I'll remember the Magicstomp in case my "rack experiment" fails. looking forward to that a Beautiful clip, thanks for sharing. I hope that the Quadraverb will arrive some time during the next week because I'm planning to spend the best part of the next weekend in our room alone with my amp and the Quadraverb. Whatever is decided on, IMO it would be better to choose something that has a bit of a track record of knowing that it simply works, as opposed to "this (new) box offers A, B, and C," IMO.įirst off, sorry for answering so late but we just spent two days in our rehearsal space. Maybe even a box on the floor w/send & receive might be sufficient - who knows? Point being - whatever concession had to be made to get it to work as a line-level device could probably be overcome. I know that amp has an FX loop, but it's not like it's some modern hand-crafted wonder - it's a standard mass-produced amp. TTBOMK, the TC Electronic M350 Reverb is plugged into a JCM2000 set for clean operation (by S.R.).

Is it affordable? It looks like it's CURRENTLY $200USD, which is possibly less than a great many reverb pedals.Īnd whether or not it's a _-genre reverb, I know it "just works" from the countless hours I've spent listening to Sigur Ros, both their studio stuff AND their live stuff. Do I think it will get you those 'verb sounds? I have strong feeling that it might. IDK if it's been mentioned yet, and someone could easily say "that's not Shoegaze by a long shot," but when I think of "non-standard" reverb and having it work both in studio and on stage, I will ALWAYS think of Sigur Ros, which brings me to the TC Electronic M350 Reverb. Basically, I'm by far the "nerdier" of us two guitarists, so more often than not, the "crazy sounds" job falls to me and tbh, I love it! Of course those are parts not everybody needs or wants to use (depending on music genre / play style / preference) and it's not like I'm using them all the time but we do have a large number of songs where the songs can really benefit from choosing and using the right types / amounts of effects. In general, I really like effects and I like tweaking them, experimenting with them - I don't view them as toys or pastimes but as a part of the instrument. For the songs in question, I don't think that a little static noise or whatever problems might arise should be noticeable, at least not live - they're very loud and very "dense" songs for lack of a better term. If noise / loss of dynamics / anything else should end up being a problem, I do have two different true bypass loopers lying around so there's always the option to switch the Quadraverb out of the signal path for the rest of our songs. I should still be able to use it for (home) recording purposes.Ĭlick to expand.Before I really start looking into looper pedals etc., that's exactly what I'm going to do once the Quadraverb arrives - in that context it's good to hear that it's supposed to be guitar friendly.
GUITAR RIG PRESETS SHOEGAZE PLUS
In other news, I found a dirt-cheap Alesis Quadraverb Plus online - I'm ready to jump on it and already contacted the seller - if I indeed get it and even if I end up not liking it, I've invested considerably less than for any other stomp box I own, so I'm more than willing to take that risk. I'd just turn it on / select a new preset between songs and just switch it into the signal chain by using the looper pedal. That solution (if at all possible) wouldn't need much space on the pedal board (one additional box) and I'd only need a few more cables to run from the box to the reverb unit and back.Īs long as the unit itself can be used and programmed from the front panel, I wouldn't even need a midi controller. The additional loop would include one dedicated dirt box to run after the reverb. If something like that could be built, I'd put this looper pedal either after my dirt pedals or at the end of my chain - so the dirt (or all effects) on the board can be run into the rack reverb unit. I'm thinking of some kind of a true bypass looper (to be able to switch the rack unit out of the signal path when it's not needed) which includes some kind of limiter / preamp / booster / whatever to deal with the line / instrument level problem (I need to research this more) and maybe with an additional loop added. Maybe I could even get away with using only one additional box on my board.

Again, thanks a lot, Meshgearfox - because of people like you, this is the definitive place to go, even with such rather outlandish (reverb) questions.
