detune « Nice but ... »
Published on 04/23/14 at 16:39Pedal with two types of reverb, spring and modern, and two possible settings: decay and depth. I'm pretty sure it's all digital.
On paper this is exactly what I need, a simple pedal but still providing two types of reverb really different.
UTILIZATION
With two buttons it's hard to take the lead ...
SOUND QUALITY
I'll do mode by mode:
spring fashion: the pedal is supposed to reproduce a spring reverb, which it does quite well (sisi, you really hear the springs as if we had a fucking kick in the amp). Having said that the effect is quite discreet in putting depth until 12am and when we want to grow a little by turning the depth (decay thoroughly to hear well), he eventually eat outright signal, the overall volume s' found in significantly decreased, and the product look like a dude beating up his amp (with its spring reverb) 15km away.
Never had a real spring reverb, I said that maybe the engineers trex pushed up the vice reproduce the defects of this type of reverb? In any case, looking for pretty extreme sounds, I did anyway never knew what to make of this mode despite having tested all possible configs (hey, it's true, I took only 10min).
on the other hand ...
the modern way: there was a clear but alive anyway reverb with a small side "dark" (as I think I've read above), the knobs fulfill their role: the decay plays well on the duration of effect and the depth knob on the room size, ranging from reverb simulating a small room (kind ROOM) to reverb simulating a cathedral. The depth to bottom, the sound is anyway well embedded but not displease me.
With both settings, we get a fairly impressive range, always with this dark look that I love.
But! Because there is a but, the more you shoot the effect, whether with the decay or the depth, the greater the chance to SATURATING PEDAL!
I use behind a aria pro II two humbuckers and when I send him a big full bass chord with the neck pickup and it saturates well! And a distortion upstream is worse ...
So, I did not use that no more than 12h on two knobs which was quite frustrating, or play the splitted microphones to reduce the output level of my guitar, time to spare ...
But I liked his little dark side and I kept it anyway and now she serves effect on my mixer on which I can easily manage the output levels. And there is happiness, she fucks a large and dirty murky atmosphere on all instruments. Special mention of the BAR.
I would put 2 for the spring and eight for the modern. What makes 5/10
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for over a year now, I had not tried before simulations of multi-effects and it surpasses widely, at least in modern mode. I love his dark side and spatial simulation very realistic and I hate the fact that saturates so fast especially for a pedal that is not really low end! Just to have not tried a lot, I'm pretty sure we can find an equivalent in the same price, with perhaps a workable spring and a pedal that accepts more input level but who knows?
So I am anyway mixed on this pedal is a kind of love story / hate that is played there and maybe once I will have left, I would discover that it is anyway much better elsewhere! Go in doubt, I put it a good 6 because I like it anyway ...
