It's akin to me saying a twin reverb is a terrible amp, because it makes a terrible PA.

it works well when used as it was designed.

i didnt go for the holy grail and im really in no position to buy anything nowadays .... still looking out though. the alesis stuff sounds interesting but it too probably sounds 'processed'? im thinking now that rackmount is the way to go for me

It offers significantly more control, but at the expense of realism or even tone, as I also found it thing sounding overall.

i'm about to get one of the alesis midiverbs. probably midiverb ii. they can be had for practically nothing. not sure how they sound on guitar but iirc kevin shields uses one
holy grails is not so good imo
― hotel califor.nia (r1o natsume), Thursday, 6 May 2010 22:56 (fourteen years ago) link
alesis is good. i used a lil nanoverb for several years and it served me well.
― hobbes, Thursday, 6 May 2010 23:03 (fourteen years ago) link
otm. probably the most overrated reverb pedal
― hell and the handbaskets (electricsound), Thursday, 6 May 2010 23:16 (fourteen years ago) link
kinda cool seeing reverb pedals pop up in general. i haven't really played electric guitar for a few years, but there weren't many options for guitar players outside of rack mount gear until recently, no?
― hobbes, Thursday, 6 May 2010 23:36 (fourteen years ago) link
no pedals, but for verb:

yair the tc pedal looks kickass
― hell and the handbaskets (electricsound), Thursday, 6 May 2010 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link
that does look sweet
is there a difference in sound between the midiverb and the nanoverb. my impression is the latter is just a smaller pared down version of the former
― A. U. Khan (am0n), Friday, 7 May 2010 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link
i always thought the same, though i have never used a nanoverb
my midiverb needs to get used more :(
― hell and the handbaskets (electricsound), Saturday, 8 May 2010 00:16 (thirteen years ago) link
thats why i'm wary of picking up a rack effect. do u have a whole rackmount setup?
― A. U. Khan (am0n), Saturday, 8 May 2010 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link
nanoverb is contemporaneous to the midiverb 4 and has exactly the same effect algorithms and the same 18 bit dacs. i think the only difference is the lack of led screen and less programs in the nanoverb. they can be had for so little now it might be worth buying one just to try it out
i think the earlier midiverbs have a lower bit rate conversion and supposedly have a more lo-fi sound
you could also get a little midi foot switch for live use
― hotel califor.nia (r1o natsume), Saturday, 8 May 2010 18:30 (thirteen years ago) link
do u have a whole rackmount setup?
no, the only rack unit in my "chain" is a roland re-3
― chillwave of mutilation (electricsound), Saturday, 8 May 2010 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link
nanoverb is nice cause it's just like a 5x5x1 box that sits nicely next to the rest of your pedals. and in terms of functional limitations, i never felt like i needed more parameters to control its sound or whatever oh and yeah, i just use a footswitch, works like a charm.

thirded, they're really weak
always liked these

that expression pedal behavior is very interesting.
― Sufjenga Cat Giffin (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 5 June 2014 05:01 (nine years ago) link
I wonder if it will linearly taper between any two states of the knobs. I would imagine so.

did anyone else get suckered in by the strymon big sky? i've found it very difficult to fall in love with
― doctrine the house (electricsound), Thursday, 5 June 2014 05:17 (nine years ago) link
I tried out the Big Sky and never really connected with it. I like Strymon's reverb in the Flint far more.
Suspect the simpler controls on the Flint make it faster to get something you want.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 5 June 2014 05:25 (nine years ago) link
Strymon's writing is a bit much
― Sufjenga Cat Giffin (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 5 June 2014 05:30 (nine years ago) link
I appreciate just how far they're willing to go to make DSP-in-a-pedal a special thing rather than endless "it's all analog man" manifestos. I love the Flint and could be persuaded to deficit spend on a Lex, but past those two I'm surprised at how "meh" I find them. In the end I suppose it's just taste. When Mesa Boogie amps first became a thing, I couldn't get over how much they made everything sound like Boston (the band, not the Pixies). Bleak era, but a good time to buy perfectly good used silverface Deluxe Reverbs. A steal back then!
