@RobertKeeleyTV5 жыл бұрын
Because it's brilliantly simple in that it's only one or the other. In the real world your amp was a reverb or you have a reverb pedal. Use it for the delay mode. In practice with a band, playing a pedal board full of pedals, it became the core of my tone.
@jalapainyo5 жыл бұрын
Robert Keeley Hey, Robert thanks for engaging. I respectfully disagree. In the real world most reverb on amps is a let down certainly in comparison to the delicious reverb in your pedal. Secondarily I can’t come up with many practical live scenarios where I wouldn’t want delay and reverb on simultaneously especially since reverb generally is an always on effect. I wouldn’t buy this pedal because I would always be miffed by the fact I couldn’t have delay and reverb on at the same time. I would constantly be searching for the hidden April fools switch that would engage the reverb. As brilliant as you and your team are this question never came up when evaluating the marketability of the pedal? The prevailing answer was, “yeah, most amps have reverb already?” I suppose the proof will be determined by how well it sells and I could end up the kid on the sideline watching everyone else playing kickball but I’m looking forward to the expanded chassis version.
@RobertKeeleyTV5 жыл бұрын
jalapainyo I’m sure there will be a deluxe version one day! The choice was, for the DSP power and sound quality we want, we can only have delay or reverb, not both. It’s not as much a limitation in my mind. I didn’t want another switch or set of knobs. So it is what it is. :-)
