11:50 Strymon's Big Sky, Blue Sky, and Cloudburst pedals all have cloud and shimmer settings that sound like this. The Fender Tone Master Pro also has modeled reverb pedals (Cloud, Celestial, Nebula, and Shimmer) that function similarly
Always enjoy your playing and tone Paul. It is easy to struggle with getting the effects exactly how you want them, especially for beginners. I remember the band I was in wanted to do a EVH song. I learned it but could not get the phaser to sound anywhere close to Eddys sound. I was getting quite frustrated when I read an article that said Ed used his phase 90 before the amp. As soon as I removed the phaser from the effects loop to the beginning of the chain, I was 90% there. Little nuances can make a huge difference in sounds. My recommendation is Experiment, and watch tutorials, like this one. Good job.
11:50 Poly Verbs is a pedal that does convolution reverb. It’s got IRs from some of the best churches and halls in the world. Plus, Lexicon 224 or 480l and a whole lot more.
This is great! Thank you! For live work I use Mr. Black Eterna Gold for a similar shimmer effect. It’s a much simpler interface but the quality is really great.
Great info and demo. Your rig sounds AMAZING all alone. The effects are like frosting on the cake. Because your rig is so clean with a very nice bite I was shocked when you kicked on the overdrive!!! I’m genuinely envious.
love this sort of content Paul, it can be quite addictive when dialing in these sorts of things in a DAW, especially when you get to this super wide parallel bussing/stereo stuff, or even with two amps, sort of like emulating a crazy W/D/D/W configurations, lots of fun in any case
The Valhalla reverbs sound a *bit* like the Strymon BigSky but thats horrible next to the new BigSky MX version. Also well worth a look (and a lot cheaper) is the Wampler Catacombs however I'm not sold on the DAC output stage and felt it was a little crumbly / powdery sounding, it could have been whatever gear it was demoed through though. Of course what you REALLY want is an Eventide pedal or rack processor ;o)
Paul - that was great and sounded fab. Sadly, I don't have that sort of gear but I go have a Strat and a Katana Gen 3 Head, so I challenge you to get that same lush tone only using that gear! Can you, will you????
You can check M-Vave Mini Universe for those kind of reverbs and it costs almost nothing ;) and I have to agree that all Valhalla plugins sounds awsome and are free. Nice tutorial by the way
Great video. I use those exact plugins man. Something similar but different to the Valhalla Shimmer is the shimmer reverb in the Tim Henson plugin from Neural DSP. I sometimes turn off the entire plugin except that reverb and stick it at the end of my signal chain.
Nice! - CloudSeed algorithmic reverb VST plugin sounds Similar to Valhalla too. Always put it on keys - never thought of trying on guitar.. until now ;)
Sometimes I wish my pedals/modeller sounded as good as plugins. I have a GX100 and find the quality of the effects just so so. I bought a Golden Reverborator and the quality is so much better than the Boss reverbs in the GX. Perhaps I need to fiddle with the GX more.

Paul is the master of tone and 9ths
Holy crap, that opening tone was simply beautiful!

The Headrush has some great special verbs too.
Great vid! I always love hearing how guitarists get their tone.
Thanks!
That Valhalla Shimmer is beautiful.
yeah its a great plug
Love it Paul! That guitar sounds wonderful!
Great tutorial. Very helpful indeed. Thanks Paul!
Awesome video! Loved to hear "sweet disposition" when you showed how you set up your delays!

Why does it always sound amazing when you are playing, Paul? 😉

very well explained, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I like the way you hold the guitar and picking too! Amazing accuracy
All excellent advice. And thanks for the Valhalla suggestion, I have a few of their plugins and they are great, this one too 👍🏼

Great video, educational and the chord progressions sound amazing. Great playing allows the effects to stand out…
Love some shimmer, especially on acoustic. Hall of fame 2, I find, has a decent shimmer.
Great video, Paul, as per usual!! Thanks a bunch from Canada! 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Excellent, Paul - like a trip down memory lane to when you were doing general production and mixing videos :)
So true!
Videos like this increase the GAS for that wonderful guitar! 😍
cheers Greegor
Whats the name of that guitar?)
@ it’s a valiant, all the details are in the notes.
The Kemper modulated reverbs are pretty epic
Great tips Paul, thanks!
Very informative and helpful!
Hi Paul, EHX Oceans 11 has a beautiful shimmer that sounds similar to the Valhalla
Great tios and tricks as always!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👋🏼
Très intéressant, merci Paul.

Strymon pedals do those shimmer modulated sounds. The cloudburst is a bit more affordable than the bigger pedals.
I loved this video!! Congrats!!

Love it ! Can you make a patch for the boss katana please 🙏🏼
Have you tried an Eventide Black Hole pedal for modulated reverb?
You should do a quick vid lesson on those lush chords! 👍
Thanks for this great video

Sounds amazing !
That shimmer reminds me of the shimmer setting on the Keeley Caverns pedal - to my amateur ears anyway...
Awesome info
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Paul - great stuff. I’m sure you have heard of the Strymon Cloudburst.? To my ears it sounds a lot like the Valhalla.
I’ve heard of it but haven’t tried it, cheers for the tip!
You always sound amazing (even if you play a broom 🤣) Thank you!
What a fantastic video Paul have a great day also last night was my friend birthday November ❤😊 12
Have you tried the Boss RV-6 or the Strymon Cloudburst?
The keeley Halo, get close to the shimmer but it is delay not reverb. But it’s worth a check..🤘
Great tips! Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
Sounds great Paul, if you wanna try out my cloudburst pedal let us know. Sounds incredible for the verbs.
Its been out for a while now, but the GFI Specular Tempus caneasily be toe to toe with Valhalla.
Sometimes I wish my pedals/modeller sounded as good as plugins. I have a GX100 and find the quality of the effects just so so. I bought a Golden Reverborator and the quality is so much better than the Boss reverbs in the GX. Perhaps I need to fiddle with the GX more.
Now dial it in like an amateur
I bet he can't 😂
Like i bet he couldn't even pretend to play like an amateur anymore lol
you should hear the outtakes!
I can show you how to do that. I'm a pro at it.
😂😂 hold my beer …🍺🍻
@ Haha post them!! It would honestly be pretty interesting to see you dialing this in.
Could you do this for a rhythm tone, please? Great video as always.
This is my basic goto everything. lead rhythm etc
I use the MXR Carbon Copy. It's a pretty simple pedal.
Any chance you can do this with a mono reverb? I've always struggled to make mono reverb sound good.
The JET Revelation reverb is the closest to the Valhalla shimmer plug in.
That guitar sounds lush.
The amp isn’t shabby too
Appreciate the info Paul, that shimmer pulled my heart strings more than Megan Fox in a bikini.......well nearly.
Nice one
What overdrive pedal did you use?
Delay no reverb, here notes better.😊
Paul just dialed up more reverb than God.
Keeley caverns has shimmer
Very similar to my Keeley Caverns reverb…to my ears at least
sus chords sound so good
Why Valiant sells guitar at $2500 starting point? Is it insane?
It's not insane if people buy them, which clearly they do
If you use my discount code you are not paying 2.5, also it’s still half the price of a fender custom shop for the same quality
