I’ve had this pedal for over a year and forgot all the cool things it does. It’s nice to go back every once in a while and re-learn what a pedal does. I take screen shots of the settings and then go try them out.
I use this on my Micro terror and it gives it tons of versatility that just wasn't available before. Anyone looking for a budget awesome starter rig for ambience should consider a Micro terror dark with the fx loop, a 12 inch celestion vintage speaker, a carbon copy, MXR reverb. It's a stunningly versatile little setup. If you look for good deals this can be had for around 450, add a nice mid priced guitar, and for under a grand you can make awesome sound.
Well worth the wait. MXR really knocked it out of the park with this one. You can spend hours playing/creating just on the Pad and Epic settings. I was guilty of this before checking out the plate and spring modes, which also sound great. Also blends super well with other effects pedals.
I love that you go into Down In the Park at the end. That effect is perfect for it. Sort of an alien encounter. I'm going to have to try that on mine! Life-long Numan fan!
Wow. I just watched you demo a bunch of reverb pedals, and I think that this is the one I am looking for -- it has just the right mix of great sounding regular old geezer type reverbs and shimmery freakzoidal neumatic reverbs. MXR has made great stuff for such a long time. Right now, my pedal board has five MXR pedals on it -- Custom Comp, la machine, Phase 90 plus a Flanger and Carbon Copy in the loop. I think I am going to have to make room for a sixth.
FWIW, the MXR has a Sharc Processor like the strymons. It's not a coincidence if it sounds similar. Most reverbs these days are just another belton brick or Spin FV-1. Not in this case.
Got mine yesterday - this thing is awesome! I searched for a alternative to my '63 Reverb Tank (90s Reissue) for the pedalboard - and I found it. It can do so much more. Now I'm waiting for the Echoplex Delay!!
That's precisely what I wanted to hear in this demo and I didn't (not particularly at all), since most digital reverbs do a great job at hall/pads/room/shimmer etc., but a rather poor job at spring...
Wow. I particularly Loved the Guitar Playing, in The Epic Mode. Andy is so Versatile and Such a Tasty Player. I Really Enjoy listening to you play guitar, and demonstrate these Pedals & Effects. Few . . . ( if any? ) - Do It Better.
Huh, I really like MXR, I only own them and EQD and a helix hooked to a Bugera v22 infinim. I LOVE it! Recommend me brands for good ambient pedals if you know of any cool ones!
Does the pedal retain the expression pedal settings after the power is off? Also, can the expression be set so that the heel is, say, spring and the toe down is plate? In other words, can it switch modes with the expression pedal?
Is it normal that when I have this pedal on, when I turn the other pedals on or off I hear the click sound way louder than when I have de mxr m300 off??
TheJofrica yeah it does.. I just got the pedal and I personally don't like the octave down effect so I only use the octave up. This pedal is amazing though and it is definitely one of the best reverbs out there
I have that pedal. I haven't tried a lot of muff pedals to compare but it's one of my favorite pedals. It does the smashing pumpkins/Weezer thing, black keys, and classic rock tones. I bought it for $40 and returned my $165 earthquaker devices hoof fuzz.
I have both the HOF and HOF Mini (never buy the Mini!). I've had problems with the TC Electronics reliability here and there, even though I love the sounds. If I had to choose, I would take this over the TC Electronics. Simple knob turning beats presets and other stuff that can go wrong.
When it comes to reverbs, I think the newer the better. They are always improving on old pedals and introducing new sounds with the reverbs. HOF is seriously outdated by this time in my opinion. There are great shootout videos of these pedals. Check out Ryan Lutton's channel, he does a shootout that includes this, the HOF, Strymon, and other ones
Never thought I would actually purchase a Rever pedal, but this thing is amazing. It will literally change the way you approach playing guitar. Of all my fx pedals, this is my favorite.
Sold me. Just ordered one to replace my Walrus Slo. The Slo is an okay reverb pedal but I barely use all the extra features. I just want a solid sounding reverb and I love MXR stuff so I'm excited for this.
@Neon Thunderbird yep the Slo is cool just not for what I need it for. How do you like the MXR? I love the Mod, plate and spring settings. Epic is cool too.
I had the m300 and foolishly thought I could do better. Sold it and got a Strymon Flint which was good but I missed the MXR. Then the Flint got annoying and just added it’s own sound to my rig that I didn’t like so off it went. I then added a Keeley Caverns v2 which I used for a few short months before selling that and buying another brand new MXR M300 Reverb and I’m happy again. It’s not going anywhere this time. Internally upping the voltage to 20v with (CHT) constant headroom technology makes all the difference. The M300 plays nice with every other pedal I’ve used. It’s actually my favorite pedal. ✌🏻
@@brianrollins7275 The Flint is so unbelievably overrated. People forget it's kinda old and does that digitalizer thing that makes your tone sound so generic and cheesy. For its time it was ok, but yeah pedals like the MXR are just so much better and natural sounding
Seems he's trying to sell the expression pedal. What if you don't want to use an expression pedal? What do you lose? And what does the "Push to Cycle" function give you?
Cue Zephyr, unless you are in a studio or playing ambient guitar, you probably don't need to waste your money on a Strymon. There is a lot of hype surrounding them and it drives up the price for something you are not going to hear when you play with a band and it gets all washed in.
I would use it at home for writing or in the studio only, not in a band. A used BlueSky is usually cheaper than the Neunaber or MXR too, since they're newer.
That's not true,there's no hype around Strymon pedals they are the real deal and can get you ANY reverb or delay sounds you would ever need and the sound quality the stereo image the depth and fatness if their tone is superb and inspires you to p,at in a different way and everything just sounds as it should be EPIC.
Great quality clip... cheers. Does this do Freeze/Hold??? After 20+ years I've decided hold, freeze, and reverb are the 'Delay' I've been searching for all this time. Long time owner, user, and huge fan of the ZCat Hold Reverb... a piece of genius... interestingly, outside of EHX, no other companies have tried to rip off the freeze/hold until this product... even the big players don't get the freeze right (hello B@ss TE2 and ME25)... Freeze/hold effect must be a monster of an effect to design. I would pay money (pay real dollars) for a freeze effect as good as ZCat or EHX that can run off a 9v battery.
