Robert Little agreed the 100% tones video by tc (wich are normally great) was pretty disappointing to be honest. I hope better demo by tc comes out as well
joe jefferson I see what you mean. The first version had all the classic reverb sounds in one box. This one seems made to be an ambient reverb pedal and sometimes sounds not natural at all. It's probably not a bad pedal. But they should have give it another name and colour.
Hey Robert, I hope you meant it when you wish me a nice life ! I fucking love this channel, that's why I subscribed. But I already own an ambient reverb pedal. I'm looking for a more "classic" one. I hope I made my thoughts clearer. My comment wasn't made to be aggressive or something. Have a nice life too and enjoy the good music and the good gear !
Your ambient tones are the best around the internet. I'm tired listening to people who pretend showing a reverb in mono, with home presets. A real ambient reverb must be showed in stereo, and in all its power.
Thank you! I have been looking for something to “church up” my sound, when playing at church. TC Electronic makes a wonderful product. I own their Dark Matter Distortion pedal. I absolutely love it and use it every day. I was running a little distortion with some delay and a little chorus, to fill in the power chords and give them more body. You have officially sold me on this pedal. I was looking at the Boss RV6, but this has a wider range of tones that I will actually use. Thank you again!
I was debating which reverb pedal to buy to take over from my HX Stomp when I want it to focus on other things, and was hunting for good reviews of it. You're a master of this kind of thing and it was awesome to see you'd done a great review on it. Thank you!
Since I stumbled upon your site a month ago, I look at your site first for product reviews and demos. Another wonderful and thoughtful product review. This is my next purchase thanks in large part to your great review and demo. Thanks, Bill. You are inspiring me to travel the ambient path. I'm 65 and playing in a classic rock band. But this touches the quiet part of my musical heart.❤
Terrific walkthrough! I got this pedal yesterday and wasn't having any luck with the MASH function except on preset 3, but seeing how you adjusted the level and decay through the various types shows me where I went wrong. Thanks!
I just got this pedal yesterday. Oh My Gosh. It's an instant ambient machine. And of course, when I wanted to get a bit more insight into how to use it I immediately go to your channel.
Wonderful review! Thank you very much! I haven't tried this pedal but have the delay equivalent the flashback 2 which is just amazing! This seems very similar in terms of upgrades. The mash thing really is incredible, you can get so much expression out of it! Takes the sound into the heavens.
That’s really great thing with your expression pedal. I was waiting for something like this. Finally an expression pedal without pedal for a smaller footprint.
The number three "Tone Print" has some overtones that remind me of the Fripp and Eno "Prophecy Theme" from that Dune movie that got mad back in the '80s. That tune was probably the best part of that movie.
I love the new mash function. That makes this a serious tool for $99! Its also very brave of TC. Companies don't often release iterations that make all previous versions immediately and completely obsolete.
Impressed :) Just ordered a full menu of TC Electronic pedals: Hall of fame2, Corona, Vortex and Flashback ( jury still out on Brainwaves) to go along with my two Streicfetts. If they will be here next week, so I'll be having most exciting Christmas holiday
Thank you! This demo brought out interesting aspects not presented in other demos. Now I have to sneak one home and sell my old Hall of Fame (still a favorite)
Sweet. Just got this pedal along with the FB2. Watched a bunch of demo vids talking about tech stuff but light on really demoing out sounds. Thanks for this vid!
Looks like I'll be buying another TC pedal. Thanks for the excellent review. Tore should have you visit TC in Denmark so you could make the "Orionverb" Tone Print.
Great video, I will also put this on the "to get list". I some general questions about your videos. 1. What are examples of the type of ambient guitar music you are playing? Who are you listening to? 2. Would you at some point be willing to do some kind of "history lesson," going into the history of ambient and what it has developed into? Do you already have one? 3. How much of what you teach can be applied to ambient's sister genres, such as slowcore and shoegaze?
Another very cool thing I found with the original HoF (which I still have) that you don't see until you dive into the toneprint editor, is that you have the "ducking" feature from the Nova reverb in there, so you can have a massive reverb that ducks the volume to avoid it sounding muddy when you play, and then swell back to really ring out once you stop playing. Hopefully this is still in the HoF2?
i never was fan of reverb never had a pedal and my tubes amps dont have either but somehow that guy just sold me one among with the flashback.i need to wait 2 weeks flying from germany to greece.i cant wait
I found this video because I was looking up reverbs for my Cister, which is a kind of Irish Bouzouki (got the HoF2 now and really love it). Then I watched some more of your videos, got fascinated by Ambient Guitar and will definitely stay here. Might just become an Ambient Bouzouki player now. :D
Saw a greek band playing semi-traditional folk music but the viola player had a delay pedal hooked up and when he hit it, it launched the audience into the stratosphere !
