Great right? They also offer a free return on any item you purchase and give you credit or refund your money. Usually, keep the product.

[@nathancorrao8570]

I'm also using a joyo power supply dasiy chained with 3 other pedals and it sounds fantastic. I use a joyo zgp first then the reverb first in the power supply chain. Boss cs3, demon fx mini chorus demon fx tape echo and the mini universe.

[@bradcanrockursox]

SAME, but I purchased it from Amazon. I have a quality [individual] power supply, and I have never heard any noise from any pedal in my chain. I cannot wait to receive this pedal tomorrow morning & create, create, create! 🤙🏼

That blue pedal sounds so sick bro i love it TY!

[@trevord4243]

Great vid. I not long ago bought the M-Vave Mini Universe pedal. Was and still am, completely impressed with it, ...almost. I did have to power it by it's own power adapter though. As you mentioned, it didn't like being run on my Power Station DC Core 10 (power brick) with the rest of the pedals. For some reason, it just made a lot of noise. But given it's own power adapter, it is as quiet as the others. Not sure of the cause. But as for useability/creativity? Love it. Has great features and reverb choices. Love the parameter knobs and their individual shaping relevant to the selected reverb type. Love the small but tough build too. Doesn't hijack too much space on my pedal board either. Great share. Thank you.

The Mini Universe pedal needs to be on a 300ma isolated power supply. That will eliminate any noise. Similar to the Boss HM2 its a 9v Battery but recommend 12v Power supply. Hope this helps. I've had no problems check tech specs 👍

[@louiemausisa5048]

Can it handle 12v? Im very hesitant to put it on 12v because on the pedal it indicated 9v. Also if I put it on a 12v can it eliminate the popping sound when you click the foot switch?

I am starting to like the M-Vave line of products. I got the chocolate and set it up with an old cell phone of mine to control the effects of my Katana. It works well enough, and I just ordered the Tank G so can't wait for that to get here. I got that because it is portable, easy to switch between the effects and I can plug it into a portable speaker.

Hi! Which device has the best spring reverb tone - zoom multistomp or m-wave mini universe?

[@broken4spam]

wow, I've already sold mine. My Mooer A7 ordered me to do it, wanting to stay the only shimmer in my board. The same story with mini-amp. Joyo American sound is enough fo me.

[@KelticKabukiGirl]

Preamps generally do better direct to power without an amp preamp. I might consider doing demos with an FX loop amp, also that said EG Fireball,, EnGl Fireball

[@raananberger6830]

For the afford-a-board power supply, have you tried the Caline? I've just ordered the Caline CP-04 Power Supply from aliexpress

[@ralphhathaway-coley5460]

Well I have one of the mini universes in the post to me, I do wonder how the shimmer effect compares to the digverb they make, it could be the same or very similar sound so as I have the digverb I now might be able to run them both to give a stereo effect. Fingers crossed.

[@WyldMusik]

Wow! First time an afford-a-board episode led to an immediate impulse buy for me. When it comes to reverbs, I'll rarely have use for anything other than a decent spring reverb (which I already have), and most ambient multi-reverb pedals cost an arm and a leg, so it's hard to justify spending that kind of money on a pedal as a permanent fixture on my board, so this seems like the perfect solution for me. Great find, Ryan!

[@uncledoug9934]

You could always add an magnetic choke on the power cable going into the pedal to possibly get rid of the noise. I had to do that on my ham radio that sits close to my desktop computer. I like some of the sounds the Mini- Universe puts out. May jump on it!

[@lejunctionopenmicnight5060]

I bought one it came faulty, nothing passed when switch engaged and almight great audio thump when engaging and dis engaging. I have returned but have since foud that thump is common on working pedals. do I get another or is the Thump on all of them

[@nodayatthebeach]

I recently got one of the mini universe pedal and I was getting the whine as well. Tried everything. effects loop, straight thru to input, different positions on board, valve amps compared to solid state... no matter what had the whine until I tried a different power supply. It's true what is written in the little pamphlet. This pedal is only happy with 9v 500 ma power.and whine be gone!

What is the best budget pedal for gilmour sounds? The this universe one might be good

[@mikee4846]

I have this pedal and have a cheap Rowin power supply and no whine. Amazing pedal for the price

[@BBGreek1]

So I put this on my pedalboard, and there IS a horrible whine if I connect to the same power supply as my other pedals, even when I use the battery power on my supply instead of leaving it plugged in. It does go completely silent if I plug in a separate power supply, but what's the point? Going to try using the USB out from my power supply and see if that silences it. Really disappointed because the reverb is beautiful - but running separate power supplies defeats the purpous of buying a nice isolated pedalboard unit.

[@davidwlucas]

Ryan, were you daisy-chaining the power supply when running all 3 pedals and getting the whine? Digital pedals don't work well with daisy chains.

[@reedsutter8485]

I’ve had this pedal for about 6 months. I like it for heavy-handed, strong reverbs. It can drench a sound. Everything seems to skew metallic. Like you’re in a huge hall, but every surface is metal. I have trouble getting a good, subtle reverb I like from it.

[@SonicRave1]

I’m glad to see you doing these pedals! I ordered a Mini Universe off of Ali Express for $25. My board is becoming a afforadaboard.

[@orpheus1340]

Hi and many thanks for your great videos. I have a pretty big affoardaboard, with 16 pedals including buffers on both ends, running on 2x8 isolated power units, and I've got that same whine problem. But I don't really know which pedal it comes from, it seems that certain pedals together produce it when I put some types of overdrives on. But it doesn't seem to always be the case, and didn't always do that. Any advice on finding a solution?

