Hungry Robot Starlite

Post by casecandy »

Pretty psyched for this one.

"World's First Tap Tempo Modulating Reverb."

I have his earlier ambient reverb, the Stargazer, and can verify from personal exp. that it's one hell of a pedal.

Eric is an amazing guy, too, a real mensch.

Good price this time around, too.

He told me he wasn't going to do it for the longest time because the way he was doing it would have been over $300, but he reworked the design to drive the price down to under $200.

From the site:
The Starlite is the world's 1st modulated reverb with tap tempo controlled rate. The release of this pedal marks a giant leap forward in the world of time-based effects and will revolutionize how you use and experience reverb.

The Starlite is an offshoot of my ever-popular "Stargazer" reverb. The Stargazer is known for being an extremely musical reverb. I expanded upon the ambient capabilities of The Stargazer and pushed the circuit to its limits. The Starlite features a more atmospheric, present reverb with the same self-oscillation capabilities. The addition of thick, pulsating modulation makes The Starlite the ultimate ambient experience.

The tap tempo feature allows you to accurately synchronize your reverb to the tempo you are playing as well as the other time-based effects, adding a rhythmic dimension to your reverberations.

what is the point of tap tempo modulation? Usually modulation on reverbs is both subtle and slowish, neither warrants tap tempo. No doubt a cool pedal but what am I missing here?

I think this is less subtle. It says "thick, pulsating modulation" so it probably works well for rhythmic stuff.
