Description

Edit description

The cavernous Reflector reverb pedal projects your sound into the third dimension. Six reverbs add diffuse trails to your playing without ever swallowing your tone. Its sturdy metal shell houses two simulated spring reverbs with their characteristic pulse and resonance, and alongside these are the ghostly textures of Reverse mode, and the dense sound of three studio-quality reverbs. The Reflector allows you full control over the six different reverb modes including time, damping, and level, offering FX that range from a spacious hall, to the sound of a studio plate via the beating of a vintage spring.

Great Reverb pedal

6 different modes, all of them are useful. Like the other marshall pedals it has the spill-over effect which is really nice to have. Plays in the same league as the RV Series from Boss but doesn't cost as much.

A versatile heavy duty reverb!

It's wonderful at the end of the chain! I always have it on with a bit of room or hall on during concerts. Sounds very natural and gives that added depth and dimension to my sound!
