Reflecting Pool | Effects Pedals | Fender

[@Walks-With-Pride]

I am not a big pedal guy. But, I really like this pedal. This, along with a good overdrive, would be all the pedals I would ever need.

[@clamus68]

Hate to say this but the Fender Pugilist is an amazing pedal that will cover that overdrive pedal slot nicely. No I don't work for Fender.

[@Walks-With-Pride]

@@clamus68 Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out. Although, I have owned numerous pedals over the years, there have been only a few that have impressed me. In the '80s I had a guitar processor known as the Korg A3. I have never found anything that could top that. The Edge from U2 is also a big fan of the A3. I heard rumors that he has three or four A3s in his rack. I now use a Boss GT-100, which gives me the sound I like, except for overdrive. I am still looking for that special smooth, creamy overdrive sound that I so desperately want to emulate. I have never heard of the Pugilist, but I will definitely give it a try. Thanks again!

[@clamus68]

@@Walks-With-Pride I remember that Korg A3. Anyways, check out the video over at Fender.com on the Pugilist. Here you go... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHbJnYF_lpuFhJI

This pedal and a tube screamer is all you really need

[@ultramagnus4374]

Love the pedals and the review. One note of constructive feedback, when demonstrating a pedal, try not to use the tremolo so much, it’ll can cause some confusion as to the effect generated by the pedal

[@Jiri_yolo]

very true

[@ripw1]

Agreed

[@donwhite3952]

yes, it is very annoying.

[@Javier-qk7ms]

Put the tap on the left so delay and reverb can be bot activated in a single stomp when needed

[@otaviodecanini5309]

Javier Aldan or you can do a sick rock and roll jump and activate each one with both your feet

[@InspiretoVictory]

I have a tube tape echo. And that tape effect on the pedal is amazing. It's the details that get me. Just listen to how warm the repeats are and how they trail off. I've listened to that intro a few times now and am really impressed. It is a marvel of engineering.

[@alexbatz9977]

dude i’m saving up for this and i’m SO CLOSE, and let me tell you when i’m SO EXCITED, the swells i’m gonna get out of this are gonna be so fantastic.

[@tjnugent62]

I kinda wish they had a standard spring reverb setting.. Like a Fender amp.

[@DIGITAL7Media]

How did it go?

[@jerrymartinez2160]

Did you ever buy it?

[@cgonzt5636]

Yeah how was it? I’m about to buy Eventide Blackhole but this one looks more useable in my case.

[@fruitiusmaximus925]

OK, I HAVE TO have this. It's just a few weeks of eating rice and leaving the AC off until 6. Totally worth it. I think this might be the perfect pedal. You don't want to over-do a pedal and give it a bunch of features that can't be used simultaneously. This thing gives you a lot of control of reverb and delay modeling, with discreet footswitch control. This is basically a full-featured Fender Marine Layer Reverb Pedal added onto a delay pedal that is superior to the Fender Mirror Image pedal. The only improvement I would make, is to replace the tap footswitch with a footswitch for some of those effects that are operated by knob-switches, and I'd get rid of one or two of those switches and replace with a pair or trio of dials.

[@Realroyrogers]

Its a fine pedal, sound is quiet , delay is flexible, overall a great pedal. Just dont put it in front of a compressor , put it in line behind the compression and it is excellent

[@LinkLayerLogic]

I'm loving the new fender pedals. They seem to be very full-featured and not bad on price at all.

[@vibes6326]

[@cgonzt5636]

The cost is always the difference 👍

[@grantcleveland4506]

Now i feel like instead of getting the marine layer reverb i should of waited to get it with a delay. Great job on this pedal guys!

[@svst208]

sounds so sick, but its quite expensive. might still get this one however

[@SiferUno]

Check out Zzounds, you can buy it in payments I'm thinking of getting one👌🏼

[@jacksciorti7916]

The selling point for me is that buying a good verb and delay separate would probably run me $200-300 anyway

[@masonkanterbury3007]

Just got into Fender pedals. They are great. Make a cheap amp sound like a Marshall.

[@JawrL95]

When changing the main delay divisions, do you have to hold the tap tempo down, change the div, then retap the tempo every time? Or once you have a tempo tapped in, can you quickly change divs ie dotted eighth to quarter by turning the knob?

[@chriscorley6478]

I want one for Christmas. ☕

[@AndyDrudy]

I wonder. Does this pedal have a kill dry for effects loop operation?

