NPD x2: Supermoon and Dark Echo.
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2013 5:02 am
After seeing the Supermoon Chrome demo, I decided I wanted one of the pedals, but after watching more demos, I realized that I liked the more subtle effect of the original better. I also liked the color scheme of the original more than the inverted art on the chrome. But then also I found a demo for the same maker's delay pedal, watched the demo and fell in love.
They're both modulated with a sway effect that adds a really spacey sound. Both in single space boxes. Nice switches on each.
Supermoon: Bought new from PGS. Holy crap. I love this thing. The reverb is actually pretty subtle, but the sustain and sway effect last fo' days. The box is well constructed, the black paint is sparkly, which I did not notice from the demos or website. Sounds great through the musicmaster bass and the greta.
Dark Echo: Bought used on ebay from Dawn of the Shred in the LBC (hometown shout out). I bought this as an afterthought to the supermoon based purely on the ad copy.
"What if you could play your guitar in a desolate cave 20,000 leagues under the sea? I pondered this question as I designed the Dark Echo; and when the lab-coat came off, the wet-suit went on and lush echos trailed into oblivion, progressively darkening with every repeat. I dialed the repeat knob to maximum and I was up to my ears in a fluid wash of sound, ebbing and flowing like the tides of the ocean."
My brief time playing it confirms the that ad copy is accurate and not mere puffery.
tl:dr Went on reverb/delay buying binge, no regrets. Recommend both.
