«  A MUST »

Type pedal boutique offering 3 types of reverb: flat, room and spring and 3 different modes: normal, modulate (reverb "chorussée") and shimmer. True bypass.

Aesthetically very neat (small bluish look great) and a surprising lightness compared to what I have been before (and boss RV3 tc electronic nova reverb).

In short, from the first grip, we feel that it has a product out of the ordinary in terms of its design. Remains to be seen on the plan sound.

UTILIZATION

Not complicated at all, subtlety found in the equalization reverb can sound: the damp low two knobs (bass) and high damp (acute) deserve attention and vary the rendering obtained very significantly. Add to bass reverb rather dark or rather treble for a shiny.
the first delay also strengthens the presence of finely reverb

These three knobs are extremely sensitive and transform obtained as soon as we made the turn a few millimeters, the prerogative of quality pedals!

SOUND QUALITY

So there Strymon hat! On the sublime matter what research: a conventional reverb (the normal mode) or on the contrary a more surreal tone ideal for creating soundscapes to pink floyd example (with modes "mod" or "shimmer ").

Another key point: the true bypass to respect the original grain of your amp.

Note also that with the type of room and adjustment decay beyond noon we get a hall reverb (it bothered me that there is not this type of reverb, I am reassured!). More complete as it seems so.

OVERALL OPINION

This is undoubtedly the reverb pedal the moment, much higher than anything I could have. The class.

Only the flint of the same brand that comes out could compete with the best and complete!

it seems expensive on paper, but after all it is a little less than two times more expensive than boss rv 5 and 10 times it sounds as I say 100 times better! then the investment is worth it.
