early RRR vs mini

[Ryan]

Yeah maybe.. I think bass content is an important reverb quality though, could affect the sound nicely...

[Casavettes]

Most definitely

Hi,
Since everyone is talking about the upcoming model of the reverberator...
To be honest, i persobaly dont feel the need of any more function/knobs for this pedal. I think Ryan's vision was "spot on" with the way he made it simple. Sometimes too many tweaking options are just "too many".
If anything bigger is comming, I would rather see for instance, a doubled set of the same controls, so that you could toggle between two presets. I think that would made it easy to gig with just one pedal. And I believe(correct me if i am wrong) that it can be done using relay switching and an aditional footswitch to A/B between the two sets/ and switch leds. That would definately be a bigger box tough...
Stereo outs may be nice for studio work(altough i prefer mono guitar fx), or even wet/dry routing to allow shooting the effect seperately to another amp if required.
An fx loop(altough i would probably never use it) could make custom options available, like creating a pre delay (with a delay unit on the loop set wet signal only and one repeat) to sort of generate that delayed attack for the reverb, if desired...or the use of modulation pedals, or even equalize or overdrive the reverb...

The Reverberator is simple mainly because I can't change much about it.. I can't do anything to the patches except in the analog domain. I can make them louder, mix them with dry signal, or change their EQ, but that's it. I think if I add stereo ins and outs and the effects loop it'll be in more line with my current style of building, powerful but intuitive.

HEEEEEY friends.

I wasn't aware that there is a newer Reverberator being built. From what I gather, it will have stereo functions and an FX loop? Or something like that?

I'd never had a use for a reverb pedal, at least for live use, but I'm finding that with a lot of the recordings I'm doing I'd like to have one handy for vocal and keyboard effects. I'm sure the Reverberator would cover me quite well, just wondering if I should wait a bit for the Ultimate version.


Thanks yo.

It's pretty far off, Christian.. not even bread boarded yet actually. That's my plan though, finish this run of minis, another 100 or so, and then develop a stereo RRR with FX loop. The summer is probably a reasonable time frame for having it ready.. it'll be several months at least... I'll send you one of the prototype builds to check out if you like, when I get to that stage.

Hey Ry Ry.

Ok... I figured the thing was still pretty inchoate. I'll most likely pickup a Mini for my winter recording projects. I used to have an Alesis Nanoverb desktop half-rack unit... it was a cute little box. But it only had a few good sounds and the rotary/Leslie (which I love) sounded atrocious. So I like the idea of having better quality sounds than the Alesis in a similar little package that can also fit on my pedal board.

Thanks!

Do this man...and bring the raindrops back as one of the first finishes. Oh and if the effects loop could be stereo that would be very cool.

[Ryan]

Stereo effects loop for sure!

[bronzetalon]

I can totally see running the ccV3 in the effects loop stereo like

You probably have a gazillion ideas of features for the RRR, but if I could suggest that the effects loop is on the dry path, in parallel with the reverb, or at least switchable so that you can do that. It might just be me, but I prefer reverb & delay to be in parallel.

[Bartimaeus]

An effects loops for reverb is something that I've been dreaming about! (Specifically one that only affects the reverb).
To do this, I've been using a reverb set 100% wet along with a phaser in a loop on my Boss LS2, using the LS2's A+B to mix that with my dry signal.

I think that a tone knob would be a great feature too. One of my favorite features on the Tremolessence is the ability to jack up the treble rather high to get some really crazy bitting sounds(similar to Joy Division's The Atrocity Exhibition).

*Edit: Also, is there any chance of new reverbs? Spring, perhaps, or something else interesting? I know that you can't change the current patches, but is it possible to add new ones? The current ones are great, but I figured that I should ask since features are being discussed.

[Ryan]

There's only two options with the reverb engine in the RRR... use their patches and only their patches, or use your own patches and only your own patches. There's no mixing, there's no adding one or two, it's all or nothing. It's totally beyond my scope to do make my own 9 or try to recreate theirs and add my own so the RRR will forever have the exact same 9 patches.

But I plan on making a new reverb pedal one day with the Spin chip, maybe even multiple patches in the future, and possibly replace the RRR with it.. but that's way way off.
