    I love this demo! I have never seen any of your demos before. I subscribed about half way through 'cause I want more. I, too, like the v1 over the v2. I think it sounds more musical/natural.
    The one thing I miss on almost every reverb pedal I've tried in the last ten years is "first reflection." I had a Yamaha Rev7 back in the 80's. First Reflection is that immediate slapback that comes off hard surfaces, like the floor or a wall behind you, before the actual reverberation comes back. It makes a reverb sound so much more natural.
    Anywhooo ... Great demo! Thanks for posting it.

    for future videos you have to play staccato when demoing a reverb pedal so we can hear the reverb decay

    adding the jfet has added harmonics

      I guess this is exactly the main reason to sound different

    Great comparison. I totally agree, V1 is less overpowering and "sits back" more than V2, which I also prefer. Thanks!✌

    I like the V2. It sounds more natural on youtube. I would have to be in person to really get the full idea.

    Toller Video-Ansatz! Meine bescheidene Meinung: Version 2 ist für mich klar besser. Du kriegst den "natural sound" ja eingestellt, aber eben auch crispier. Nächster Vorteil: Tremolo-LED. Und Midi/Firmware-Upgrades. Da gibt es also wohl kaum eine Diskussion. Hinzu kommt, dass V1 wohl abverkauft und dann teurer wird. Also holt euch alle noch schnell eins! Was mich persönlich aber interessieren würde (wozu es keine konkrete Aussage gab): hattest du die Pedale jetzt wirklich vor dem Amp oder in der Effekt-Schleife (wo ein Reverb/Tremolo-Pedal für meinen persönlichen Geschmack hingehört)?

    I presume that when you have both sides on, the Reverb is before the Tremolo, yes?

      You can easily change the order!

      Yes, it comes stock with it set Verb->Trem, you can switch it but I feel it's best that way.

  • @phladjki

    Might want to check that pre-delay. Might not be zero on V1, and that could easily be the difference between the verb laying behind the guitar or not.

    • @MadebyMiike
      @MadebyMiike  Рік тому +6

      Is there actually a way to change the pre-delay on the V1? As far as I am aware there isn't.

    V1 sounds more "transparent". V2 is definitively doing something to the eq of the guitar. The DiG V2 does the same.

    V1 you can hear the lower strings clearly , more transparent ….i think

    Is the V2 Spring reverb (60s) any drippier?

    I've heard people refer to the "Strymon sheen", and I feel there's some truth to that. I don't know if it's the buffer or algorithm choice, but most Strymon pedals sound like an idealised 80s rack version rather than broken 70s equipment. It's too clean, at least for those of us looking for actual broken 70s sounds. They have great hardware, decent algorithms and especially fantastic MIDI implementations in their most recent pedals (looking at you, UAFX!), but it's not broken analogue 70s equipment. Perhaps UAFX pedals get closer to the raw sounds sometimes, but then you've got to miss MIDI and expression pedal input, and are stuck into UA's customer unfriendly ecosystem registration system and need an account to control a guitar pedal.
    I wonder if Strymon, UA or perhaps Walrus are going to come out with an all in one modeller or effects unit.

      Source Audio's emulations on the True Spring,- which also offers a fully programmable Tremelo,- is much more natural and broader ranging than Strymon.I don't dislike Strymon, but I don't find them conducive to the rawer vibes I look for.
      The Spring is the best digital outside of the real thing.( I currently use the Surfybear ,which is excellent).

    I have V1 is it worth buying the V2 in your opinion? We don’t use midi. How much difference does Jfet make?

    • @MadebyMiike
      @MadebyMiike  Рік тому +3

      If you don't use midi I see no reason to upgrade. V1 sounds better imho.

    • @velvetstarlings

      Thanks Mike as we have v1 but have a offer on Reverb now for V2 $269.99 what’s your thoughts as we won’t use secondary knob … also are well versed in dig and el cap ? V1 / v2

    the v1 its much better sound more real reverb than the v2, just look the final eco end in each sound

    You are absolutely wright the V1 sounds more natural to me. The V2 sounds more digital.

      ​@@MadebyMiike by the way: one of the best pedal reviews ever ( I also don't like effects, that alter the warmth and the characteristics of the guitar - and I hate it, when the effect is in the way of the guitar tone : )
