the mooer shimverb sucks

[Jwar]

Yea but EHX pedals die a LOT more than booteeek pedals. And they are generally a lot harder to work on yourself. Plus Ben says they suck even though he owns like 6 of them and probably has a full board of that shit and just lies to us all, you know, to make us feel better about him hatin on it?

Plus fuck you Mister Stomach! Your mind is closed bro! CLOSED!!!!! Reverb on bass is the tits bro! It can be overdone for sure, but ever hear of I dunno Isis? Not the extremist group, the band. Bass player loved verb and fucking rocked the cocks off!

i think that's the most responses i've ever gotten to anything i've ever posted. i should be a jerk more often!

i'm not actually a big isis fan, so i've never really paid attention to their bass tone. but i was thinking about it, and i do actually really like that weird reverb-y bass on the twin peaks theme song, so there you go.

It sounds like pixies farting.

That makes it sound 100% better than it actually is. All these shimmer reverb goons should hire you for their ads

Being in a Shoegaze band we're probably expected to use that shit, cos so many modern gaze bands and Post Rock bands have it all over their crappy crap. Fuck that. Anti-shimmer Shoegaze noise 4 life

I read somewhere that this pedal can give you cancer.

shimmer is for people making ambient music in their bedroom for youtube.

anyway yeah luckily the pedal sounds alright on bass cuz my bassist uses it after fuzz and it sounds like a whale waging war with a nuclear submarine in lava while the sun supernovas?

ill keep my OG holy grail and holy grail plus, thanks. THANKS.

I think it's mostly American Evangelical Christians that use shimmer based effects these days. They don't want to create cathedrals of sound like the Shoegazers, cathedrals are far too decadent and papist in origin!

I also think the Shimverb is lousy too... harsh and unusable.

I like the Reecho and Pitch Box the best, from Mooer. The current higher price tag makes it hard to justify, when there are Mooer clones like Donner and Eno (the copier gets copied).

Just dropping in to say this is the funniest thread I've read in a long while.

My understanding, from gutshots and the like, it that the Eno's aren't exact clones. Or, at the very least, often use lower quality components than the Mooer and Donner stuff.

If you're looking for cheap(er) Mooer alts, Donner and Monoprice are the way to go.
