Winter NAMM 2012 News
I've been using the Monacor EEM 1000 digital delay processor for about two years and I've found it to be a great sounding unit. However, the sound quality doesn't blow me away, it just sound good and usable. Because of this reason, I tend to shy away from using this unit all the time unless I am looking for a specific sound because I can get com...
My big complaint I guess is the size. For such a wacky effect, it takes up a ton of board space. For this reason I see it as more of a studio pedal and I only take it to gigs where I know I'm gonna need it. I'm not omar from The mars volta with some massive pedal board. If you want a classic ring mod and not someone's version of it, I would ...
I have had this for 1 year. The best thing about this effect is, again, everything, and i mean everything that is sent through this sounds crazy cool. I don't think there is anything I don't like about this pedal. I did try the ring mod effect in the Boss ME-50 pedal, and thought it was ok, but this thing kicked its digital butt with glistening ...
I've been using the Alessis Microverb 4 digital reverb for about four or five years and while it has served me well and has been useful, I don't use it all that much for a simple reason. While the sound quality of this unit is pretty good, unless an outboard reverb is top notch, I find myself using plug-ins more and more as I have found some rev...
You simply can't go wrong with the Roland RE-101 Space Echo. It's a cheaper way to get that classic Space Echo sound that has been used on so many different records, most without you even knowing that you're hearing it. The RE-201 Space Echo is definitely the best Space Echo out there, but this is a good runner up, at least as far as the model...
All I can say is that this is a great pedal for vibe tones on a budget. It's a simple, no-frills vibe pedal. If you are on a cover band gig and need to play some "Bridge of Sighs" or "Machine Gun" in your set, and are strapped for cash, this pedal will do nicely. For what I don't like about the pedal, the graphic is a bit cheesy,...
I was originally dazzled by the abundance of features and how well this pedal handled them all. I ultimately decided that, for my delay usage, I'd preferred the sound of other pedals over the extreme amount of functionality the Strymon Brigadier. That doesn't mean this pedal isn't fantastic, it is. It is just a little too transparent for my ta...
I absolutely love the tone of this pedal but what I love most is the ability to "pitch" shift your delay sounds (by messing with the Feedback time) and not getting the alaising and other awful sounds you get out of digital delay pedals when trying to achieve the same thing. The only thing I don't like about the pedal is the absence of "Tap Temp...
PCM60s seem to be trading today for around $400 give or take, which is a bit of a surprise. I'm not sure it represents the best value at that price, considering other, more feature-packed and sonically diverse units at that price and particularly on the used market (where there are also more modern Kurzweils, TCs, Yamahas, lower end Lexis etc)....
If you just need a simple phase sound this might not be for you. The sound quality is excellent but the size and price may be too much if an old Phase 90 will work for you. Personally I don't think I will ever sell this box as it's the first Moog product I bought and it got me into all of their pedals. I did not own too many phasers before this ...
