To Shimmer or not to Shimmer - Caline Wonderland Ambient Reverb Machine

[@alanmcdonald7390]

This pedal really loves my seagull grand auditorium accoustic. There's a lot of options for broadening my sound. When needed.

[@kirabarsmith9353]

Getting some Cocteau Twins sounds at 3:40, nice. I'm not a shimmer fan, but I like the reverb on this pedal.

[@bimaarbawijaya4744]

the 0% shimmer actually sounds pretty nice here.. maybe if they add an additional shimmer on/off button might be much interesting...

[@sassycat]

Another lovely ambient reverb, it puts me in the bedtime frame of mind. Good Night. 😴

[@TSFAHTPS]

Haha...sweet reverberated dreams Sassy Cat

[@stoneysdead689]

This seems like a room reverb and the more you turn up the decay, the larger the room gets. With the shimmer blended in it's a really cool sound- not sure if I would use it much tbh, my music is a bit dark for "shimmer' but- I like the reverb tank. Has a very lonely vibe to it- like a sweet sadness- I like that.

Well if I ever wanted to play music to put the daughter to sleep got to use this pedal it’s about as mystical and floaty as you can possibly imagine. Some really great Melodic and chilled vibes with the pedal. Didn’t think I would like it but I do 💁🏻‍♂️👍🎛

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Wow ... sold. Love this channel. I’ve spent a lot of $ on pedals as I rebuild my rig (long-break), and spending less on a Caline as a 2nd delay turned out to be wise. Here’s my reverb! I’d that a Teltronics compressor over 👉🏻

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thank you Kid Pesto

[@phatpastor32974]

Guy on the Left seems clues about ambient sound! Guy in black shirt gets it!

[@jungyoon5010]

Wonderland sounded great! I will buy one!

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Caline pedals you guys have convinced me to try them!☺

[@rodd1000]

Guy on left ...how not to play guitar whilst using shimmer 😂

[@caplippi]

True

[@peteskyrunner4845]

I thought the same. Like, what the hell is he doing? So glad the other bloke took over and played something to complement the shimmer.

[@pollyannaleaves213]

If you are into shoegaze and post-rock, you should get this pedal. Use it with the Caline - Mariana.

[@leonruvalcaba1549]

What about postgaze and shoe-rock?

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Shimmer sounds great as a pad underneathe your playing - just barely there

[@carloamiel]

Hello, does it have battery power option?

[@eightstorywindow]

Is my Neunaber better? Yes but not 3X the $ better. Wonderland is might fine

[@punkgrl325]

I've been trying to find this pedal from last year, but it's sold out everywhere. I honestly thought it'd been discontinued.

[@tellstarrsixtwo7120]

It's still available on ebay and some other online shops (US/Canada/UK/Scandinavia), but overpriced...

[@whobian123]

My wallet does not like this video... but I certainly do.

[@johnnyguitar7921]

the brian eno sound from Apollo atmospheres and soundtracks

[@wilfried5418]

Curiouser and curiouser wonderland, isn’t that also a John Mayer reference? When your body becomes a wonderland, but in a weird way, with talking parts or other parts changing size?

[@TSFAHTPS]

Hahahaha...

[@randysutton2120]

I think that's called an STD... :)

[@voiceofexperience]

"Your Body is a Ghost Train"

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

It's from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland".

[@mixitnow1932]

does the reverb trail wont stop suddenly if you swutch off the pedal?

[@makarand6666]

It will stop since it doesn't have the option to keep trail on

[@voiceofexperience]

Think you can improve on Eno's "Apollo"? Grab this pedal & give it a shot!

[@icarocosta4302]

the first guy doesnt know how to use a shimmer or long reverbs.

[@ricknemrecords]

Alex did you say Warmoth guitar.....that is one nice axe....

[@ckhanpe]

for the price this sounds good

[@jayjutsu666]

I wanted to use this pedal for solos and stumped across one at our local shops. I was just curious though, If you turn the shimmer knob totally off... can you get it to a setting similar (or closer) to a plate/room reverb (or just like any normal reverb) without the shims?

[@Roger-il8iw]

They literally did that at the beginning

[@maartenstevens9848]

Shimmer is, as the guy at the right says, difficult and very personnel. i like this sound, just as the shimmer from Walrus Audio Descent and maybe the Fluorescence from tC and the shimmer from Zoom Ms50g. That kind of more broken , diffused shimmer. Not the BlueSky shimmer, Neunaber shimmer, Polara shimmer. Maybe not the Ventris shimmer (never tried myself), .... Too beautifull and angelic for my ears. Some other shimmers someone knows that are close to this Wonderland kin of shimmer ? It is difficult to find Caline pedals in Europe, but not impossible.

[@ProbablyTheBestUkuleleDadEver]

This is getting added to my uke pedalboard when we get a UK release date 🙄

[@TSFAHTPS]

Isn’t it out in the UK yet? I have to try it on Ukulele now...

[@ProbablyTheBestUkuleleDadEver]

@@TSFAHTPS not in the UK yet ☹️ I have heard Shimmer Reverb used with ukes before, but this one seems a bit more flexible on the wet/dry and being able to dial the shimmer out if you want.

[@Stu-Vino]

sounds sweeeet

[@thedeadxtras9927]

Another decent pedal by Caline at a really cheap price if you want it, sounds nice enough, but I’m not a fan of shimmer at all, it’s probably my least favourite verb as it’s too bright for me, I’m actually a little fed up seeing how many pedals now really highlight it cos it has shimmer on it, so I’ll definitely be passing on any shimmer pedal no matter how good it maybe, I can live without it and prefer using so many other types of verbs to get my desired sound.

[@TSFAHTPS]

I feel the same about shimmer...there are really only a very few select reverbs and delays that do shimmer well...this one is almost there...but I really like this reverb without the shimmer. It’s a really nice dense reverb with just the right amount of pre-delay

[@akshaysharma2786]

I love this but its double the price in my country.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Sadly prices are different all over the world…not much we can do about it!!

[@akshaysharma2786]

@@TSFAHTPS But do you recommend this pedal over a looper pedal I am beginner and have distortion pedal what should be my 2nd pedal Shimmer or Looper.

[@mixitnow1932]

The only downside of this pedal is that when you turn off the switch, the reverb suddenly stops also, it doesnt have a reverb trail
