magic

I can't believe it. It sounds better than every OD I have ever heard!

Fantastic

I don't use anything else. I've got hundreds of these lying around in my room.

Having fun!

It's a great pedal! It took some time to get used to it, but now I know how to use it I'm really enjoying the Sonar! The hidden features are nice and the delta knob is fun to mess around with. The pedal is a bit expensive but I think it is worth it! Great Zvex pedal!

Clear!

My dad owns this guitar, but I'm the only one who plays it. I like how it sounds, it's very clear and has a lot of power.

I'm glad

Pedaltrain is a great brand! They know how to make a customer glad!

Cheap?

Usually I break a string after 3 months, with these I break one after 7 months. So guess they are cheaper...? Even though they're not? Well, to be honest, I just like how they sound.

Tiny!

I'm not a big fan of wah pedals. I own one because me and my band have a couple of songs where I use it. It's kind of hard to controle due to the size, but it saves a lot of space on your pedalboard!

Love it

I love this guitar. It is the first guitar I've ever bought, I can't say anything bad about it. The tone is great, and I like the feeling.

Nice Tuner

Does what a tuner does! And does is fast! The tuner reacts very fast when you play a lot of different notes very fast! Although I don't use the clean boost function, it's still nice to have because the boost sounds pretty good.

Nice!

It's a great amp. The amp is not expensive (compered to most) but it has a nice ring to it. I tried more amps before buying this one (VOX AC15, Bluesbreaker..) and I think it's one of the best you can get when your budget is under a 1000.

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

miro_van_dijk

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.

miro_van_dijk

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.

miro_van_dijk

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 ;)

Amazing

My first expensive guitar! The guitar can create every tone. The humbucker is very clear and has a nice amount of treble and high mids. The P90 has a very thick tone with a strong bass sound. Both pickups individually are very good, but the guitar gets even more interesting when you use the bridge and neck position together. When you combine the pickups you get this single coil vibe, like a Stratocaster's second position, but in my opinion, even better.

This guitar rocks!!!!

miro_van_dijk

Nice!

This pedal combines classic rock with pop rock, like I've never heard before. This overdrive made me change the kind of music that I write. It's easy to control and still has a lot of nice features!

miro_van_dijk

Great!

First pedal I've ever bought and it's still my favorite!
