Game Changer.
This is the first pedal to literally make me cry. Don't judge me. It is just that good. The "mash" button will hate on your bare feet, but trust me, it is worth putting on a flip-flop for. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
Amazing flexibility at a nice price in size
A reverb pedal with simple interface and regular size but lots of options including its expressive capability through this peculiar switch.
It shimmers now
I owned the original Hall of Fame, and while it was in excellent condition, I went ahead and got this one - specifically because of the Shimmer effect. While the strymon does more - the shimmer effect here - when edited using the toneprint - can impress even the most scrupulous.
High Quality shimmer + expression? For under 200...just get it.
I used this on my korg volcas, minilog, vocal tracks, and now on my guitar. So versatile.
Great dial!
This is a great reverb, with a soft sound ... not intrusive. Only one minus - the battery sits very quickly - not an option.
Best versatile reverb pedal
Best versatile reverb pedal. Although analog and spring emulations could be more realistic
Nice reverb for your reverberation needs
It is a good pedal, I got it as second hand, but still in great shape. I also found the true bypass and buffered bypass functions, and kill dry. I didn't like at all the shimmer reverb, so I'll still tweak a little more to check for my taste setup.
The Mash function might be a mess sometimes, when you try to shut off the effect but instead of this, the Mash option is activated.
Yet, I'm still tryong to figure out how to get the best from this pedal. The most used effects by me are spring, church, hall... I should use the tone prints, I have three of them, one from That Pedal Show (Spring Reverb) and two from Pete Thorn. I miss the Gate Reverb from the past Hall of Fame, probably I'll load it to play a little with it.
I would like to put this pedal in a separate closed loop, adding also the Carbon copy to the circuit, just to experiment.
Thinking about putting again this red buddy in the chain, before the Echosystem, for ambiental sounds.
Shimmer + more tones!
The shimmer algorithm is the primary reason why I got it. I won't need a Big Sky unless I have a million songs with 3 million specific settings and parameters.

Not good enough
I own this pedal, but I want to sell it. If you want to figure out what kind of reverb you like, then you could buy one. It has a lot of different settings, that's for sure. If you ask me, a reverb is one of the most crucial pedals and I think there are ones that are way better. The TC Electronic just isn't good enough for me.
crucial? man, when i was a kid there weren't any reverbs in a pedal form factor and no one used reverb unless they had a fender amp or rack system with a lexicon or spx90... crucial pedals, hahaha.... are there any crucial pedals? I would definitely say not
Alright man, I can't deny that! But I'm a huge U2 and Simple Minds fan! To create that kind of sound you can't leave a reverb out :) I don't want to play without!
simple minds? sure, very digital reverb heavy in a shitty 80s 12bit sense... the edge doesn't use as much verb as people think at the amp. He's got a shimmer setting on a volume control into its own amp for live (not sure how long he's been doing that), but on the old records all of that verb was a product of the recording and mixing process done at the desk by Lillywhite, Lanois and Eno. Edge's delays aren't even that complicated. People think multitap but its so much right hand work into that triplet delay that he popularized. The edge is Mr Delay. Most of the verb on the records is shared up on desk sends and returns... the delay's into the front end of that old ac30, the real secret of the edge sound.
But I still think they are pretty important... The Edge uses them a lot (reverb shimmer, mods) and whether he uses the reverb on his AMP or a pedal , I don't find the HoF2 fit for that kind of stuff.
I think you're not following anything I said. Don't worry about it... every digital reverb company has their own sound, always did. I really like the TC sound but tis very 90s sicne that's when they broke into the studio processor biz. Its also when I was leanring to cut records so I'm partial to it. Lexicon's more 80s for instance... I wonder whatever happened to lexicon? I used to have one of their budget ALEX racks and really loved that thing.
I can follow you (for the most part) and I find it interesting! It's just that when I listen to, let's say, Who's gonna ride your wild horses (or any Achtung Baby song), that I have trouble with the TC HoF2. I actually don't know how that did that? Funny, because the song was recorded in the early 90s, maybe you know. I'm just not sure about the HoF2, I really enjoyed the TC Arena reverb though! But actually I just want the Neunaber Immerse ;)
