The moment I heard the sound, I was convinced this is the definitive reverb for me! It’s so easy and intuitive that it stirs up my creativity and is quick to spark new ideas!

I love the sort of dark vibe that the pedal has, the infinite reverb spreads seamlessly. This pedal has a lot of depth and great potential, and I have just started exploring it!
