Very nice! And an awesome learning exercise for beginners like myself.

Looks great!

A couple notes - I think GVerb expects a mono input, and the triple reverb can be condensed with a loop. Try: 3.do { in = (in*0.2) + GVerb.ar(Mix.ar(in), 220, 12, mul: 0.3); }; instead

I cut the mul in half because of mixing the GVerb channels.

There's probably an effective way to make a SynthDef here, though the .scramble operator won't behave the same way.

I like the sound!
