If you buy a CXM then you also need to get a neon sign with your fake name to hang in your bedroom.

Re: expensive reverbs
Thing is tempting... I get tempted by it every now and then... but... I question things like:
Is a pedal version just mostly gimmick/expensive toy?
Will it sound better than older lexicon rack unit you can pick up cheep?
What is the noise floor?
What is the cost trade-off between looks/flying faders vs the actual sounds?
Are those sliders a good idea for function or is this just looks?
The thing seems so nostalgia / trendyvintage / driven compared to a useful tool that it's hard to gauge unless you get to demo one yourself...

Re: expensive reverbs
I can't see any reverb pedal or device being worth $900. To me anyway.
The first thing I said when I heard about this was "why wouldn't I just buy a vintage rack unit if I wanted this EXACT SOUND?". I think the market for people who really want THIS SPECIFIC REVERB is gonna be tiny. But the people who want things with motorised sliders go brrrrr is probably higher

Re: expensive reverbs
If it don't drip, it won't sit. The fader game is pretty cool, and allegedly the thing is P versatile, but I don't have first hand experienceoscillofuzz wrote:So, this being the expensive reverbs thread, did anyone preorder a CXM 1978? I almost considered returning my Zoia and preordering one but then realized importing a $900 pedal after shipping and taxes is almost a €1100 pedal and the Zoia is a lot more versatile at half the price. Maybe I could justify it if I actually did studio work but alas I don't...
Whens that light pedal coming out?

Re: expensive reverbs
Forgot about that one. The demos made me the most interested in spring reverb that I’ve been in years, which kind of understates it.JonnyAngle wrote: Whens that light pedal coming out?

Re: expensive reverbs
I could never justify buying it because of the price, but even if i would my fear of motorized sliders fucking up at some point would stop me anyways.coldbrightsunlight wrote:I can't see any reverb pedal or device being worth $900. To me anyway.

I hate sliders. Considering how i play/use/carry around my board the chances of dirt getting in the holes and crateing problems are too damn high - and i say it cause i've been - and i'm still - using two pedals with sliders since forever.

Re: expensive reverbs
900 buckachoonies?! I've seen proper plates for that money. Here I am thinking I can't afford buying a quadraverb

Re: expensive reverbs
m8 I wouldn't buy a plate for $900. They're like £2 at IKEA
