Reverb, Echo

I love my hardwire reverb. Excellent plate sounds and very nice spring aswell. The modulation setting is great got ambient sounds and the reverse is really fun.
As far as Echos go the FAB Echo did the trick but the carbon copy, memory boy and nova delay have all nailed a great slapback

The echo machine has a reverse mode though. Suppose you set the repeats quite low you might get away with it.

Fab echo was decent, but it wasn't WYLD enough for me. Too tame for my dwarfcraft heavy pedal board.

To be honest, there isn't a whole lot out there that can hang with Dwarfcraft. EHX has always been good about going the extra 20% into funky-town.

I've heard those marshall pedals go pretty bawz out. Wish they still made them.

I had one. Sounded great for a Â£10 pedal but didn't go crazy through my TSA for some reason

EHX all the way, they make sweet stuff, especially for reverb and echo.

this is the new cathedral reverb, its one of the best reverb pedals I have ever heard, it does a little echo stuff too.

affordable and good reverb : dano spring king and ehx holy grail, holy grail muffles your sound a bit i must say but it really nice sounding reverb for a digital pedal, found the flerb a bit useless. dano spring king has a fun kickpad (and real spring i'm pretty sure) but takes up lots of space

kickpad?

also i would love to use dwarfcraft pedals combined with that dano spring king and kick the kickpad thing, i think it would do lots of fun sounds. or with a synth pedal like that behringer bass synth on it. dammit i wanna try this. but no spring king

Yes. I use the reverb machine its easily the best value for money reverb out there. Got mine for Â£40.
Is the reverb a digital effect or is there a real reverb unit in it?

real reverb units are an actual tank with a spring or plate in it to physically create the reverb. no pedals have real reverb units in them. otherwise they'd go *clang* every time you stepped on them. anyway, a "real" reverb unit is no more real than a digital one. they're just using two different methods of simulating something. the old analog methods have a certain stylistic element to them that's been popular but the digital ones are far more flexible and sound way more like real world reverb.

EDIT: oh except maybe that dano spring king Kim just posted. that may have an actual spring it.

I think they're cheaper than the hardwire aswell.
Sweet they have those at GC... I'll try one out.

yea dude, I have that one. it's great. you can totally cop MBV sounds with the reverse reverb. just turn the level knob all way up so it's 100% wet reverb and then push the trem arm while you strum a chord.

also, you can get them for like $40 on eBay.

sold and sold!

or you could get the real deal shiz:

kevin shields used it with the "early reflections" setting. people don't use multi-effects rack units like this that much anymore, everyone just uses protools plugins and whatnot. so you can get them for relatively inexpensive now, around $100.

yeah... that's complicated looking. Plus I'd need a rack or something for it.

Stomp boxes are handy and smaaaaalll.

heh, nah, I thought that too but they have one here at my school and it's just like a little LCD menu deal. you just scroll through the settings until you get to what you want.

I was so closed to happy and GASless... you fuckers need to stop opening my eyes to new sonic possibilities.

wait, did they stop making the reflector or the echohead?

reflector is the only pedal that's stayed on my pedalboard all the time. it's gotta be pushing two years that i've had it now.

Going by the website they're still making both. You never see marshall pedals in the shops though.
