart below.
• excite: A context-sensitive control. Its function changes depending on the selected algorithm – see chart below.

ALGORITHM SELECTION & BANKS.

SHIFT PUSH SWITCH:

Toggles between the two available algorithm banks:

Outer Circle (Switch Up)

NATURAL / VINTAGE / FAMILIAR REVERBS Classic reverb types found in nature or vintage gear - plates, springs, rooms, halls, and more.

Inner Circle (Switch Pressed Down)

AMBIENT / EXPERIMENTAL / MODERN REVERBS Surreal, ambient tools designed for textures, pitch shifts, modulation, and immersive environments.

VOICE SELECTOR (ROTARY SWITCH) Selects from 8 reverb algorithms within the currently active bank. Each position on the rotary switch corresponds to a specific reverb "voice." – see chart below

Notes: • Each algorithm responds differently, decay time, tone, and wet level may vary. After selecting a new algorithm, you may need to adjust the Swell, Excite, Volume and Mix controls for optimal results. • After switching banks, you may need to turn the Voice Selector to activate the new algorithm.
