reverb with headroom

Post by gunslinger_burrito »

I saw there's already a "recommend me a reverb pedal" thread, so yell at me if you will....but I had a more specific question.

I need a new 'verb because I've been using this EHX Holy Stain for-ever. It's alright. The tone could be better, etc. What I like about it is that it can do full-wet, and it has a tone control, both of which are useful for when I'm making noise. However, it dirties my guitar tone when I want to play regular songs, and sometimes even sounds like it's clipping a bit.

SOOOOOOOOO: Reverb with headroom, and all those other functions? I was thinking an Iron Ether Nimbus, since I play a lot of doom. I thought it would be conducive to the down tuning, etc. Any other thoughts?

Redirect me to a pre-existing thread if it holds my answers.

you guyz are da best :hello:

Shimverb takes a beating, surprisingly. Also the 1776 Reverb build also sounds good with dirt and you can mod it to have a volume boost knob. I love the 1776!

RRR has dat level/mix as mentioned before. The Supernatural handles the lows pretty well. I love droning/oscillating low tones through it. Doesn't have a level control but it has never had a volume drop in the time I've been playing with it, it usually makes everything sound bigger and spatial, like a reverb should.

I like when a nice spring reverb gets that overdriven tone, but I totally see the appeal of a high-headroom, clean reverb too. The digital reverbs seem to do this really well!

i love the rrr when it gets heavy
not sure what to call
what i play
but try to get it heavy as possible
and the boost helps
was also led in the direction
of the ghost echo
never tried it
but hope to someday
full wet is awesome though
with a bunch of delay

People with rrr's eventually buy a second. It's greatness and I think it's the basis for all reverbs it just sounds great, nothing gimmicky about it and will always be the most suggested around here. That being said I just got a muza fd900 and I dig the reverb sounds, they are HUGE but very crisp, a different type of animal from the RRR. They both have great mixing features, and the muza has a standalone tone control.

I'm finding that my V4 spring reverb is the most beautiful sounding reverb ever when it decides to work. It doesn't like the low end very much and cuts out randomly.

The RRR will definitely do the trick, but some settings can sound super harsh on the high end when you do the 100 percent wet thing.
