Oh, bleh.

Why is everyone doing a does-everything reverb pedal but choosing all the same algorithms. We need wackier shit. I want reverb that simulates non-Euclidean spaces god damn it.

Funny. A big company pedal trying to look like a small boutique pedal... dunno, seems a bit strange in a way... interesting nonetheless!

Late to the party, any clips? Reminds me of a Catalinbread with sorta cheesy graphics. Interested to hear it.

It's basically a rehoused rv-7 (Which I have and like). Same algos except halo instead of gated. I'm sure over at tgp they will act like one is far superior to the other soundwise.

It also has a smaller footprint than the RV-7. Since the two RV-7's on my overcrowded board are must-haves, I am looking forward to them.

Graphic is ok, I don't hate it... What I do hate are those face mount bolts... Anyway it is Digitech and I have a Metal Master so that's enough...

Like a Reverb version of the particle? Only makes reverb out of certain sections of your signal, processed in weird ways...

Or just run a fully wet particle in a fully wet context in parallel to your dry signal.

That sounds like the description that was used for the iStomp shimmer. .

How does that one sound?

I've been kind of bummed I was never able to land one of the iStomps when they were like 99 cents or whatever -- I mean, I don't think I really wanted it/would use it but I should've picked one up when they were cheap just to fuck with.

So you can't adjust the wet/dry level for the reverse like the RV7? Aww bummer. This is a deal breaker for me, I was hoping this would be fixed. Sigh :(.
