This demo video of GFI System Specular Reverb 2 highlights the sound versatility and capabilities of the pedal. Setup : Guitar -- Specular Reverb 2 -- Audio Interface.
Have to say GFI are a very helpful company. Wrote some questions and got answers back immediately. Just wanted to post a thank you and say that such customer attention is very rare these days. Thank you!
When something sounds as jaw-dropping as this in a 480p video, you know you should pay extra attention. I'm almost speechless. And I've played with more effects and reverbs that I can remember right now. The only reverb approaching this that comes to mind is Eventide's algorithms, especially Black Hole and Shimmer - in a pedal form, in Space and H9 (I've had the Space in the past). But (a) they are much more expensive than this - more than 2x the price, (b) you might very easily get lost in the gazillion controls that they have, while this is just very simple and pre-dialed to sound gorgeous. A big, big thumbs up. You won a customer!
This pedal is freakin amazing! Can't wait to try one out :) I'm loving the reverb options that are coming out these days, each pedal is more amazing than the last. This pedal looks like it could take on Strymon!
its really just unreal how good it is. whenever I've brought it to any studio, all the engineers ears perk up. I almost want to buy a backup incase anything ever happened to the one I got
@@jscordoba3 buy a back-up! I have been robbed three times ... God more than replaced everything over time, but if I could afford the duplicate, no time like the present if it is an intrinsic part of your sound. God bless you and keep you safe and healthy and happy 😊 🎵🎶❗️ Happy 2021...
These pedals..reverb/ delay pedals are the only pedals that I have ever seen or heard that would give my Strymon pedals competition...but these are priced less, which could be a winner in a guitar players wallet.I'm impressed!
This pedal sounds incredible. I've seen a few comments here about the people at this company being nice people and that's exactly the type of people I want my money going to. I'll definitely pick up one of these pedals eventually. Thanks for the great demo video!
This pedal is amazing! I get the same sound as shown in this demo. Its not been polished in some studio to make it sound better, it realy sounds like this.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh Broke down and ordered one from GFI Systems tonight. I cant wait to loop this pedal through my mesa boogie. 5-7 days wont get here soon enough.
Beautiful reverb pedal and great demo. Definitely keeping an eye on this. I cant believe its still so relatively unknown. Sounds better then some much more popular and expensive pedals.
Nice demo! I've saw another demo from rig rig rig and yeah this a versatile reverb pedal. This pedal very suitable for Psychedelia or Post-Rock Music, because you can experiment with amazing flexible reverb!
Cole Lewis We were using a Carvin electric guitar with Neck+Middle pickups activated, which gives a fairly acoustic-like sound. An acoustic guitar was used only for the Echo mode at 6.10.
Bought this about a year and a half ago. I have loved it ever since. However, there was always that itch to hear the Strymon Blue Sky. Just tried a Blue Sky at the local Ken Stanton. The Specular blows the Blue Sky out of the water!!!! By a long shot! I know a lot of people want the The Blue Sky for the shimmer, but shimmer is lacking compared to the Specular. The Blue Sky seemed too complicated to dial into a good sound, the Specular sounds good all the time. I play worship music about 90% of the time and the Specular is a must. Congregants and the musicians I play with always ask me "How do you get that sound?" Easy - THE SPECULAR! Even when I play the devil's music ;) in a cover band I use it, and get the same question. On my pedal board the Specular is as important as my overdrives. That's my two cents worth.
It's the best reverb pedal I've ever owned , and I own the bigsky.....this is much more full longer lasting trails. Just an all around beautiful pedal.
I have the Big Sky and I can easily see where this would add another dimension to the board. Would love to run a synth through this as well as guitar. I hope they are available in Japan soon. Would love to play one. Bigsky may get bumped to the synth board and have this on guitar.
It is like you took what was in my head and created the perfect reverb pedal. Best Shimmer I have heard, doesn't sound cheap, but lush and pleasing. When is the next batch coming out? Can i preorder. 100% better than the bigsky.
Clay Jenkins Hi Clay, thanks for the compliments! Yes you can pre-order, the pedal should be ready in 7-10 days. Alternatively you can leave your email address and I'll notify you as soon as it becomes available.
Very nice. But since buying a Moore Ocean Machine, all my other reverb/delay/loopers have taken a back seat. It does everything except fly around the room. 🤷🏼♂️