[@MAP448]

Ty so much for doing this video. I am a bit of a slow learner & having access to this video has helped me understand this pedal so much better. The more & more I've used this pedal, the more & more ideas just continue to flow out of me. Is there any way you could do another video on this pedal & the Pinwheel Rotary speaker emulator as well. I'm just interested in how you've designed these pedals to function in stereo. I believe it would be most beneficial to have an inside look, at how you originally expected these pedals to function & sound in stereo. Anyways you all have done a wonderful job at all the new pedals & amps & guitars. I am sure that Leo would be very proud now at how you've not only continued his legacy, but you're also improving upon player requests. From what I've read it seems that's how he originally intended his business to function at it's best.

[@matthewmp111]

Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but is the reverb circuit on this pedal the same as the Fender Marine Layer?

[@ryleuty]

Came for a pedal review, then just wanted to hear Josh play for the whole thing.

[@wearebranchesband]

Can you program presets?

[@nicholasmao2321]

Josh looking at Stan like , "I just wanna play man"

[@mikeseager2399]

Bought Fender Echo & Reverb!

[@rfelton77]

Have there been any firmware updates? And if so where do we get them?

[@Tommylawrence09]

I have just taken delivery of a "Reflecting Pool", I'm very impressed with the reverb but ever so slightly disappointed the delay isn't in stereo. My fault for not doing a little more research, but overall a very good pedal.

[@ratherbe7]

Sounds incredible!

[@Lecktron5000]

Is the signal delay into reverb or reverb into delay?

[@Lecktron5000]

@fender ?

[@xjindae830]

Obviously it's Delay to Reverb as you can hear

[@Kathayne636]

Quite clearly delay into reverb, my friend!

[@sammyrajoy]

How is the signal flow? Is it Reverb going into Delay or Delay going into Reverb?

[@gigaha]

I couldn’t find that info anywhere, including the manual. However, it’s safe to say the delay goes into the reverb. That’s the standard order on these types of combo pedals, not to mention the delay controls are on the input side.

[@oneonthenet6104]

It sounds great!!! And I LOVE the feature that the knobs have a light-up position indicators. However, why is the text on the pedal so small? Try reading that standing up in a dimly lit club...No WAY!

[@drugtaker3283]

You can always use painters tape

[@bigskybob]

Where do you recommend using this pedal? Pre-amp? FX Loop? I love learning about the special reverb modes. Had no idea they were there.

[@jmacc9876]

No drippy spring mode? Seems strange. Otherwise seems like a really nice 2 in 1 pedal.

[@Timroxss]

nice sound. does the reverb have a hold or freeze function when you hold the switch down?

[@eliasmsv3156]

so dreamy

[@TheSavage1969]

Boo, when bringing over the Marine Layer Reverb you omitted the predelay. Seems the only thing missing quite but important feature. For others that need/want this function then stick with the separate Marine and Mirror pedals, totaling $40 retail together over this combo pedal of them.

[@landonbailey]

Pretty cool mix!

[@getaloadofthisguy9285]

someone please tell me will this work on bass?

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Any pedal will "work" with a bass. It's a matter of whether you like what it does. Delay and reverb? Sure. There isn't anything specific to bass that _wouldn't_ 'reverberate or echo.'

[@lucaszembrzuski]

Just for the clarification because i checked the manual and there was nothing about it, does the level knob set to max allow for a wet only sound? (0% dry sound)

[@rfnr8177]

Yeah

[@dan-h2g]

Lay off the whammy bar when demoing modulation.

[@mindfield7]

Can you latch it to get a pad effect?

[@aidendecoto5244]

I love the look of the fender pedals. I’ve never tried one out yet but they seem good

[@circedge]

Sounds nice. Like a machine of Cocteau Twins. But why no plate Fenderrr?

[@9thchild358]

Does it have a freeze function?

[@sanjograi4199]

Was looking to get the Marine Layer and EHX Canyon, this might have changed my plans...

[@cgonzt5636]

How was it? Yeah same with me planning to buy something but saw this. Thinking now. 😂

The Mooer has much more digital sounding artifacts, but that may be good, depending on what you're trying to do.

[@larsuk9578]

How would that compare to Zoom Ms70?

[@RcPmRcPm]

does anyone know where I can find the additional footswitch pedal for this and what is it for?? I cannot find it anywhere...

