Six algorithms spanning classic through to spatial, 128 presets with MIDI, 9 presets onboard, Swell control, Sustain/Latch, Stereo i/o, full MIDI capability, USB for FW updates, etc. The R1 is very full featured, very full sounding and very much fun! I love that you can modulate all of the reverbs too. Oh, and three types of bypass. Bliss! My video could have gone on forever but I've kept it as short as possible to try and cover the works. The pedal is a good one. If you're after reverberation, seek out the R1.

You’re a great gear reviewer, sir. Kudos to you and here’s to much continued success!
Yes! I have the R1 pre-ordered and I have the mc8 as well. I love the idea of being able to turn on the swells with a foot switch! Thats going to be very useful!
How do you like it?
@@Floppa-oz1kp I didn’t have it too long, but it was great when I did have it! Very versatile. Ended up switching to a fractal audio setup for my whole rig though
Mako series by Walrus is fantastic. This is definitely the one to own.
Picked it up last week and love it. But that swell could be so valuable. They have to tame the swell.
Sounds great...looks to be almost a direct competitor to Source Audio Collider, which I own, without the delay.
Thanks Brett. 👍
Does the dry signal remain analog or is it also processed?
It’s also processed. No dry through and it feels like crap. My one went straight back. I have the D1 and it’s fantastic but they really missed the mark on this one. The one cool function is the latch which is fantastic. Such a shame about the rest.
Was there really that much of a lag with the new programming effecting the sound when you changed preset using the Midi? I could see how lot's of people would find that problematic (I plan on remaining a loyal Ventris user, so it doesn't affect me.. but still curious).
I think I heard some lag there, could be tripping though
😌🤘🔥
Do you think it's a Ventris killer? Trying to decide between the 2.
I've never tried a Ventris. Can't help, sorry.
I had a Ventris. I didn’t like it. I just picked the R1 up. I haven’t plugged it in yet because I’m waiting for my new amp to get here.
@@bennyharderguitar What did you dislike about the Ventris? I haven’t heard one in person
@@ratedepth it’s very brittle sounding. It’s ok. I sold mine.
