Has the Star Trek sound
You ever see the old Star Trek shows? The way the opening theme notes would just hang in the air? That must have been a plate reverb. I didn't expect to care about the spring or plate reverbs on this, but was very happily surprised by the plate mode. Found 2 very usable sounds there: For a lot of sustain try Plate mode Level on 2, Tone on 1, and Decay on 10. For Star Trek try Plate mode on Level on 6, Tone on 4, and Decay on 8. The Hall is a very useable mode that thins out your sound less. Spring is frankly a weird choice and I don't understand why that's on here. Does cause a touch of tone suck. The buffer switch is a good feature. TRS jacks are a good feature. Routing switch for TRS is a good feature. Box is slightly wider than most minis, but only by a 1/2". Case looks like brushed aluminum, and the red part is plastic. This is better than the 2008 Fishman AFX reverb (the bigger silver and yellow one) because that was a black hole for volume. You had to crank everything up before and after that pedal. Glad they fixed that. Next they should try to work on addressing that bit of tone suck. Still a cool pedal though, very fun and inspiring. I like it!
