Death By Audio Room Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Death By Audio's Rooms reverb pedal is a playground for sonic exploration, delivering a wide array of unique and captivating reverb tones that inspire creativity. Its ergonomic design and user-friendly interface make it a joy to manipulate, while the diverse modes—from subtle room sounds to expansive, modulated textures—invite experimentation. However, it struggles to accurately replicate traditional spring or plate reverbs, and some users may encounter digital artifacts. Priced at $395, it may not suit those seeking straightforward effects, but for adventurous musicians willing to dive deep into sound design, Rooms offers a rewarding experience that stands out in today's market.

Death By Audio's Rooms reverb pedal offers a deep and expansive sonic palette, delivering lush and versatile reverbs that cater to both traditional and experimental tastes. Its intuitive setup, with eight control knobs and six unique reverb algorithms, allows for creative exploration without the hassle of complex menus. However, the lack of preset storage may frustrate those accustomed to modern programmable effects. While the pedal excels in crafting rich sounds, it demands a hands-on approach that might not suit everyone. For adventurers in sound design, Rooms is a treasure trove, but those seeking convenience might feel left out.

This is the one!

This is the only reverb pedal that has ever inspired me. I’ve had it for 24 hours and have used it for at least 10. I don’t need presets, but the alt switch is great. In that mode you can use an expression pedal. I imagine I will be keeping this one!
