After the smashing success that was the Poly-Octaver demo (http://www.ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=28088) I've now done a demo for my other Z.Cat pedal - the Big Reverb. This one's been on my board for a few years and it's not leaving any time soon - I like it more than most everything else out there. I'm currently exporting part 2 of the demo, so stay tuned!
Part 1 - just the reverb

And part 2 - reverb and tasty effects

Heh heh..
It's nice to contribute to others getting GAS - considering how much other ILFers have DESTROYED my bank account...

Re: Z.Cat Big Reverb demo
really considering getting one of these. does it produce ANY noise at all/does it work well anywhere in the chain?

Re: Z.Cat Big Reverb demo
Hmm... feel like I'm on the spot now, but I've never noticed that it is noisy, and I run my rig really loud so I usually notice noise. But I've got a nice power supply, humbuckers, and I run the amp and all the effects off the one ground, so there are no ground loops anywhere... but in my rig it's quiet as a mouse and I can't see any reason why it would be noisy anywhere else. The guitarist in my other band, Digression Assassins uses the Spring Reverb (which is also rad, if you like spring reverb) and he is less fussy with his rig than I am and it's also really quiet. I've only ever run it after distortion and stuff because I like reverb last in the chain, but it plays nicely with everything. I've run a trem after it though, and it sounds good as well. I've got a switchable input buffer on my board and it doesn't affect the sound at all, so as far as I can tell the pedal is pretty bullet proof, when it comes to noise, placement, build. It's current draw is reasonable as well, 60-70mA.
