Decent beginner's pedal for relatively cheap

Copied from my Amazon review:


UPDATE: Two things after I've played around with the pedal. One, if you are planning to stick velcro on the bottom to attach to your pedal board, keep in mind that there is a rubber plate on the bottom for grip on regular floor. It is very difficult to attach velcro onto and not wanting to ruin the pedal, I didn't rip it off. I downloaded a paper template online for mini sized TC pedals (e.g for the ditto looper, HOF mini etc) to wrap around the bottom plate, covered the template in duct tape and stuck velcro to that.

The second thing is that YOU NEED A SEPARATE POWER SUPPLY FOR THIS. If you're running an isolated power supply, linking the pedal to the same power supply as other supplies, IT CREATES A HORRIBLE, LOUD NOISE WHEN THE PEDAL IS TURNED ON. Turning down the volume on the guitar or amp or even the pedal didn't affect the noise at all. It scared the living daylights out of me and the rest of my family too. I suspect it's because this is a digital pedal, and for some reason beyond my understanding my mix of analog pedals on my isolated power supply causes the noise or something like that. Maybe it's my power supply, or adapter. However, I've tested it too many times than I should have as I don't want to blow out my speakers or my eardrums. I might return this pedal and go with a more standard reverb pedal. However, my review still stands as is below.


As most other people said, this pedal is a great little reverb pedal. The reverb sounds great and full, and doesn't suck too much tone out. The tone suck is a bit more noticable the louder you push the pedal, but it's not super detrimental unless you like to play with heavy reverb. You can still tell there is something small lacking when it's a medium or lower volume, but that's just me nitpicking and being extra attentive to the tone. Otherwise, you should use an EQ pedal to balance your tone.

The build quality is actually much better than I expected. A solid metal casing with a nice satin-y/ brush glossy finish on it.

There's an "E. Level" knob, for Effect Level/ Volume, "Decay" knob, "Tone" knob and the bit 7 mode selector knob in the middle.

Level and Tone are pretty self explanatory. The Tone knob doesn't seem to affect tone all too much, and turning it up all the way allows a lot of noise through as a very audible hiss. The Decay knob affects how fast the reverb decays.

The 7 mode selector knob is notched so that each mode is easy to dial in. It's a nice smooth notch and it's actually very satisfying to turn in my honest opinion. I might break it just by turning the knob too much. The 7 modes are what they are, which is nice to see. Room being one of the least noticable ones unless you turn it up, and Church being the most "reverb-y" mode. Diverse and versatile which is nice from a reverb pedal this relatively cheap.

My pedal has a weird switch, however. It pops whenever activated, although it diminishes in volume as you push it more and more. Might be static build up. It doesn't bother me that much as it'll mainly be an always-on pedal, but it can be annoying. At this price point, can't complain too much.

Overall, highly recommended for someone's first reverb pedal. However, if you're an intermediate to higher level player looking to expand your board, you should go for something higher tier like a Hall of Fame.