@@emanuele6461 Wow, sounds cool :) I also got an electric guitar now and some pedals. Now playing around with both instruments in an ambient way (and of course learning the guitar in general XD ) - it's a really fun rabbit hole to fall into. :)
i was just looking for a reverb for some very wet post punk/darkwave vocals and hearing the shimmer and this going full wet with the guitar sold me, wow.
also it's refreshing to see a reverb reviewed without some blues noodling and a lack of understanding of those of us who want full ambience, i spent hours of watching demos before finding this, thank you.
I have been user of boss, line 6, full tone, dunlop, mxr, eventide, electro Harmonix, red witch, bogner, egnater, livewire, digitech, Ibanez, etc.And I can only assure something, the only pedals that would undoubtedly be re-purchased if something happens to them, would be those of TC Electronics. If someone had told me this from the beginning, I would have saved big money.
I use an original version at church playing and always use the mod with decay and level 90% maxed out. It's great for swells and emphasis. I think I need this new one also. Just because it's awesome.
It bears mentioning that the Mod setting incorporates the Tri-Chorus effect from the TC Electronics Corona Chorus pedal. Great playing! I loved your style.
Awesome video Bill. This is definitely on my "to get" list. Silly questions time! 1. Do you have to mash the button to get really heavy reverbs 2. When is it available for purchase? 3. How much is it?
1. No. The MASH button is optional. You have all the same controls as the original HOF 2. Availability = Wish I knew! 3. Price - Based on Sweetwater's pre-order, looks like the same price as the original HOF.
Chords Of Orion Thank you so much for your reply. Your videos have really inspired me to try new pedals out and really try and develop the sound I hear in my head and want to put through a speaker.
Tore confirmed on TGP that the processor is newer / faster so there will be likely a difference in sound-hopefully better. Sounds awesome in your video.
Hi Bill, thanks for the videos, been getting a lot of inspiration! I have to choose between this and an Immerse for a general purpose ambient reverb. What are your thoughts? I know the correct answer is always "both!" but I haven't got that option right now.
It would be interesting that you did a demo of the MXR M300 which seems to be very good and versatile for both ambient and traditional use. This HOF2 is not bad with its MASH technology but beyond the novelty does not seem so useful or indispensable. I find that MXR M300 is better and offers more, what do you think?
Yes, it has stereo selectable via internal switch and using TRS splitter cable. It's worth to take a look www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DigitalReverb www.jimdunlop.com/text/content/pdp/manuals/M300.pdf
Great review, Bill :) For ambient tones, which would you recommend most: Hall Of Fame 2 or Neunaber Immerse Reverberator? I play in a Yamaha SLG200s (acoustic silent guitar). Thanks in advance!
I would recommend them both. As to choosing one, I think it comes down to: 1) do you want the MASH button on the HoF2, 2) Do you care about kill dry and tails mode switches on the outside of the Immerse (vs. inside the HoF2) 3) Do you want the ability to create custom reverbs via TonePrints and 4) Both the HoF2 and the Immerse have distinct reverb sounds. Which do you like better?
Great video! Do you need to use 2 amps to really get the best from this pedal? I note you are not using any amp? Are you just going from the guitar to the pedal to the 2 inputs on the sound card and using an a software amp in logic? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just love the sound and would like to try to get something close.
Great questions! I you want to run in stereo (like I do), you will need 2 amps or an amp modeler. I go the second route and use an Avid Eleven Rack, which has stereo outputs. I then run those into my recording interface, or if playing out live, a pair of smallish full range PA speakers. For recording, you can also do as you suggest - run the stereo outs of the last pedal in your chain into the computer, and then apply a software amp modeler. Lots of options!!
Wow! First time I've seen this new version of the HOF, thanks very much for the demo and review. I wonder if we'll see an upgraded version of the Flashback with these features?
Hope not,I got the Triple Delay already and Alter Ego X4 the best of TC delays,next is Timeline I need a diffent sounding delay for my recordings,the more the better.
They are releasing a Flashback 2 at some point. There's nothing official on the TC site yet, but Guitar Center jumped the gun and had it listed for preorder on their website last weekend. It has since vanished, but I imagine it will be released in the near future. It has the Mash technology in the footswitch and 3 TonePrint slots just like the HoF 2, as well as some new delay algorithms. It was just the compact Flashback, not the X4 or Triple.
