What could have been great
Frednugent 12.01.2022
Beautiful, lush, realistic, gorgeous sounding reverbs. So sweet that I kept the pedal even with the very annoying limitation of only 1 preset and no Midi. Yes it's 2022 and UA is selling a pedal with 1 preset and no midi.
It's ok for me because I use it in the studio and it works and sounds great. Reverb is an effect that you can get away with 1 preset.
I would not buy the other pedals in the line for live use because in any live setting I would want/need more than 1 preset.
This pedal is big and heavy FYI.
Come on UA add some presets in a firmware update!
---------------
Update! UA did add a firmware update and now there are presets available online. But I could not get my pedal to accept the update (even spoke directly with UA). In the end I kept the pedal because the sound is useful in the studio. Anyway even with the update you still only have 1 preset avaiable at a time unless you use the bluetooth app. So for a live concert that would be an impossibility anyway. After a few months with this pedal my advise is....there are better reverb pedal options than this.

The closest to a Lexicon Reverb
DavideS 24.04.2022
After owning more than a dozen reverb units out there included lexicon pcm 70 and 81, empress, strymons, I ended up with this one. To me it's the closest thing to a Lexicon without spending a fortune on a Chase bliss 1978.
This thing even heats up like a rack unit after 20 minutes that is on...it is that powerful!

The sound is perfection which is what it really matters to me the rest can be improved for sure. I'd love to have at least 4 presets instead of just 1 and I don't care about midi I don't see a reverb pedal like something you want to change presets for every song, Reverb is more like the foundation of the sound you leave it there on all the time maybe switching from plate to a hall to a room to a spring and that's it ! Therefore 4 presets would be Ideal however due to the nature of the reverb they should always being finally tweaked at the venue. I've never used a preset that didn't need to be tweaked at the gig...parameters like mix and feedback always need to be adjusted according to the venue and more or less also the other stuff needs to be adjusted that's why having 100 presets on a reverb unit makes no sense. I'd like just 4 ;) Although I love displays on reverb/delay pedals I don't really miss one here maybe we should learn to rely more on our ears than on displays. In conclusion I believe this reverb sound super creamy and natural and doesn't have all those weird unnatural artifacts that make other known brands famous for. +1 for the Golden!

Fantastic!
KuzeX 30.01.2022
This is by far my favourite pedal I have ever heard. I have it a few months now and it is always on at some capacity. It sounds incredible. And with the processor onboard it losses no fidelity when in stereo. The enclosure looks and feels amazing and is built like a tank.
Unless you are looking for a very ambient/spacey reverb, this is all you will ever need!

Best of the Best Reverb Sounds
Lazzaz 05.10.2022
If you don’t need midi tweakabilty and stored presets, this is the best Reverb pedal you can get. The super-realistic sound quality is unbeatable. Currently, in my opinion, nothing comes close to the Golden.
I don’t play live, only use at home & in studio. So cannot comment on how practical this is for live use (I assume there are better live solutions).
For me this Reverb is golden (pun intended).

Absolute TOP Reverb
Machadol1 10.10.2022
This unit is magnificent, very well built, gorgeous looking, and the sounds, THE sounds!
Best reverb sounds there are, as expected from UA… easy to dial in and control!
Only downside for me is the lack of M1D1

The best reverb for vocals
Ozzy zig needs a gig 19.09.2023
I wanted a reverb for vocals. I tried Talisman plate Catalinbread, Keeley 30ms Abbey reverb and all of them had low headroom and couldnt sing without clipping. Golden reverberator solved my problem has a high headroom of +12dbu and super fantastic plate chamber hall sounds plus you can save your own presets! I already have seven! Couldnt be happier!

Amazing classic reverbs
Flowsage 25.10.2024
I've enjoyed the reverbs, especially after upgrading the OS of the pedal, as well as register it. Before that it had some annoying issues with noise and incongruent stereo image, where one side faded out. Now it seems to be A-OK, plus you get som new potent algorithms. UA seems to make good stuff. This was one of my first pedals, especially a reverb of this boutique caliber. Would recommend, if this is the sound you're looking for.
