From the vendor

Who doesn't love the glorious wash of a reverb after hitting a big chord? The only issue with it is that the wash can also turn the attack of new notes to mush, making it hard to get any real definition of the notes being played. That can be desirable at times, but other times you want that big wash of reverb on the tails of the notes but a more present, dry attack. The Escape Artist allows for precisely this. It's a pedalboard-friendly reverb circuit with an envelope follower and optical compression of the reverb signal so that you can dial in just the right amount of detail for new notes while allowing the wash of a heavy reverb to fill the space between notes. Add to that the ability to have mono or stereo out and the Escape Artist becomes a very compelling solution for adding space without sacrificing clarity.

Ducking of effects using a side chain input is a common studio technique
