TC Hall Of Fame Reverb

Gabriel · Post by **Gabriel** » Mon Jun 03, 2013 9:16 am

Does anyone have any experience with this pedal?

I'm looking to get a new a reverb pedal this week and the flexibility with the toneprint editor makes this pedal look quite appealing.

However I do also have my eye on the Strymon Blue Sky, but that is about twice the price and I don't think it's twice as good.

Any other recommendations for reverb pedals around the Â£100 mark? I'd like as much adjustment as possible really and I prefer a hall or plate reverb sound.

edit: oops meant reverb not delay pedals

For that sort of money I'd recommend a verbzilla. So much to play with and lots of settings.

Aye and the Behringer Reverb Machine is apparently a pretty exact clone for a mere 32 quid from Amazon. It's jolly good, though I'm no expert on reverbs.

I'd just say be cautious of the buffer on the behringer though, if that would bother u

As for the delay, the TC Electronics Nova Repeater looks to be the most versatile delay I have ever seen. I've seen quite a few pop up for $100 used before.

I've read that having the trails turned on can be a tone sucker, but not a concern if tails aren't needed (i.e you'll be turning it on and off during a tune. This might be a factor on Verbzilla too, though I don't know.

I've found a bit of distortion on my Behringer. Need to play around with it more to see if it's only certain modes, or levels. But, it's kind of annoying.

I'm interested in other's opinions on the hall of fame too.

The Digitech Hardwire Reverb is spoken very highly of. Regarding delay, i'd pick up a used Boss DD7.

Buy it for the Church setting alone. It's built really well and it has some really lovely settings on there. I tend to stick with the Hall, Plate and Church settings. I pretty much leave it on all the time.

My only complaint is that it's a bit 'clinical' sounding. I don't think it's as natural as the EHX Holy Grail for instance, but then you have the bonus of their being a Tone knob on the TC so you can make the reverbs a bit darker as to not sound too 'nice'

I dunno... I think for the money they're the best built reverbs out there at the moment. The Strymon Blue Sky is lovely but I'm not sure it's Â£250 lovely.

I don't know if you can find one secondhand (they're $189 new), but I really like the Source Audio Dimension Reverb. They are sort of ugly pedals, but they sound great (rack quality in a pedal) and are very tweakable. You can save 2 presets as well. It has a lot of settings to choose from (my favorites are the e-dome, modulated, plates).
