About This Item
Description
The Hotone Verbera NC-200 is a dedicated convolution reverb processor that loads real impulse responses instead of algorithmic reverb math, giving you studio-accurate spaces on a pedalboard.
Why guitarists choose the Verbera
- Convolution reverb engine (not algorithmic) with 32-bit high-performance A/D & D/A conversion and 32-bit DSP for a transparent, high-headroom signal path (SNR 115 dB, +/-0.1 dB 20Hz-20kHz).
- Full parameter set per preset: Tone, Decay, Mod, Attack, XR Mix, and Predelay knobs, plus a dedicated Preset/IR knob to browse and rename impulse responses.
- ALT and CLONE buttons unlock per-preset expression settings (ALT+CLONE), so you can tailor expression behaviour preset by preset instead of using one global setting.
- Managed by Hotone's own Neon Collector software (current build V1.3.1) for organizing and loading impulse responses and presets.
- USB 2.0 Type-C for firmware updates and IR management, alongside a full analog I/O set: 1/4" TRS input/outputs and dual 3.5mm MIDI/EXP jacks.
Controls and switches
- Preset/IR knob – rotate to select, press to confirm or rename.
- Tone, Decay, Mod, Attack, XR Mix, Predelay – per-preset parameter knobs.
- ALT and CLONE buttons – ALT+CLONE together enters per-preset expression settings.
Power and pedalboard compatibility
Runs on 9V DC, 1A, centre negative; no battery option is documented. Input impedance is 1 MΩ, output impedance 1 kΩ. Bypass is Analog Dry Thru + Buffer.

FAQ
What makes convolution reverb different from a normal reverb pedal? Convolution reverb loads a real impulse response captured from an actual space or hardware reverb, then applies its exact sonic fingerprint to your signal, instead of approximating a space with algorithmic math the way most stompbox reverbs do.
How do I connect an expression pedal? The MIDI IN/EXP jack accepts a 1/8" (3.5mm) TRS expression pedal cable, which Hotone notes usually needs to be converted to a 1/4" (6.35mm) TRS plug for standard expression pedals.
Does Verbera support NAM A2? No. There is no NAM A2 statement anywhere in Verbera's official manual or firmware release notes – it is a dedicated convolution-reverb/IR engine managed by Neon Collector, not an amp modeler.
What software manages presets and IRs? Neon Collector, currently at build V1.3.1, compatible with Verbera firmware V1.2.1.
Does it need a 9V or 18V power supply? 9V DC, 1A, centre negative – the same voltage as most Hotone pedals, but note the 1A current draw is higher than a typical passive pedal.
Can I use MIDI with Verbera? Yes, one of the two 3.5mm TRS jacks is switchable between MIDI THRU and a combined MIDI IN/EXP function in the MENU.
