Best Reverb for Bass

Post by jazznrick »

Hello,
I never seem to be able to find an Iron Ether Nimbus, so I was wondering if you all could help me find a great reverb for my bass rig. I plan to use it as a light reverb for post punk tunes and also use it for my synth sounds. thanks so much

hardwire reverb is good, the old boss ones too. Idk many reverbs that let you tweak the diffusion like the nimbus I think the newer source audio stuff lets you.

What you really need tho is a Biamp mr140 or similar

BitQuest. It doesn't get muddy and keeps all of your lows intact (I use a Meatbox in front of mine). Goes from roomish to huge halls/ambient stuffs. Had it on there for years now. Just does the trick.

I’ve tried a lot - had a RV-5 and didn’t love it, had a Hall of Fame, didn’t love it, had a Cathedral - sold it, re-bought another one because I really liked the tone knob and the tweakability and the different options. I’m no fan of the shimmer craze so that one meets all my needs even if it doesn’t have all the hot options.

Actually now that I think about it, I made a reverb thread for bass thread a while back? Might be some good suggestions if you want to do a little digging.

If you're still looking, Nimbus SE is back in stock in the Iron Ether store.
