About This Item
Description
Space carries twelve reverb engines from Eventide's rack processors down to the floor, so the same pedal gives you a believable spring, a studio plate, and the gravity-bending Blackhole algorithm that no room ever produced.
Space is the multi-algorithm reverb of Eventide's Factor floor range: twelve reverb and reverb-combination effects, 100 presets, a programmable HotSwitch and full 5-pin MIDI. Blackhole is the compact pedal dedicated to the single Blackhole algorithm, which Space also includes as one of its twelve.
Why guitarists choose the Space
- 12 algorithms: Room, Plate, Hall, Spring, Reverse, Shimmer, DualVerb, ModEchoVerb, Blackhole, MangledVerb, TremoloVerb and DynaVerb, so conventional and experimental reverb live in one box.
- Blackhole with Gravity and Anti-Gravity is built in, which means huge inverted swells without adding a second reverb pedal.
- Shimmer adds pitch shifting to the tail, TremoloVerb pairs reverb with tremolo, and DynaVerb reacts to your playing dynamics.
- The HotSwitch stores a second set of knob values in a preset and jumps between the two instantly, which is how you get a verse-to-chorus ambience change without menu diving.
- The algorithms come from Eventide's H8000 and Eclipse rack processors, so the tails hold up in a studio context as well as on stage.
- 100 presets, unlimited via MIDI, plus selectable tails make it usable both at the front of a board and in an amp effects loop.
Controls
- 10 real-time knobs for decay, size, mix, damping and each algorithm's own parameters; all controllable by MIDI or an expression pedal.
- Encoder for selecting algorithms and presets.
- Three metal footswitches: bypass on the left; in Preset mode the other two select presets, in Play mode they become the HotSwitch and Tap Tempo.
- Aux Switch jack for up to three extra footswitches.
- Guitar/Line input and Amp/Line output level switching.
Connections & Power
- Two 1/4" inputs and two 1/4" outputs for mono, mono-in/stereo-out or full stereo operation, at guitar or line level.
- Expression pedal jack and Aux Switch jack for an external footswitch.
- 5-pin DIN MIDI In and MIDI Out/Thru, plus USB Type B for MIDI and software updates.
- Power: 9V DC center-positive, 500 mA, 5.5 mm / 2.5 mm barrel. Center positive is the opposite of most BOSS-style pedalboard outputs, so use the included Eventide supply or an output that can be set to center positive and deliver 500 mA. No battery operation.
- Bypass: true analog (relay) bypass, or DSP bypass that lets effect tails ring out, which suits an amp effects loop.

FAQ
Does Space include the Blackhole reverb? Yes. Blackhole, with Gravity and Anti-Gravity, is one of the twelve algorithms in Space. The compact Blackhole pedal is dedicated to that single algorithm.
What does the HotSwitch actually do? It stores a second set of knob values in a preset and jumps between the two instantly, so you can switch between two ambience settings hands-free. In Play mode the middle footswitch works as the HotSwitch.
Can Space go in my amp's effects loop? Yes. Set the Guitar/Line input and Amp/Line output switches to line level, and use DSP bypass so the reverb tails decay naturally when you switch the effect out.
Is there a spring reverb algorithm? Yes, Spring is one of the twelve, alongside Room, Plate, Hall, Reverse, Shimmer and others.
What supply does it need? 9V DC center-positive, 500 mA, on a 5.5 mm / 2.5 mm barrel. Center positive is the opposite of most pedalboard defaults; a US power supply is included. There is no battery operation.
Is it stereo? Yes. Two inputs and two outputs on 1/4" jacks run mono, mono-in/stereo-out or full stereo.