Has the Specular Reverb 2 a new logo whit white knobs? In Brazil, I don't found the pedal like this of the video. And in the site of GFI there isn't images or information about the new logo. Can you help me?
No we have not shipped any pedals with the new logo to Brazil up to now. We will be updating the pictures and photos on the website with the logo very soon.
Amazing! In the ifinity mode can you stop the backround sound completely and the press the button again to get a new backround sound whenever you want? Or you only can get a new backround sound in order to stop the previous one?
You can either stop the background sound or you can immediately get a new one, whenever you want. The procedure to stop the sound or to start a new one is exactly the same. To stop the current background sound simply start a new sound with you not playing anything, so the recorded sound is the 'silent' sound.
If you connected only the left output will you get full stereo sound on your amp? Otherwise, will an insert cable with two mono jacks(left-right-connected to the pedal) and one stereo jack(connected to the amp) work in getting both left and right signal into one amplifier?
By definition you won't get stereo sound with only one amp, you really need two (or one amp with two outputs going to two speaker cabinets). But If your amp has stereo input, then yes you can use that insert cable (Y-cable) to get the full stereo outputs to your amp.
Thank you for your immidiate reply! What i meant is how to have both left and right output sound(not to loose the frequencies played only left or only right) in a mono amp device.
It's not possible to have both left and right output sound into a mono amp device. But it's not something to worry about, taking only one output doesn't mean you are losing frequencies or anything.
Hi Corey, the pedal will be back in stock in the 1st half of August. Currently we don't have a dealer in England but you can place an order from our webstore.
Dear GFI, beautiful pedal. Just bought V2. Can you please tell us how you record your demos (which mics, amp, preamp?) Great sound from the pedal but the recording is also superb. Would love to capture the Sr like you do. Pray tell ☺️
Hello, all the audio in this demo were recorded straight to an audio interface, no miking involved. It was Guitar (Cavin Bolt+ model, mostly neck + middle pickup in parallel configuration), into Specular Reverb V2, into audio interface.
My Spec Rev is a beautiful thing but I can't, for the life of me, work out the Infinity mode. It seems quite random. Even the demo shows the switch on S for infinity (in the Red mode) but the manual says it should be on I. Whatever I try, I can't seem to get it to work consistently. Leaving Damping and Intensity at 12 o'clock certainly doesn't do it for me. Sometimes it works when Intensity is at 9 o'clock and Intensity will work when it catches but it is very rare. A faulty unit perhaps? The Blend also has almost no effect (completely off) at 11 o'clock. Bit disappointed..
I doubt the pedal is faulty, if it was then the function wouldn't work at all. Only a very brief period of sound is captured when you release the switch, you need to time it correctly, if you release the switch when the sound level was actually low then it may seem that it didnt work.
Thanks for your quick reply. Most appreciated and respect to you. I think I have mastered it. I have pull the switch off "I" and back on to it and then it works for sure. Enjoying it totally now. I still might upgrade to the Tempus and Triple Switch. Seems great for control and minimising the pedal board (and amazing sound.) A quick question... in the Tempus, if a preset is selected one can easily footswitch on and off the reverb or delay parts independently? And the Tempus contains all of the Clockwork delay magic and more? Cheers again.
藤野欽也 There is a dealer in Japan that carries our product but they don't have this one yet. I will ask them if they would like to get this pedal. We can also ship the pedal directly to you if you want.
Quite possibly the best reverb pedal demo I've ever heard. Stunning.
Still hanging for more demos of this beast Brett!
Have to say GFI are a very helpful company. Wrote some questions and got answers back immediately. Just wanted to post a thank you and say that such customer attention is very rare these days. Thank you!
Cheshmeh Tokyo, I have had the same experience. Really nice people.
Strymon who?
This pedal is the perfect sounding reverb!
I like the subtly of the shimmer and delay on its entrance into the signal. Nice demo.
wajobu Thank you, yes it's been designed purposely that way to achieve majestic shimmer sound without muddying up the mix.
The "Voices" setting combined with the Auto Intensity is one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard a pedal created. Ordered!
Came for the pedal. Stayed for the music.
So do I :-)
I also.....
(+/- modulated setting....it is a personal bias🤔☺️
Keren banget pedalnya! Produk Indonesia yang berkualitas internasional!
Kira2 harganya brp nih bang..

