Mooer - ShimVerb and SkyVerb Comparison 

Another great demo Henning - funny, informative and a thorough demonstration of what the products can do. Also the first time in 30 years of playing that I've heard someone give a proper explanation of how reverb works. Well done! The shimmer mode reminded me of Steve Rothery's sound, one of my favourite players.

Hey Purple Haze, I cannot answer to your comment directly... stupid RU-vid... Well... you are wrong. I do use these chinese pedals quite a bit because there is pretty much no different when it comes to parts and build quality. Analog pedals are easy to make and most companies really rip you off, letting you think that spending more gets you a better sound. When it comes to digital pedals it looks a bit different, the chinese just don't have the programmers and the ears to make it sound like the real deal. That said, these two reverbs are great for the money and I have had the Shimverb on my board for live gigs... now I have a Strymon Big Sky and, yeah, I'd be an idiot not to use it. but it is also 500 bucks compared to 80. And there are boards where the Big Sky is just too big and the Mooer might come min handy. Saying the chinese stuff is crap is stupid, sorry man... why would you say that? What about it is crap? Have you used a Movall pedal, for example.. super heavy quality... killer sound. As I said, the analog stuff is very easy and cheap to make. Spending 150 to 300 bucks on an overdrive is crazy when the parts cost less than 20 bucks... big discussion and it has been had over and over... Oh... and the Yellow Comp makes it on EVERY board I make... you said it is useless, but be more specific... it is useless for your needs and for what you want from a compressor. I love it... it adds a lot of attack and spices up the high end... great for clean country licks or arpeggiated chords.

The next best thing to getting the pedals and playing with them - so many YT reviews don't go through options so thoroughly and clearly. Thanks!

Clearest explanation of reverb (and tone!) I've heard. Thank you!

You have a great sense of humor. This was a very entertaining video. Thank You for posting. Cheers

This guy kept me entertained the whole way through all 40 minutes, and I've made my decision thanks to you sir!!! Skyverb it is!!!

This video is like being in the living room with this guy having a beer while trying a couple of pedals right there, in the moment. He goes with the flow and plays whatever the sound is making him feel, which is much better than usual reverb pedal videos, where they play styles that have nothing to do with the real use you're gonne give the pedal (i.e., play a blues shuffle with cathedral reverb, wtf?)

"Hugidity. Sizitiveness. Largeskity." Oh man, I love it. Thanks for the longer demo btw. Really struggling to choose between these two!

nice, Lord Varys

great video m going for the sky verb!

EytschPi42 great demo, as always! I really like Mooer, have a reecho that sounds killer and a blues mood for overdriven tones, mixed with expensive other pedals and there's absolutely no signal quality loss when coming through the mooer stuff. i'm actually thinking of selling some of my other boutique crap and buying the mooer version, its cheaper and smaller, and has proven to stand the test of time (over 2 years of playing pretty much every day). Loved the PRS guitar sounds like the son of a les paul and a strat, could you do a demo? DO A DEMO!

How are these minipedals on other instruments like synths and drum machines?

Thanks, that was entertaining, really liked the ghost dogs, and I got a lot out of it, Thank you for taking the time to make the video, it definitely helped shape my opinion. Peace from America.

I like this video, the explanation of reverb is very interesting, for those of us who are just starting to stack our pedals, and get confused such as of the differences between flangers, reverbs, choruses and such. I hope he explains the rest of the Mooer pedals, since I already have purchased 5 of them, lol...

This guy is crazy as a bedbug but knows his stuff. I like the way he doesn't talk down to people, he expects his viewers to have a minimum level of intelligence.

Great explanation of what a reverb does. Thanks!

Great!The tone is ok, atmosfere is relaxing, jokes are stupid but that is popular these days.Super review 10/10.Great job!

This guy is FUCKING HILARIOUS and made me laugh several times. Great tutorial but even better job making me laugh!

The Shimverb sounds amazing with analog synths. I've got a TD-3 running into a Reecho and then a Shimverb. Might have to grab a skyverb too.. I kinda like the echoey feel of the church setting.

Awsome dude! My first mooer pedal is a bass sweeper and i like this pedals so much. Thanks for the review.

It's a shame that you can't tune the shimmer but I suppose that would be a more complex, larger and pricier unit. The shimmer seems to be a 5th up and might have been better and less complicated musically if it was set to an octave. I like messing with the order of my effects. Putting a tremolo or chorus after the reverb can be interesting which is a little like the trick the ShimVerb does but with more control. Very nice, comprehensive review.

Dude you are hilarious!!!! Epic review man great job. I hope to mayby get the sky verb sometime soon

Subscribing to your channel. Funny and thorough reviews from what I've seen. And you've expanded my vocabulary. (Was that "hugosity" you said?) Re: your question at the end of the delay shootout: My girlfriend prefers beer.

Man, you are the best! Very good video.

Nice review, well done. Thanks for posting.

great illustration of reverb effects

great video xd i watched it, bought shimverb and then watched it once again - how cool is that xD? Will there be any more reverb pedals in near future? Or choruses? Or delays? Or anything that is not OD/distortion/fuzz/booster/etc? :D

"Cathedral, which of course is a hugh ass church" :D That was pretty funny! Great vid and great sounds. Interested in the Mooer pedals.

Oh and this guy is great!! Him and Pete Thorn rock!!

I like the ShimVerb better 'cause I like the spring and shimmer. Guess I'll be getting this pedal. The spring setting sounds like the old spring reverb tanks and you can get that "drippy" sound as in beach music. The shimmer setting sounds like an organ playing along with the guitar.

No Mooer overdrives? Ask Jason for a Blues Mood, its as transparent as a sheet of glass, as for Distortion the Solo sounds like the name implies. I may ask for ask for one of those Ana Echo delays myself, it's the delay sound I've been trying to find like and x girlfriend from 25 years ago.

