Shift Line released the A+ Everest II, a stereo reverb and delay pedal, on September 8, 2023, according to Delicious Audio¹. The pedal is the result of the Everest M evolution, the maker says, and adds stereo mode with width control, dual mono mode, tap tempo and an improved hold mode to the mono Everest M²¹.

The Everest II is a stereo reverb and delay pedal which offers the user deep control over the sound, Shift Line says³. It has six reverb and delay modes with the two effects running in parallel, independent volume control for both effects, stereo and ping-pong delay, tap tempo with subdivisions, a low-pass filter for brightness, switchable tails in bypass, a Kill Dry option and a fully analog dry signal chain². The maker lists a 9-12V power intake with a current draw of 75-100mA, top-mounted jacks, a micro-USB port for updates and settings, and an external tap tempo input². The pedal does not support TRS connections².

Controls include REVERB LEVEL and DELAY LEVEL knobs, a REGEN knob that controls delay feedback and reverb decay together, a STEREO WIDTH knob, a TIME knob, a MODE switch for the six algorithms and a BEAT switch for subdivisions². The BYPASS footswitch turns the effect on or off, enters Hold Mode when held, and recalls the Favorite preset when pressed twice². Holding the TAP footswitch while changing the BEAT switch setting selects stereo or ping-pong operation for the delay section².

Shift Line's support page lists firmware version 1.3.1, installed on pedals manufactured after May 1, 2022³. The page describes editing the EVEREST2.SET config file over USB, including parameters for input gain, tap subdivisions, patch switching and external tap trigger types³.

The Everest II product page states that the device is currently out of stock². No US price is given on the pages. The Everest M is listed as discontinued⁴.
