Forgot to mention,
Couple weeks back, saw Trad. to a T Band The Torquays and Steve
Soest was Trying out a new Reverb pedal called the "Holly Grail"
I think it was mentioned on here recently. Anyhow I was Very
Skeptical. I have heard a few different reveb simulators and thought
that they sounde more like hall echo than tank drip. But I was
honestly very surprised at how good this thing sounded. It has
3 settings Spring/Hall/Flerb(probably Flanger/Reverb).And a turn
knob for a 1 to 10 controll of how much effect. No dwell, no tone.
But it sounded pretty drippy to me. He set it on Hall and cranked it
to 10 to do Baja. And I got the chills I usually do, when they do
that song. 1 other draw back is(of course you can't kick it,for
crash effect). But that could also be used to a positive if you were
Playing on a bouncy stage, or parade float.And didn't want your
reverb crashing with every drum beat or shake of the vehicle. This
would be the perfect Remedy.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give the Holy Grail a 9. Very convincing
but not quite perfect.
Hope this sparks some interest/debate over true reverb vs. simulated.
No I'm not getting paid or getting a pedal out of the deal.
Altough it would be nice(hint hint)
But what would a bass player do with a reverb pedal?
Jeff(bigtikidude)
A trebly bass palm muted through a reverb tank sounds
awesome. My band was playing with stuff like that for
a little while because we're a 3 peice and the bass
has to cover a lot of rythem guitar stuff too. But in
the end it didn't really match our bassists playing
style and we decided it was too much of a hastle.
Try it some time.