A big, big thumbs up. You won a customer!
i like your outlook on this. It is simplified yeah and it makes a musicians life easy.
You do realise the 480p is in regard to the video quality right and nothing to do with the audio?
Immerse kills the Specular reverb.
This pedal is freakin amazing! Can't wait to try one out :) I'm loving the reverb options that are coming out these days, each pedal is more amazing than the last. This pedal looks like it could take on Strymon!
I've just found the perfect ambient reverb pedal.

Happy 2021...
Been looking for a reverb like this for my synth. I am convinced this is it...thanks for sharing the wonderful music
Ive met mas Henry a couple times, the most humble person i ever met... Keep up the goodwork mas... All the best
The tune in 3:25 is pretty impressive, loveable massive feedback, great job!
Не могу подобрать аккорды этой мелодии. Может вы подскажете?
I can't wait to buy this, sounds better than the timeline and space in my opinion. Close to my pcm70

best.reverb.pedal.ever
How is this even possible? just wow
WOW! I just discovered this video and pedal by accident and I love the sounds that are coming from it!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

I was never a huge fan of reverb in general but this is something else. Outstanding.

Stunning, beautiful ambience.
Thank you all for the kind words!
+GFI System Using an acoustic guitar here?
Cole Lewis We were using a Carvin electric guitar with Neck+Middle pickups activated, which gives a fairly acoustic-like sound. An acoustic guitar was used only for the Echo mode at 6.10.
+GFI System Oh cool, I use a Carvin usually on the neck/middle position tapped/split too! Makes me want the pedal even more.
Cole Lewis If your pickups are C22N and AP11 then you will nail the sounds in the demo :)
Why do I think that Specular Reverb v2 is better than Specular Reverb v3 in terms of natural reverb sound?
Amazing reverb..!!!
Nice demo :)

blueSky too complicated to dial a good sound,there are like five knobs.Thats too complicated?
Fantastic sound and great guitar playing.
The best that i ever listen!
super friendly to deal with buying mine next week, cant wait
It's the best reverb pedal I've ever owned , and I own the bigsky.....this is much more full longer lasting trails. Just an all around beautiful pedal.
Bro where can I buy these , I am from India and we don't have these here....
truly amazing tone. Great demo.
So in love with these pedals
I have the Big Sky and I can easily see where this would add another dimension to the board. Would love to run a synth through this as well as guitar. I hope they are available in Japan soon. Would love to play one. Bigsky may get bumped to the synth board and have this on guitar.
Wow spectacular never heard such good algorythm.

Min ini pedal bisa di-ship ke Malaysia gak? Atau sudah ada dealernya di sini min? Enak bangat soundnya!
Derlys Run Bisa ship ke Malaysia, saat ini belum ada dealernya di sana.
How much? Im from mexico, where can i buy it?
gorgeous.
is there tap tempo?
This pedal does not have tempo, its replacement : Specular reverb V3 has it.
Looks like I'm going to need to sell some gear then...
GFI, do you have a distributor/dealer here in the philippines?
Hi Jeff, at the moment we do not have any dealer in the Philippines.
Shame it doesn't have a few different types of reverb but it sure sounds nice.
What guitar was used in this demo? I have this pedal but my sound is not as clear as I hear in this demo.
Actually, it sounds pretty much just like the demo when I am connected straight to the interface instead of an amp
Carvin Bolt+, mostly with neck and middle pickup combined.
I couldn't find this reverb online. Why ain't anyone selling them?
G X H it's been replaced with version 3, same sounds, better features and user interface.
My Spec Rev is a beautiful thing but I can't, for the life of me, work out the Infinity mode.
It seems quite random. Even the demo shows the switch on S for infinity (in the Red mode) but the manual says it should be on I.

Is it possible to buy this in Japan?

GFI System when will you ship your product to Japan's dealer? I'll travel to Japan at May, and I hope I can try this pedal out. :)

This pedal is true bypass?
