«  All that is expected of a reverb ... »

Published on 03/24/13 at 08:09
Reverb pedal analog stereo ... if needed!
It is very complete (see below), the correct size (same Boss, 120x70), not too heavy despite its metal structure (about 550g) ... I think the look aesthetically is successful (even if it is a detail), like all the pedals also Marshall ... (this is only my opinion of course).

So level connectivity, we have 2 entrances, one instrument and one for an expression pedal that will appropriate control / adjust the reverb time ... "live".
2 outputs are also present. 1 being the "bypass" and 2 for stereo when one is connected too.

Level settings, we have 4 knobs that are:

-Selector (MODE), which lets you choose between 6 modes of reverb. This can range from the "cathedral", the spring reverb, reverb to subtle and mellow ... short! Not easy with words, but everything is there.
Time-reverb (REVERB TIME), which controls the lag time of the effect, more or less "spacial".
It DAMPING, which controls the passage of high frequency (light / dark and thick gloss).
LEVEL it, which in fact is not a volume but a global setting of the passage in the level of effect on the sound.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration but take your time and look calmly what is expected of this pedal. I think everything is possible. Anyway, there's no fire, eh? Do not hesitate to note some favorite settings, especially with the selected mode!
The manual is complete, it also shows 4 presets test. I have attached the pdf file to download to interested parties.

SOUND QUALITY

Very realistic effect.
I am a small guitar with average knowledge of gear, but I find this very rich reverb, and faithful to its desired effect.
I tested the stereo rack (Jmp1/velocity) + 2 2x12 and it's really beautiful.
I like the reverse which creates a weird and wacky on full chords (clean or crunch).
Otherwise, I use it in "classic" Knowledge 1 (hall), reverb time 1 hour, damping and level at noon to 1am also!

OVERALL OPINION

I love the effects Marshall. I have the "Swampfire" (modulations) and have owned the Supervibe (chorus) and Echohead (delay). I've never been disappointed with the quality of workmanship and sound of these pedals.
So, admittedly, I have compared this brand with the Boss, MXR and multi-fx line 6 and Rocktron, but I do not see anything negative report. After the pedals at 150 € each, minimum, I do not know, sorry!

I bought this pedal when I changed my amp head. I found what I needed in a reverb, so no need to waste time looking for something else.
Value for money very good for me (seller careful, box, instructions etc ...).
Personally, I recommend it, but that's just my opinion ... everything is tested! However, I tried to be objective.

I hope this review is helpful ...

Zique good at all