I've already heard about this one too. I'm kinda torn between the original Hall Of Fame Reverb and The Hall of Fame 2. Let me ask ya, can ya just have the reverb effect on like yer other other reverb pedal such as the Neunaber Immerse and the TC Electronic Trinity? Or does the reverb effect only work with the Mash technology? I tried the original Hall of Fame Reverb at my local Guitar Center and I was quite impressed. I'm also interested in one day gettin' the TC Electronic Arena Reverb too. And I already have the Supernatural Ambient Reverb from Digitech in my rig. It's got a very spacey shimmer mode. And I love the Plate Mod settin' too. If ya watch my Storm Watch video, the Supernatural Ambient Reverb was a key component in my sound fer that. Loved the demo! Very spacey! Keep up the good work!
Yes, you can ignore the MASH button and just set the reverb up the same way as the original HOF. MASH is strictly optional and an addition to the basic reverb capabilities.
Wow, I'm hearing a lot of complexity coming from that pedal! I was considering a more elaborate/expensive reverb pedal for myself, the Eventide Space in particular. I'm not so sure now! The cost of the Eventide Space is more than double compared to the HoF2...
One thing I do if I am not sure about choosing between 2 items is to get them both, and then compare and return the one I like less. Just be sure to buy from a store with a good return policy.
The bob Ross of ambient guitar
Was just thinking that
and looks like Davos Seaworth :)
I just choked on my drink lmao
I've been saying this for ages!
I swear I've said that to myself as well lol so spot on
Thank you for the comprehensive review, Davos Seaworth
Omg yes
We needed a proper ambient guitar review of this pedal, and now we have it. Thanks, Bill.
Robert Little agreed the 100% tones video by tc (wich are normally great) was pretty disappointing to be honest. I hope better demo by tc comes out as well
Kevin Nel I love TC, but you're right, the TC video is awful !!!
joe jefferson I see what you mean. The first version had all the classic reverb sounds in one box. This one seems made to be an ambient reverb pedal and sometimes sounds not natural at all. It's probably not a bad pedal. But they should have give it another name and colour.
Hey, there are lots of channels out there. This one is not for you. Have a nice life!
Hey Robert, I hope you meant it when you wish me a nice life ! I fucking love this channel, that's why I subscribed. But I already own an ambient reverb pedal. I'm looking for a more "classic" one. I hope I made my thoughts clearer. My comment wasn't made to be aggressive or something. Have a nice life too and enjoy the good music and the good gear !
You're awesome Bill. Usually I just tune in to hear you play, but this time I really needed this review! Thanks a million.
Dude, you have a voice meant for meditation and guided imagery. Ahhh, so soothing.
Thanks very much!
Added one to my pedalboard this week. So happy with it, including the mash. Absolute game changer
Good to hear Charles!!
Your ambient tones are the best around the internet. I'm tired listening to people who pretend showing a reverb in mono, with home presets. A real ambient reverb must be showed in stereo, and in all its power.
Thank you! I have been looking for something to “church up” my sound, when playing at church. TC Electronic makes a wonderful product. I own their Dark Matter Distortion pedal. I absolutely love it and use it every day.

Thank you again!
Awesome demo man. Loved that one riff about half-way into the video.
I come for the pedal review but stay for your soothing sounds and magnificent music
what a pleasing, well produced, sincere review video. and this guy is an amazing player
I was debating which reverb pedal to buy to take over from my HX Stomp when I want it to focus on other things, and was hunting for good reviews of it. You're a master of this kind of thing and it was awesome to see you'd done a great review on it. Thank you!

That's the guy
ahahahaah is the same!
U kill me
He's smuggling pedals now?
Terrific walkthrough! I got this pedal yesterday and wasn't having any luck with the MASH function except on preset 3, but seeing how you adjusted the level and decay through the various types shows me where I went wrong. Thanks!
Glad you found the video useful!
That flanger and shimmer sounds so beautiful!! especially on your baritone guitar :)
I just got this pedal yesterday. Oh My Gosh. It's an instant ambient machine. And of course, when I wanted to get a bit more insight into how to use it I immediately go to your channel.
This is a great video of this pedal. I’m sold. Your playing is very soothing.
Glad you like it! And thanks!
I freaking love how he gets those Eric Johnson ambient vibes. Damn I’m glad I bought this.
If this comes with some of the kush he's hitting I'm buying one right now!! Love this review.
Great demo, Bill! The new MASH technology seems awesome. :)
Wow, amazing sounding pedal and great playing!
I hope they do a new generation Trinity with some shimmer presets and MASH technology too!