Great job, man! Amazing video, thank you!

Lovily!! cant decide witch pedal i prefer!

great video m going for the sky!

A fretless Jazzbass through a Marshall MB30, wich one would fit better if any?

Typically German; so thorough. Love it. New sub.

Good work. Thank you for the master class...

Sehr cooler Akzent, netter Typ, tolle Präsentation! Abo!

thank you! great demo!

I really like the Mooer products. However, i noticed some serious tonesuck with the Shimverb, while modulation effects and verbs/ delays should keep your original tone. It seems to eat LOTS of high end. That's a pity, seen as I like the possibilities of the pedal. Haven't you noticed any problems while testing these?

Good review ! Skyverb is nice. It sounds warm and natural. Shimverb is horrible. Sounds thin, fully digital, and the shimmer without octave notes but sounding fifth ??? No way

Thank you, I learned a lot

Very fun and educative!

which would u choose for hard rock lead tones? the reverb on my DSL40c is crappy & useless, im using a Quattro delay, mixed back,right now.. i want a small,cheap reverb for my PT Nano. the Htnone & Jyo both got bad reviews.. are either one of these appropriate to add subtle,always-on rock verb? the skyverb plate sounded very nice

Hi H.P. ;-) tolle Videos (dieses und das mit dem Yellow Comp). Ich wünschte mir, Mooer würde Dir viel mehr Pedale zur Verfügung stellen, damit Du mal die Eleclady vorstellen und nochmal erklären kannst, was ein Flanger genau macht. Schön wäre auch ein Verzerrertest, mit ALLEN Verzerrern von Mooer ;-) Nochwas: auf der Messe 2014 hatte Mooer ein "Pro" Delay (mit separatem Tap Tempo) da rumliegen. Hast Du irgendeine Info, wann das herauskommt?

Just got a ShimVerb today... thought I would test out if it's worth getting an EHX Oceans 11... but I actually love the synthy metallic sound u get at maxed settings. It's perfect for Goth & Darkwave stuff

Good vid ! Thanks you keep rocking !

me at the beginning: wow 40 minutes for two pedals? unnecessary. me at the end: how did I watch the whole video? very entertaining haha btw I don't know which pedal should I buy, shimmer sounds like I don't know how to use in actual songs.

Seems like a 5th is added on top in shimmer mode of the ShimVerb. I kind of like it for the money. After a year, any quality control issues? Thanks.

cool stuff, but I am so glad I spent all my allowance on a Strymon Big Sky. It is amazing!!!

I like the sky Verb best out of these two but love the trinity 2 best.

Is both reverb pedals can be use in bass guitar. Or which one should you prefer? Thank you ☺️

16:17 HAEE bub bub bub bub, you know?

The lights on all pedals I've ever used are too bright unless you're playing under direct sunlight. Also why don't all pedals have silent switches?

Since you had both at hand, I was hoping for some testing of whether both pedals could interact in an interesting way. For instance, could you thicken the shimering with the skyverb ?

The Skyverb is for me, but great both

Nice video thanks

23:04 for the real spring reverb sound

Let say im doing 80's rock. Which reverb is more suitable the shim or sky?

Ive bought the mooer cruncher on lazada but its is defective, a loud clicking sound in my amp when you switch the effect on.... im using voodoo lab power supply... ???

Hi, I want to know... are they Digital? True Bypass? thanks

Reverb deosn't have to be last, tremolo after reverb is cool

boss rv5 is better so far than skyverb? ( almots doble of the price...worth?"

Hope they make this two pedal in one

How come the studio isnt in the shot anymore??

Great video bud!

And I wanted to ask if you can make a review of some hi-gain distortion pedals or Byang firm pedals?

Nice tune to end at 35 minutes. One of yours?

I am currently Mooerless

nice playing from 25:13 to 26:00!

Hugerific Huge-idity!!!! Hilarious. Great Demo, you make it more personal. Cheers.

i will use it to strumming, what you think is the best?

Compared to the Joyo Spaceverb, which one sounds best?

Shim or Sky ?

Are you still doing the airport transfers at Berlin airport?

spells buyayayaya great sping imitation

Great demo thank you. Skyverb sounds great, Shimverb not so great.

Me gustan los pedales cuanto cuestan cada uno??

iugitdity - this is just great - boooiiiing!

Hey Henning. I just got a Shimverb. When I put it in the fx loop of my Helix, I get a significant volume decrease. Send / return / mix all are set to factory. 0bb,0db, and 100%. any thoughts?

Pretty darn good demo. Oh,by the way... grow the hair back....I didn't hear any mention of amp your going through.....

I really could not care less how mooer is pronounced (it's made in China, and who knows how THEY say it ?). Anyway I ve had the shimkverb for 3 years now and love it.

Which drums are you using?

Well, if you're going to spend FORTY minutes demo-ing two mini reverb pedals, you had better be entertaining. And you are, sir. Well done.

to acoustic guitar, wich one is the best?

Are they true bypass tho?

32:30 nice sound + play , but 33:30 Metaaall !!

Люблю ваши видео)

I think the decay isn't about the size of the room, but how long the reverb will stay..

Are you Danish?

So ShimVerb or SkyVerb?

i have shimverb, when it's on shimmer mode, it gives fifth of the notes, it can be shitty sometimes, like on A minor, B note gives F#.

22:18 lol 😂😂😂

Jesus I was drifting off to sleep then.....😳

Seven minutes in and still haven't heard the pedal. Bye

that face hahahahah hilarious!

No

Muita conversa e pouco teste.

i havent,t understand nothing....i was sleeped with the reverb sound :(

Less blathering and more playing please.
