Well, I've had the pedal for a few weeks now, and I'm really liking it so far. I don't use a lot of reverb playing live, but since the Bassman has no reverb at all, I figured a reverb pedal was probably a good idea.
So, first off, here's what you get in addition to the pedal itself:
That's the box, the owner's manual, the registration card, a 'Stomplock', and piece of velcro.
The Stomplock is a thick, soft piece of rubber that goes over the knobs so you don't accidentally change your settings by kicking them. I've never had that problem with other pedals, but I guess if you have found your perfect settings, you don't want them to get changed in transport...not that it's hard to adjust 4 knobs.
Here's the Stomplock on the pedal.
The pedal itself seems to be very heavy-duty. It's probably the heaviest pedal on my pedalboard. It's all metal construction, and at least the exterior should hold up to any abuse you throw at it. I haven't cracked it open to look inside, but at least the housing is built to last.
It's also a true bypass pedal, so it doesn't color your tone when it's not in use.
And the knobs.
Level - controls the volume of the reverb.
Liveliness - This knob kind of controls the brightness of the reverb. Clockwise makes the reverb brighter, counterclockwise makes the reverb darker.
Decay - Controls the length of the reverb trail.
The last knob is for the type of reverb. Going clockwise, the types of reverbs are: Room, Plate, Reverse, Modulated, Gated, Hall, and Spring.
And now for clips. I recorded these with my orange Warmoth on the neck/middle position, into the normal channel of my Bassman.
I recorded the track dry and then plugged the reverb pedal into my audio interface, so it's exactly the same track, just with the different reverb settings. I had the knobs all in the 12 o'clock position for all reverb types.
And the clips. In honor of Wayne Vinson, I used a sloppy take of the intro to Little Wing for my clips:
Dry
Room
Plate
Reverse
Modulated
Gated
Hall
Spring
Of course, by playing around with the knobs, you can vary the intensity and thickness of the reverbs, but these are a good middle of the road indication of what the thing sounds like.
Overall, I'm very happy with the sound and the quality of the pedal.