It was this particular video that prompted me to buy this unit. Loving it :-) - no regrets! Thanks for posting this video, brother.
Wonderful review! Thank you very much! I haven't tried this pedal but have the delay equivalent the flashback 2 which is just amazing! This seems very similar in terms of upgrades. The mash thing really is incredible, you can get so much expression out of it! Takes the sound into the heavens.
As always, great demo and great sounding reverb pedal. I just ordered one and can't wait for it to come in.
Just saw this newly listed on sweetwater and swooped it right up, great review man !
That’s really great thing with your expression pedal. I was waiting for something like this. Finally an expression pedal without pedal for a smaller footprint.

I love the new mash function. That makes this a serious tool for $99!
Its also very brave of TC. Companies don't often release iterations that make all previous versions immediately and completely obsolete.
I love TC! Got the polytune obviously…but every pedal I have had from them has been 100% solid
Impressed :) Just ordered a full menu of TC Electronic pedals: Hall of fame2, Corona, Vortex and Flashback ( jury still out on Brainwaves) to go along with my two Streicfetts. If they will be here next week, so I'll be having most exciting Christmas holiday

Soooooooo goood I'm about to get my Flashback 2, hopefully get one these as well early next year! Awesome awesome review!
Wow! A lot of power packed into so small of space. It sounds great!
I don't play particularly ambient stuff, or even listen to it, but I love watching yr reviews. Nice work, Sir!
Thanks very much!
That shimmer gives me goosebumps!
Finally a proper ambient review. Thank you!
Very nice demo. Thx. Your voice is perfect for audiobooks 🥂
Church mode is worth the price of admission in my version 1. It's my only reverb.
Man I'd walk through Heaven's Gate to these sounds. Pass the Kool Aid!
Insane !!!!, love that pedal, and you're so tuned into it !
Another very cool thing I found with the original HoF (which I still have) that you don't see until you dive into the toneprint editor, is that you have the "ducking" feature from the Nova reverb in there, so you can have a massive reverb that ducks the volume to avoid it sounding muddy when you play, and then swell back to really ring out once you stop playing.

Analog Monoxide that sounds rad
It's a really great feature I always use it on my custom toneprint.
Never realized how freaking amazing reverb pedals are. To me they were always an afterthought.
Beautiful playing and great demo, thank you
8:32 tone print 3. that was majestic.
also ... there's a little ant walking by next to the pedal at 9:21 XD
so random haha
You know...you have too much time on your hands!! lol
Eat more carrots.
I like that little ant 🐜
I can tell.. This pedal is phenomenal
just picked this bad boy at sweetwater mega store in ft wayne IN today… got to demo it there on a baritone gretsch … what a combo
i never was fan of reverb never had a pedal and my tubes amps dont have either but somehow that guy just sold me one among with the flashback.i need to wait 2 weeks flying from germany to greece.i cant wait
btw that shimmer sound like allien tech.i only hope my amps accept those babies well at their loop

Great demo as always
Fantastic demo mate.
I could spend several days exploring the different sounds available!
It bears mentioning that the Mod setting incorporates the Tri-Chorus effect from the TC Electronics Corona Chorus pedal.
Great playing! I loved your style.
Excellent comment!
☺
That is beautiful how you can use the MASH as an expression pedal. WOW Very Beautiful playing Bill. I love your videos.
It is a cool feature and thanks for the kind words!
Wish the deeper controls could be accessed via volume pedal as an expression pedal. Nice sounds.
excellent work Bill. not sure it could tempt me away from the big sky though!
Great demo as always. Thanks!
Thanks Eric!
Great review Bill! That shimmer+flanger sounds like the MXR reverb Pad setting. Good stuff!
Thanks!
this is such an amazing pedal!! i want one
Yes you do. And...stay tuned for the Flashback II. I think you will want one of those too. :-)
The shimmer part from about 6.15 recalls A Love Supreme (nice). thanks for the review, btw!
I love that album. Must have been in my mind... :-)
me too!
thanks bill. i gotta buy this pedal ASAP. and now i am considering to sell my digitech supernatural.
Awesome video Bill. This is definitely on my "to get" list. Silly questions time!

Chords Of Orion Thank you so much for your reply. Your videos have really inspired me to try new pedals out and really try and develop the sound I hear in my head and want to put through a speaker.
Hi Ian! According to Thomann, they'll begin shipping this pedal the 23th of June for a cost around 150€. :)
dry0nPS Thanks for the info. I have the hall of fame mini and have wanted to upgrade to the full size. Glad I waited so this could come out!
Great toneprints! Very inspiring.
The best video I've seen this month ;)))
Awesome playing and use of the pedal.
