Good choice if you want all your low end to disappear into a black hole, even when the pedal is off.

Spring Theory in hall mode sounds unbelievably great.


yea the muza is great until u realize that. atleast on mine (not sure if they are all like that). low end. gone.

behringer reverb machine is what i'm rocking now. small, very slight tonal difference when u switch it on/off. took me awhile to notice it, and its not a super huge biggie for me (not like the muza low end loss). the reverbs are awesome, altho hard to select/know which verb u selected, especially in a dark room (as i found out at my show on friday) lol. I had to shield the super extra bright blue LED so i could see the controls in the dark.

also been using a boss half rack at home, it is super gnarly. VERY EVIL sounding.

u mean like the actual units some of the effects are modelled after?

no not really, maybe a few of them. like DL4 tube echo, etc. no strymons or fancy shit for me :(

i was really impressed with not only the verbs, but also the delays and the modulations...its really simple to use!

altho i ran out of processing power with like 3 fx on. soooo not sure how you're supposed to get 6 (not sure its really even necessary)

Three fx or more at once? I'm getting more and more sold on the Zoom. Definitely tilting towards one with much less temptation towards an M-9 for ambient tweakery.

its pretty fucking good sounding, and I was expecting much less. ambienceeeeeeeee galour. no noticeable tone suck.
u can go up to 6 fx at once. (independent on/off switching for each effect!) but it depends on which fx u choose, b/c some of them take more processing power than others.

its also really easy to switch fx and tweak knobs on the fly. no lag or glitch when switching around

My Muza never had the toan problem, but the jacks were always loose and it had a weird hiss at the end of some reverb types :lol:
Just think of each Muza as having its own quirks.

buy a supernatural, just do it.

my other recommendation would be an RV5

i have had grail/cathedral/stain/rrr/boostRVB/ghost echo

and the RV5 kicked all their buts

alot of it is the soft switch and trails

to me a reverb without trails is pretty silly

fetch wrote:I'm checking out the Eterna and the Super Natural right now. I'm definitely leaning more towards the Super Natural - anyone who's had both of them care to explain how the difference in the "liveliness" knob and the "shimmer"? I kind of understood the "liveliness" to be a tone control whereas the "shimmer" was simply like a flutter type one?

Does anyone find either pedal to be noisy? I don't mind a bit of noise but generally would prefer it quiet so I can add the noise from another source.



I have owned both (didn't read this far before I answered)
Eterna was pretty good but not as versitile as the supernatural felt like I had more control over the actual shimmer tones on the hardwire, not sure how to describe it.

It actually makes you sound like the soundtrack to 2001
