M-Vave Mini Universe ambient budget reverb pedal (All Modes!)

The M-Vave Mini Universe marks a huge improvement upon the "dig verb". 9 modes, 5 controls. the separate hi pass/low pass controls on many of the modes offers significant shaping abilities and each of the 9 modes has its own merits.
please note at about 11 minutes I switched to the Lo Fi mode but forgot to change the caption.
the only noticable volume loss occurred in the swell mode.

Hello Everyone! I also have an in-depth demo of the M-Vave Mini-Universe. You may want to check my latest video. Thanks!

[@nerdebynature]

Big fan of your demos, friend! I look forward to watching yours!

[@EhrosmithTV]

Thanks Bro!! You put an amazing video too!❤ I love the ambient settings. More power! 😀😍🔥🤘

I just bought this pedal today. I can't believe what I am hearing for under 40 bucks. The fact that you can get the cloud shimmer and swell effect in one piece of gear at that price is absolutely insane. I hope this thing is built well. I remember when the Mr. Black Eterna pedal came out. That thing still costs over a hundred bucks and can't do half the stuff that this pedal does. Just excellent.

[@abrajmek_zalilov]

You'll believe if you put Mini Universe in a chain after distortion. Noisy sh*t( I am dissapointed. Btw I'll try to use usb power supply, but not sure this can help.

[@deomartinez77]

I've had my M-Vave Mini Universe for 2 weeks and it's pretty impressive for $35.00. I bought it to replace my Gen 1 Alesis Microverb and it has yet to disappoint. The only 2 things I don't care for are the on/off button pops when pressed and if you turn the mix dial too far to the right it seems to shut down the volume.

You should also check out the Boss TE2 Tera Echo. Ive purchased this Reverb, plus the TE2 and DD8 Delay. Insane combo of effects to work with. Good Video Bro God Bless

[@streetlegal008]

One thing I noticed about this pedal. It seems to be very sensitive to power supply interference - so you might experience some high pitched sound if it is set up as part of a chain of pedals. However once I put it on a separate 9 volt adaptor (which I already had), the whine disappeared and it worked absolutely fine at the end of my pedal board. But just something to be aware of - some pedals just seem to be more sensitive to these kind of issues than others.

[@congoblast]

Great demo, glad you went through all rhe modes. The clarity in the room mode was impressive, but given what and how I play, this pedal is not for me. And THAT is good to know! :)

[@nerdebynature]

Thanks for checking it out! A budget pedal is only worth it if it meets your needs! I'm really excited to use it for my washed out laid back ambient stuff, and I'm glad I saved you a few bucks!

[@byroneism]

Love mine great pedal

[@rgerber]

first pedal that popped up in AliExpress when searching cheap reverb pedal-

[@nerdebynature]

The tones on this pedal are amazing for the price, it works wonderful for a recording or "always on" reverb. It does make a loud POP when turned on or off. Still 100% worth the price in my opinion!

[@kingstumble]

£22 from Tomtop today---wow. At that price it's no brainer. Just one thing---bloom and swell modes sound pretty much the same to me. What is the difference? Excellent demo btw.

I added a thing to the description, thanks for letting me know! Maybe later I'll try to figure out how to do chapter markers on here!

[@attentionaddicts]

Nice, thanks for the demo! 1.. Do you know how much power this pedal requires, in ma? Website doesn't have it 2. Is this pedal a "keeper"?

[@nerdebynature]

Thanks for watching! I will see if it says anything in the packaging about the power. I did have some concern the first time I tried it on if the footswitch was loud when clicking it on/off. Reverb for me when playing is usually an "always on" but with a more experimental reverb like this you might want to know if you're gonna get a click echoing through the rest of your chain. I'll test that later! I will definitely be using this with any mono pedal demos I do, but will be keeping the Flamma FS02 on my main board as I like running stereo effects a lot. I paid $25, I would have been happy paying $50 for this.

[@attentionaddicts]

@@nerdebynature that's for your reply, I've just ordered this pedal Want it just for the ambient sounds (shimmer, cloud, swell)

It draws around 150mA, 200mA and over is just safe.

[@jorgeao58]

Hi ! I´ve just bought a Mini Universe pedal and it seems to have a kind of problem. Every time that I turned it on or off, it emits a pop (or a crackle .. I don´t know the correct word). I tested it in two diferents amplifiers, in diferente places and the result is the same. It´s veryit's unpleasant when you're playing and the reverb comes in with that loud pop. Terrible ... Do you know something about this ? Thanks !!!

[@nerdebynature]

I can't explain why, but my mini universe behaved differently depending on what other pedals were plugged in with it. When I had it on its own separate power supply it behaved better.

[@jorgeao58]

@@nerdebynature Ok ! Thanks

[@shawnsaul7759]

Can you hear the pop sound through your amps or just acoustically?

[@jorgeao58]

@@shawnsaul7759 Through the amps .. Every time that I turn it on or off

[@captain6198]

Same problem here, let me know if you solve it.

[@conordyer2307]

Are you using an amp etc to get the main guitar tone/ sound? It feels almost piezo like or like its direct into your audio interface..... It doesnt sound like its plugged into an amp...ibut it sounds cool, very unique almost like a ukulele or something at times

[@attentionaddicts]

There seems to be some digital noise in Cloud Mode at 5:56 Is this something you've noticed with this pedal?

[@nerdebynature]

So I had a chance to listen back and I caught what your heard, this sound actually reminded me of my EQD afterneath which achieves reverb tones through multiple delays (weird, right?) But on that pedal this sound you heard is a feature, not a bug, so maybe it's intentional on the mini universe. I'll see if I can recreate it on purpose later in a musical fashion.

[@basicforge]

Similar to the Behringer RV-600 Reverb Machine? Seems to have more, I guess.

[@nerdebynature]

This has more ambient style reverbs than any other budget reverb out there. I haven't used the RV 600 myself as they're a little harder to find for cheap these days, but the pros of the Behringer would be stereo in and out and trails. For a mono ambient reverb there's nothing that can beat this at less than double the cost.

[@natanaelnatanael3068]

Parabéns pelo video! Ele possui pré delay? Dá pra contolar o tempo entre a nota tocada e a reverberação?

[@nerdebynature]

Parameter 3 is listed as drift on most modes, it seems to be a cross between pre delay and modulation control

[@robertclarkguitar]

Nit bad of a reverb for ambient stuff it seems. A bit springy but not bad. Im stuck at my PC so i can use Valahalla. Exeptional supermassive reverbs and delays algorithms all free. If i could have that in a pedal id be set so i can play in more a live outdoor setting like with a strymon but damn im poor. Hahah

For me, it did not add any noise to my signal, but it did make the entire signal LOUDER. It also has a LOUD click on and off. Some folks have said that running it on a separate power source helps reduce the hiss some have experienced.
