So I need a new reverb. EHX Cathedral lights failed, stops working here and there etc.
A few things that I would like but its okay if the one you recommend has none of these:
100% dry signal knob. Not a single mix knob, but two separate knobs for the dry signal and the reverb i.e. you can have 100% dry and 100% reverb at the same time rather 50/50, 75/25, etc. Most pedals don't have this which is a shame. I know the argument is the reverb volume will just take over your dry signal anyway, but I like having that underlying texture almost always like in a reverb plug in. I know the Blackout Effectors reverb and Walrus Audio Descent have this.
Would also prefer a three way EQ or a more sophisticated tone parameters rather than singular tone/dampen knobs but again, barely any pedal would have this.
Some sort of feedback parameter so it can self oscillate, but it may oscillate without a feedback knob present.
Been thinking about the Strymon BigSky, Im not gonna get one now cos of the price but the chorale preset alone, Im getting my hands on that no doubt eventually. Digitech Polara sounds sweet but can it self oscillate? Right now I think the Earthquaker Afterneath is in the driving seat atm. But the thing with reverbs, they're a lot like dirt pedals. You only really know when you try it for yourself.
