Plate and Spring in one pedal ?

• New Topic

derekirving Joined: Nov 03, 2011 Posts: 658	Posted on Apr 22 2017 09:12 AM Looking for suggestions for a Reverb pedal with Spring and Plate. For reference (at least in pedals) I enjoy Topanga for Spring and Dr Scientist Reverberator for Plate. I don't play surf, so I don't need a bunch of drip. Looking for late 50's reverb ala Bo Diddley, Duane Eddy, Eddie Cochran, Sun Records, etc I know there's a ton, but interested in recommendations here. The one I've been looking has been Hardwire RV-7. Top

Slap back, tape style delay/echo is what you are hearing in those artists' sounds. I agree with Las Barracudas - The Zoom MS-70 or MS-50 is a very versatile and good sounding choice.

derekirving Joined: Nov 03, 2011 Posts: 658	Posted on Apr 22 2017 11:03 AM cool i'll check it out. I'm typically an analog delay or dry player - some gigs require reverb though. Top

I'm not sure either, but as stated it offers some really good reverbs and delays. Pre-sets include a slap-back, echo, 63 Spring, room reverbs, plates, etc, and you can adjust the parameters on just about all of them. — METEOR IV on reverbnation Top
Agent71857 Joined: Apr 15, 2014 Posts: 164 Pittsburgh, Pa	Posted on Apr 22 2017 03:10 PM I use a TC Electronic hall of fame reverb. Great spring & plate and your dry signal is passed thru untouched! I love mine. There are also a few other great sounding verbs in there as well. There's a great modulated reverb that I use on spookier stuff. Just the verb is modulated. Your straight signal is unntouched. — www.instagram.com/_the.outer.limits_ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX7iIpcAvL8In2HY9I7QoPw www.theouterlimits.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/vertigogo.surf Top

They're both worth a youtube research session if you're unfamiliar. I have the Echorec and hope to get a Deco at some point. I realized it's the only flanger I have eyes (ears) for. Top

Rob_J Joined: Sep 29, 2007 Posts: 500 Sacto, CA	Posted on Apr 26 2017 01:34 PM About the Zoom MS units...what is the learning curve like? I tend to shy away from pedals that require a lot of dial tweaking but the idea of having a great delay, reverb, echo etc. all in one pedal is appealing. I'm mostly a "set it and forget it" kind of player but if the Zoom is fairly easy to program and use I could see value in owning one. I seldom, if ever need more than three or four different sounds but having those sounds all in one place might be cool. Currently I'm using a Hall of Fame mini for reverb and a Strymon El Capistan for delays, with a single setting on each that never gets moved much. Top

Rob, I didn't find the MS to bee too difficult to navigate. There is a lot in the unit for sure but it's interface is pretty good. I don't usually learn multiple menu platforms naturally or quickly but The MS-50 wasn't too bad for me. A bigger problem is that like you, I tend to set things and leave them and when I go back a few months later to add or change something I have to jog my memory.

Sounds like you're doing just fine there, pedal wise. If it ain't broke...

A bigger problem is that like you, I tend to set things and leave them and when I go back a few months later to add or change something I have to jog my memory. One thing that is nice is that for each pedal model the three top knobs work as on an analog pedal and control the usual, three important functions of that particular model. So for the delays your three, actual knobs control amount, time and feedback. This allows quick adjustments on the fly. You can then scroll, click to go "deeper" on the settings but not parameters that you'd usually be messing with live.

Reverb17 Joined: Jun 14, 2006 Posts: 490 NYC	Posted on Apr 26 2017 02:42 PM Take a look at the Strymon Flint reverb/tremolo pedal. The 70's setting on the reverb section is a plate reverb setting and the 60's setting is a really good spring. The added bonus are some great tremolo types - '61 harmonic tremolo, '63 tube tremolo, and '65 photo cell. — TarantinosNYC TarantinosNYC FB page The WrayCyclers FB page Rockaway Beach Surf Music Festival Last edited: Apr 26, 2017 14:44:10 Top

Why is it that us guitar players always seem to be wanting to "fix what ain't broke". (or I guess I should maybe speak for myself). Top
