    These pedals started appearing a few years back - fairly reasonably priced, they seem fairly well built, and look pretty classy. Seems that Fender have gone for some of the similar territory and vibe that Strymon cover - so when Lenny bought me this for father's day I wanted to check it out!

    You play the most beautiful chord voicings, really highlighting the shimmer effects; so musical and tasteful playing. I'm glad to have found your awesome content. Fender did a great job with this pedal. It's certainly no Strymon, but it's definitely good!

    I haven't played a fender pedal yet, no doubt they would be underappreciated, pedal aficionados love the unique/obscure. Also its been a long time since we've seen dogs John, if we could fix that.

    Hi John - I have this pedal, and like it very much. It's simple and sounds good. I use it only as an alternative to my amp's reverb tank, so it's not an "always on" type of pedal. I have never used a Strymon so I can't offer an opinion on it.
    The only major complaint I have is the jewel light, it's blindingly bright to the point of being disorientating in a dimly-lit room. A minor complaint is that the flip door for the battery, although clever, feels fragile. Thankfully it's unneeded as I have a power supply on my pedal board.
    In my opinion, the star from this series of Fender pedals is called "The Bends", it's a compressor that gives me exactly what I want. However, I haven't tried them all, so...
    BTW, love your videos!

    There truly tons of reverb pedals out there and many compete with strymon reverb engines. VENTRIS from Source audio is amazing. And Meris has a bunch that blow strymon out of the water. I’m skeptical though open minded about Fender entries in this game.

    sounds beautiful but Strymon still makes the best reverb pedals. however the Chase Bliss Dark World is an epic reverb pedal as well.

    I think you get much more out of your Helix stomp and xl. And your favorite from what I can tell is almost always PLATE, without that, well it is one of my favorites for sure.

    • @lincognito4073
      @lincognito4073 Год назад +1

      They make a version of this that combines the Marine Layer and Mirror Image delay (with a few minor improvements), and it is stereo. A bit pricey at 350 tho...

    Fender's DSP seems to have been underrated for many years. Have owned the Super Champ x2 head for years and especially some of the Fender models in there are really good. Combined with the 6v6 tube power section and a proper cab, it's legit.

    A very unsung pedal is the MOOER R7 X2 which has 14 reverb algorithms, is stereo, saves a preset for each is at about the same price point and has a infinite button. It's just not my favorite color for a pedal.

    It looks like a generic design, similar to the Joyo Atmosphere pedal with the usual multi type knob and the rest is a similar layout. I wonder if these pedals are made in Indonesia or China.
