    NPD

    So I got a Hardwire Supernatural today. I only messed with it for about an hour but it sounds fantastic. I mostly bought it for the regular plate mode as I've never been a huge fan of spring reverb. The plate mode is fantastic, much better than the plate mode on the Hall of Fame I had a few years ago. The plate mod setting is fantastic for ambient stuff - nice and haunting when set for a long decay. The shimmer is really cool too because, unlike most other shimmer reverbs, this one goes for a different vibe than any other shimmer I've heard before - almost a bit out of tune, it's less pristine and more ethereal.

    I'll post more impressions later if anyone is interested. Side note - for the first time ever, I have filled my PT-1! I've had a board this size for like three years and have been one pedal away from full like half a dozen times, but I have finally filled it. The only change I want to make is to swap out my Timmy for an EP booster, but I could be happy with the Timmy. I'm glad to be done with pedals for a while.

    Good choice, man. Those supernatural's are awesome pedals.

        I like de bufferez mode. Trails for the win.

        The more I play this thing the more I love it. I never thought I would be a shimmer kinda guy, and I think on any other reverb I wouldn't like it too much, but on this one it's just beautiful. And the plate... oh, the plate. It's killer either using it for a subtle reverb to fill the space or to create lush soundscapes. The plate algorithm needs to be felt as much as heard - it really captures the vibe of what I imagine having a giant metal plate reverberating feels like. That's another thing - all of the algorithms are extremely dynamic. I'm used to that on my dirt pedals and even my old Memory Lane Jr, but I've never had a dynamic reverb. This thing is SO much better than the hall of fame I had like two years ago. Now that I have the Supernatural, I can hardly believe I went two years without reverb. It's my favorite effect for just filling out an otherwise dry tone.

            Steve - The Hardwire is awesome. If you're a shimmer connoisseur then it's worth it for the shimmer alone. It's incredibly unique - check out the video PGS did on it. They actually did a seperate video for each algorithm, it made the choice very easy. As far as the trade, I might take you up on that. I just want to go to GC and try the EP back to back with my Timmy to make sure it's the right pedal. I'll let you know.

              Good one!!
              I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

                Believe it. I'm 100% satisfied with my board. The ONLY thing that could cause me to break is if Catalinbread ever releases that EMT-140 plate reverb emulator, and that's a maybe, especially considering they probably won't release it for a year or two if ever.

                  Didn't you say that like a week ago?

                  Congrats on the new pedal, and don't worry, we are all addicts here too.

                    I meant that I was 100% satisfied with everything I had. I still wanted a reverb.

                    I've been using it more today and I'm wowed even more. It sounds so incredibly good combined with my Timeline. Reverb is now a staple of my board. I never want to turn it off. I can't wait to get my ambient on when I jam with my jam buds.

                      great pick up. I have the hardwire rv7 reverb, somewhat similar to the supernatural, but also very different. but i can say, the quality of the verbs is really amazing
