Reverb Units

Re: Reverb Units

The EH unit it pretty cool. They tend to be a touch noisy, but the tone is pretty good.
 
Re: Reverb Units

Not much of a Digitech fan but the demo on their site sounds good.

That accutronics reverb is just the reverb tank. Ya still need the driver and buffers for it. ;) Yeah, I could make the circuit to do that, there's a few DIY projects out there, but I don't want to do that just yet. Too many other projects on the plate. Good idea though.
 
Re: Reverb Units

I actually have a Marshall Accutronics Reverb tank lying around; if only I am more electronic literate to make the circuit.
 
Re: Reverb Units

i never had a complaint with my EH holy grail when i had it. it worked great, no noise, no problems. i only sold it since i downsized my board...and i may regret that sale in the future.....oh well.

Re: Reverb Units

A vicarious vote for the Verb-zilla. A friend of mine uses one and likes it-he's had a number of Fender amps, including a Deluxe Reverb-which, IMO best exemplefies "Fender Reverb."

Plus-even though you want to set it and forget it, it has plenty of reverb styles to experiment with.
 
Re: Reverb Units

I have a Digitech Digiverb which is pretty nice, sounds a lot more organic than the boss reverbs ive tried, Electro harmonix reverbs (holy grail, holier grail) are really nice though they suck power like hell.

Id say try out a marshall one, marshall pedals ive found always sound good and are awesome for build quality, id bet my bottom it sounds damn fine too, though i havent tried one myself.
 
Re: Reverb Units

Thanks for the feedback. I've been trying to locate one of the new Marshall reverb pedals locally as well without any luck.
 
Re: Reverb Units

I have two I will recommend, both "sleepers", both by Peavey.

Their rack mount Val-verb unit has both tremelo and reverb; and was a very highly rated unit back in the day.

For a foot pedal, try and find one of their SDR-16s. You'll need the power supply--it does not use batteries. Sixteen different stereo reverb effects, rugged, quiet; and better sounding than the Boss Reverb.

Ususally, you can find really good deals on these.

Re: Reverb Units

Erik, I told ya before I don't know about the HG, but if it's as good at reverb as the Small Clone is at Chorusing, I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up. I'm really impressed with the SC. I think I like it better *gasp* than the old CE-2 I had for 15 or 16 years, believe it or not. I don't know how reliable it will be, but the tone is absolutely fantastic :bigthumb:
 
Re: Reverb Units

Thanks, Bill and Jeff.

I'm currently selling a rack unit so getting another would be kinda pointless...lol. The little Alesis units I'm considering because they are so compact. But yeah, those old Peavey's are nice. Used a Val-verb before that was in a friend's rig. Very nice. The pedal sounds interesting. No problem needing to use DC power, whatever I get will be sitting on the floor by the amp anyway in the Effects loop.

The Small Clone is really sweet, I agree. Everything construction-wise about it is the same as the HG (enclosure, jacks, power supply, switch), just a different circuit board. Christian speaks highly of it.
 
Re: Reverb Units

There's an ART MR-1 reverb on eBay right now. Anybody use one of these? It's pretty small, simple, can be bypassed. The lack of bypass on the Alesis stuff is kinda turning me away, unless the button is on the back or something.