Thanks!
Beautiful playing! Does the level knob act as an output/unity control, or more as a dry/wet mix control?
this video feels so surreal
So many companies are making great pedals. I already want this and the ehx oceans 11 and i have rv500 and the mxr reverb.
Listening to this demo makes me happy. :) Realizing I can't afford this makes me sad. :(
Jan Bautista look on gumtree for second hands or on local Facebook music gear selling pages.
THERE CHEAP IF YA GO ONLINE TYPE IN HALL OF FAME REVERB 2 AN YOULL FIND SOME YOU CAN AFFORD 2ND HAND BUT IN GREAT SHAPE!!!!
You could afford it! It’s not expensive! Save a little bit every week
if you still want i can buy you one
This is cool .Thank you for the video.
Brilliant demo. Thank you. Has the fidelity or power of the processing increased or are the non-new algorithms identical to their previous reverbs?
Good question. I don't have an original HOF, so I can't do a direct comparison.
Tore confirmed on TGP that the processor is newer / faster so there will be likely a difference in sound-hopefully better. Sounds awesome in your video.
The flanger delay toneprint is legit!
Epic Sound! Amazing pedal!
Phenomenal demo thank you!!
Hi Bill, thanks for the videos, been getting a lot of inspiration! I have to choose between this and an Immerse for a general purpose ambient reverb. What are your thoughts? I know the correct answer is always "both!" but I haven't got that option right now.
Ugh. I said I wasn't going to buy another TC pedal for the sake of keeping my board diverse. Now this comes out as I'm shopping for a reverb!
It would be interesting that you did a demo of the MXR M300 which seems to be very good and versatile for both ambient and traditional use. This HOF2 is not bad with its MASH technology but beyond the novelty does not seem so useful or indispensable. I find that MXR M300 is better and offers more, what do you think?
I have never used the M300. Does it have a stereo mode? That's a make or break requirement for me. No mono reverbs here...
Yes, it has stereo selectable via internal switch and using TRS splitter cable. It's worth to take a look www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DigitalReverb www.jimdunlop.com/text/content/pdp/manuals/M300.pdf
Great review, Bill :)
For ambient tones, which would you recommend most: Hall Of Fame 2 or Neunaber Immerse Reverberator?
I play in a Yamaha SLG200s (acoustic silent guitar).
Thanks in advance!
I would recommend them both. As to choosing one, I think it comes down to: 1) do you want the MASH button on the HoF2, 2) Do you care about kill dry and tails mode switches on the outside of the Immerse (vs. inside the HoF2) 3) Do you want the ability to create custom reverbs via TonePrints and 4) Both the HoF2 and the Immerse have distinct reverb sounds. Which do you like better?
Chords of Orion -May I ask why you used both input jacks? Are you coming out of a stereo delay? Great vid. I subscribed.
Correct - stereo delay was sitting in front of the HOF2. I think it was the Flashback 2. Should be in the video description.
@@chordsoforion -Thanks! So you sent the pedal out to two amps, yes?
Great review and playing! Were the 3 TonePrints you demonstrated pre loaded to the pedal? Thanks
Yes - the 3 TonePrints that I used came with the pedal. thanks!!
Great video! Do you need to use 2 amps to really get the best from this pedal? I note you are not using any amp? Are you just going from the guitar to the pedal to the 2 inputs on the sound card and using an a software amp in logic? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Wow! First time I've seen this new version of the HOF, thanks very much for the demo and review. I wonder if we'll see an upgraded version of the Flashback with these features?
Hope not,I got the Triple Delay already and Alter Ego X4 the best of TC delays,next is Timeline I need a diffent sounding delay for my recordings,the more the better.
I would love to see 4 MASH buttons on the Flashback Triple Delay!
But how many feet would you need? :)
They are releasing a Flashback 2 at some point. There's nothing official on the TC site yet, but Guitar Center jumped the gun and had it listed for preorder on their website last weekend. It has since vanished, but I imagine it will be released in the near future.

lightnintrucker get the v2, it's nothing but improvements. I see them discontinuing the v1
Ya know what? I think I will get the HOF2!
2:20 it has a small 2 way switch (short and long). Not 3 ;-)
MXR has always been my personal experience, Hendrix himself used reverb to enhance his music 🎶
its a yes here !
Okay, this expression function is A M A Z I N G
Wow, I'm hearing a lot of complexity coming from that pedal! I was considering a more elaborate/expensive reverb pedal for myself, the Eventide Space in particular. I'm not so sure now! The cost of the Eventide Space is more than double compared to the HoF2...
