Neunaber announced the Illumine, a stereo multi-mode reverb pedal, on August 6, 2021, according to Gearnews¹. MusicRadar reported the launch on August 10, 2021², and No Treble reported on August 20 that the pedal would ship in late August³.

The Illumine offers 17 reverb modes, including Plate, Hall, Vintage Digital, Spring, Shimmer, Rumble, Bloom, Swell, Infinite Hold and Gated Plate⁴¹. It carries 50 factory presets and 50 user presets⁴¹³. Gearnews reported that the Wet v3 effect in the pedal is identical to the W3T reverb preset in the Immerse MkII¹.

The pedal has two knobs with push function for editing presets and parameters, and footswitches for preset switching and on/off duties⁴. It offers MIDI input and thru/out, with a controller mode that Neunaber says replaces a simple MIDI controller⁴³. An expression input accepts an external expression or volume pedal to control up to five parameters, and a built-in A/B switch transitions between values or cycles presets²¹. The dry signal stays analog, and an adjustable gain structure accepts instrument or line-level inputs⁴². Neunaber lists a high contrast, wide viewing angle display, top-mounted jacks and power from a standard 9V supply drawing 100mA, not included⁴³. The unit ships with a pair of 2.5 mm TRS-to-MIDI adaptor cables, a manual and rubber feet, and further edits can be made with the Illumine Preset Manager Software and a USB-MIDI adaptor sold separately². Neunaber says the pedal is manufactured locally in Orange County, California⁴.

Neunaber describes the pedal as "the ultimate reverb machine"²¹.

Pricing reports differ. Gearnews gave an introductory price of $379 rising to $479 and said the pedal was expected in late August¹. No Treble said it would ship in late August at an introductory $379, eventually landing at an MSRP of $479³. MusicRadar said it was available now at $379 for a limited time, regular price $479².