[@lynyrddeville]

I would be willing to bet that you are using inexpensive power supply that says isolated on it but isn’t. There are such culprits out there. I just watched a video by a group called Chairmen of the Board . They are three prominent pedal board builders and Mason Marangello was just covering a common pedalboard mistakes and going low budget on the power supply is the wrong way to go. I just bit the bullet and ordered myself a Strymon Zuma. I have 2 O’jais but they are 5 outlets each and my board has 22 pedals. I was going to use the cheap Mosky unit that I bought for analog pedals but it just seems to dicey. Open your power supply. If you don’t see transformers in there it’s probably only filtered at best. Some digital pedals dump their noise down the ground of their power unit and if that pedal is not isolated, the noise dumped down the ground is contaminating your other pedals and a whine can be the result. I’m no expert on power supply electrical layout but I know the most common type of isolation is galvanic isolation and that uses a transformer.I know my reply was long. Sorry about that. I hope it helped you. Cheers!

[@orpheus1340]

@@lynyrddeville you are probably right. Thanks for your answer, it's just the right length and very useful! I took some Harley Benton supplies, not the most expensive ones. How do I recognize transformers? Strymon are probably expensive for me, maybe there's something good in lower price range?

[@orpheus1340]

@@lynyrddeville It does say specifically "isolated, filtered and protected against short-circuits, eliminating hums and noises... But maybe it's just not done well.

[@orpheus1340]

@@lynyrddeville to let you know: I went for a more expensive - although reasonable compared to others - Rockboard power supply, and it totally solved my problem! So you were right: cheap, even isolated, power supplies simply don't do the job correctly. Thanks for your advice!

I also bought the MoVall Falling Star, another hit. Crazy what pedals priced around $30 will get you, Now I'm exploring Ambient Guitar! Whoda thunk!

[@ComicBookNerdOutCBNO]

Dude, so did I. I mean I'm still learning and I suck but I'm enjoying fiddling with ambient sounds and delays. Alabs has great 4 pedals for 120 now but 99 when first. Did you get a his or whine? How did you resolve it if so?

[@nathancorrao8570]

A joyo zgp will fix the power noise issue.

[@onerandombruh]

Isn't M-Wave the same as Cuvave? Also, I think every single dirt pedal has this weird hissing to them because the stacking is always an issue... I was told that putting a noise gate right after the dirt pedal solves the whole thing. And a buffer also

[@DonnieGguitar]

Sir, does the sound die when you step on it or turn it on?

Got to have that mini universe. For the price, outstanding. That Gregorian chant sounds spooky, like a mystical movie kind of thing. Interesting.

[@sw4610]

I know that you aren't a guitarist who plays with loads of high gain, but if you wanted something to compare that multi-distortion pedal with, the Coolmusic Insane distortion pedal is pretty awesome for the $20ish it costs... plus no whine.

[@Limesubmusic]

I brought the delay ( because of this review), got it for £18 because of a deal, it has some pretty out there sounds. Well worth the money.

[@Chrisamic]

Try a 1 uF film capacitor across the power to that pedal. It will short out the noise (noise filtering) but won't affect the DC. Likely you could solve that problem for the price of a $1 cap.

Two things that are stopping me from putting this on my board: 1) the pedal *pops* when using the footswitch and 2) no tails/trails when you switch it off. I guess 2 is addressable of you use some kind of bypass looper and or delay but it would have been nice if it had that functionality to begin with... Other than that its a fun pedal to play around with.

So here's hoping you make a video on satone before I get mine. Only a couple videos and ones about the Fuzz and the other a distortion. Fuzz seemed cool. Distortion wasn't my thing but they have a reverb with a mix and dwell I can imagine what it's based on.

You asked for thoughts from the peanut gallery, so yep. I have spring tanks in two of my amps and a Danelectro Spring King for a cheap reverb as as well as one of those TC Electronics Fluorescence. I don't know what to do with the latter even though I've had it a while and it's friggin' cool (been using it on my Bass VI for weird droning). Anyway, I've had spring tanks in something since the 80s and lean toward loose springs when I can find them (had Standel twin with a crappy spring tank that nothing comes close to). Mostly, I don't do digital (OK the TC is digital and the Danelectro has a digital delay, but mostly I use old-assed pedals). I do a lot of punk, deathrock and experimental, rooted heavily in surf. Hell, I took up surfing (and I suck) for sake of truly understanding the sound. All that said, I ordered the Vave, on merit of this video. I have no real use for it, but it'll go in somewhere on the chain. The other reverb you show is okay, but the Vave sounds absurdly awesome and powerful from this demo. Personally, I've heard spring tanks that didn't sound as good as the spring setting on that (real tight springs? idfk). And yeah, it sounds a little off, but guessing it can be dialed out or unnoticable in a mix. That's my hot take.

[@TheJayTeeGee]

The high pitched whine is an absolute deal breaker on an otherwise great (for the price) reverb.

I mainly use modulation effects: Keeley Omni a Surfy-Bear metal, a Fulltone Deja' Vibe MkII, Dan Electro Chicken Salad and on-board spring reverb in my '65 Princeton. The only thing that sounds exactly like a spring reverb is a spring reverb. Doesn't mean pedals aren't any good. They bring their own thing to the table and sound great.

The Mini-Universe shares a LOT of similarities with the Hall of Fame Reverb 2 which I discovered after doing a side-by-side. No, they're not the same pedal, they just share several sounds/options. If anything, the M-U is probably more versatile, although some of the extra options may not appeal to you. At any rate, there's absolutely no question that the M-U is worth the money and, yes, you can gig with it.
