Way overpriced with little innovation and much hype

0x80 13.11.2024

For this price I was expecting to get really good reverbs. Something to maybe replace my Empress Reverb that is starting to feel dated. I bought the Empress at the time, because it was better sounding and more versatile than the Big Sky, but surprisingly I still think it is!

Of course the Big Sky has a unique sound and if that's what you're after, I would recommend picking up the original second-hand for cheap.

This pedal is 90% the old dated algorithms packaged differently with a premium price tag. I am not interested in running two not-so-great algorithms in parallel.

That they made this more expensive than the Mercury X, without adding a ton of greatly improved algorithms, seems absolutely delusional to me.

For a bit more money you can get the Chase Bliss CMX (also mostly Meris), which is my favorite, because of the simplicity / UX.

I'm also holding on to my Empress Reverb, because it can sound very different and still good enough. It is ridiculous that a 10-year old reverb, costing half the price, is still beating this thing.

My best guitar pedal ever

Tudor Verde 29.10.2024

This blue box made the guitar sound of my dreams real. I always dreamed of this ethereal sound and now I have it. A little pricey but it's awesome. Playing 2 reverbs at once is an amazing feature. The only downsides I see with this pedal is the third switch (infinite) which is less useful than a bank browsing one or a third effect in the bank.
