I'm trying out the demo version of Amplitube Fender, which also has a 63 Reverb emulator. It actually sounds very good, quite convincing, but it uses up a lot of RAM, especially with the Dwell/Mix cranked - much more than just the amp emulator.

Which makes me think we won't be seeing any realistic digital '63 Reverb emulating pedals in the near future - a pedal isn't going to have the processing power of a PC.

This demo defused and curiosity I had about that unit. Pedal alternatives are interesting, not that any can replace outboard units. I have a Hermida reverb pedal on the way ... we'll see what that one can do.

Are we comparing it to a tank, or to another pedal here? We all agree that a tank is the way to go, but how does it sound compared to the digiverb/grail/insert other pedal here?? Some of us are still stuck using "cheap" pedals instead of making the jump to a tank.

(of course, if I don't go to the convention I could buy a tank. Decisions.....decisions. Hmmm

)

I think I have made a decision to add to my credit card debt and purchase a reverb tank finally. Smile

Excited!

I dont think its an alternitive to the tank, just something that someone that wouldent buy a tank would use. Want more verb than the RV3 but hundreds less than the tank.

Its a good thing to have on the market.

I still stand buy that it sounds like a RI tank, bright and thin

The surf portion of the video is bogus anyways....we cant argue yet untill we get a good clip or someone trys the thing.

Do i think it will suck.....yes
Do i think it will be better than holy grail or any other shitty ped on market....yes
do i think its cool for $100 bucks...yes
Will i sell my tanks and play gigs with it or even ever own one?....NO

I agree with Scot in that, I am thinking it will have the edge over the simulated reverb effect pedal market.