[@jek93milani]

I think its for tapping the tempo

[@endezeichengrimm]

It is not on their website anymore, so I guess it got discontinued?

[@TimO-wt9sz]

If fender is king of cleans and reverbs how have they not been able to crush the strymon big sky and the crazy price.

[@kellyvaughnofficial]

Awesome! 🎸

[@WarrenSkaley]

Is there any delay pedal that even approaches the dl4?

[@DrMars781]

no reverse delay ??

[@chicowasp]

Sure ive seen a box that could be the tre,verb pedal for my xmas pressie.Going to sound great with my Hagstrom viking.Unless it,s a box with socks in.

[@avjake]

That's a fine sounding guitar/amp combo. The slap echo in Room sounds pretty genuine. Nice box. Though I think it's a minor sin to mess up Josh's playing with these effects.

[@albertvasu5489]

Imagine playing pride by u2 with that pedal

[@chickenlegs28porkchops94]

Just bought this pedal, I’m at work and can’t to get home to play with it.

[@IJIIKY9192]

I have the Mirror Image delay, but I might be replacing that and my reverb with this

[@phenixreturns]

just digital ?

[@crackedblackpepperandrocksalt]

Funny, I would not buy the fender mirror image delay by itself. I would buy the fender marine layer reverb by itself. But ultimately I wish I bought the fender reflecting pool now

[@vanessajazp6341]

So, when you’re demoing the MODULATED delay, it defeats the purpose of that demo when you use the tremolo bar. Just my 2 cents.

[@visisydandthevoid]

Thinking this might be perfect for my moog grandmother since she doesn't have delay

[@vvavie4858]

It would be cool if the octave had a setting to do both higher octaves, lower octaves, and both together

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

I'd buy it but I'm disappointed that they removed the dry-kill toggle switch. This is why I'm glad I already have the Marine Layer Reverb as the dry kill is required for some of my compositions.

[@alextheguitarist7282]

It would be really good if Fender could make a simple delay pedal where you can set one repeat to be say 1/2 second and the second repeat with x2 the length of the first one aka 1 second. Just that. Great pedal though.

[@Bryan8329]

You could put that opening out as a single

[@BladeDoomer86]

Love these new pedals, quite a lot. But 389$ CAD is a lot of money for a reverb..........

[@BloodFireDoom]

Mmmmmm dreamy

[@ruangnada9477]

At Swee Lee Jakarta (Fender Authorized Dealer in Indonesia) my guarantee of Marine Layer Reverb been rejected just because there's a velcro on it. So weird.

[@thenorthwoodsbassist2641]

I am so disappointed that there is no Pre-Delay for the Reverb.

[@gigaha]

Same. If it had predelay I would’ve picked it over the Collider. The controls are so nicely laid out here too, much better than other combo pedals.

[@sidequestplays4768]

[@OzziePete1]

It's a very good pedal from Fender however, Source Audio's Collider Effect seems to have more bang per buck to it... Also, curiously, Fender Pedals seems to assume that those buying these pedal already own a Deluxe or Twin Reverb for the spring reverb effect. None of their pedals seem to emulate the spring reverb?

[@angusmarshall496]

Ozzy Pete the Fender treverb has 63 and 65 spring reverbs and a plate, as well as 3 types of tremolo.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

[@adhaskym.a9536]

[@-dlb-]

Looks like a great pedal and a great guitarist. But they don't mix nicely. What's with the continuous tremolo use over delays? How could we possibly listen to the effect trough that?

[@mrsockmonkey1969]

No presets. Something with this many options needs selectable presets. Nobody wants to bend over every song to screw with settings. what year is this ?

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

Looks like the player was struggling to understand dotted eighths :/

[@stankowalski4574]

That player is Josh Smith. I'm pretty sure he knows how to play ;-), including U2 if he wanted to get that sound, but I don't believe that was his intention here. Cheers !

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

Stan Kowalski Not saying he’s bad at all. He’s an excellent player, I just think he was getting thrown off by what the bpm/dotted 8th tempos were all about hehe no offence to anyone intended. It’s almost better to have a click track for when you’re doing dotted cuz it can be very easy for the delay to throw ya off!

[@anthonycrystal33]

The purpose of this vid is to hear the pedal!! It would be better to hear ONLY the sound of the pedal without Josh hitting the whammy bar!!!

????

[@bretthackett4124]

Please don't use your whammy bar when demonstrating delay
