Meh, I think it’s overrated personally. The reverb is plate, which is fantastic but the delay is unable to go anything more than 80% wet. Hard to do U2 licks or really anything with a repeat the same level as your guitar signal. Shame because it does sound fantastic but I got a DD3T instead and it’s way more versatile even without reverb. That’s just my opinion though
Dude, your sleight of hand while palming your pick and then floating it back into play is so rad! The review/demo is great, but your playing is even better. Cheers!
Big shout out to the NUX Atlantic. Small, affordable, no frills. Just a very solid R/D pedal with 3 modes of each effect. I would say that for a rock or metal musician, it has everything you need and none of the weird sounds you probably will try once and never touch again.
I love my Keeley Cavarens! It's been on my board for a few years now. I'm always finding new and interesting ways of using it with other effects. Also, no one rocks a Hagstrom like Andy!!!
Was just watching a video on another channel that put the Keeley Caverns, EQD Dispatch Master, and the Wampler Ethereal head to head, they all seem like great pedals. ua-cam.com/video/sZmXcUTkWPo/v-deo.html
Me: (after enjoying a few hours of plugging straight in with only reverb and tremolo in my fx loop): Maybe I don't need all of these pedals. Also me: Ooh Andy's demoing Dual Reverb/Delay pedals, I'll have some of that.
nice, usually the delay before or after reverb argument can be frustrating. either which way one affects the other. a way to fix that is use them in parallel so they remain independent and unaffected by the other, which will take another parallel mixer device. or you could buy a delay/reverb pedal with the parallel thing already done. no brainer. i liked the collider
I was kind of expecting the Mooer Ocean Machine to be on this list.....probably because it's about the only delay & reverb combo that I have. But to be honest, with 2 delay engines, a load of different reverbs to choose from, oh and a looper, I think it has to be the best value and most versatile of any delay & reverb combo on the market.
Thanks for teaching me how to use my RV-6 on the +Delay setting. I was ready to buy an EQD Avalanche Run, you saved me a lot of money (and pedalboard space!)
Great video! I was talked into the Collider from Sweetwater. While it is very rich in its options, and the tones and reverbs and delays sound very good, the thing is simply too complex for me. I'm going to sell it and get two separate pedals. It's too confusing to turn things on and off and know which editable mode you're in unless you're looking at it closely.
Thanks really good demo and playing as usual. My first attempt to get $150 range effect.. For this comparison I guess I wouldn’t go wrong with straight forward basic settings of RV-6 just for testing the waters.
Keeley Delay Workstation Old Blood Noise Endeavors' Rever or Minim; both not as versatile (or for everyday use) as some of these, but cool at what they do provide.
Hi, hard to consider what a pedal can bring with this kind of sound, anyway, thanks, the collider is largely on top on every aspect, sound and paracticality on scene, this is what i consider in the pro category. but again thanks for the vid.
Great video as always, thanks Andy! My favorite reverb/delay+ pedals are The Wash v2/tap (Hungry Robot) and Minim (Old Blood Noise Endeavors). Both provide really beautiful textures.
Kay - Munnay Thanks for your note. Actually right now I’m mostly making ambient cassette tapes loops so it’s a less traditional pedalboard setup. I put The Wash or Minim on my Tascam’s FX loop and bring it in per track to create swells. I then run the output to Blooper and continue to layer.
Paul Zenke oh that is quite experimental lol. I just have two other delays and reverbs and am trying out signal order cuz its got its own thing going on especially in the modulation so I was treating it that way a little bit, like a mod pedal in an effects chain.
Is it true that the Collider's preset switching takes between 200 ms and 1 second? I would need something like the collider for my live pedalboard, but waiting a second for the sound to appear is not okay at all. So I'm currently looking at GFI's device - but here again there seems to be the problem that the banks can't be loaded via midi as you would imagine - but only bank up and down - any experience with this?
I’ve been doing a Dolphin’s song, unrelated to the sport team, for a month or two. Under water the Dolphin’s have their own language, and you did some of those here in this video. I said ‘Ooh, Dolphin sounds’. Nice Andy. Digging deep.
Zoom MS70-CDR and BT-100 are as valid as all others here, you can have 3 reverbs and 3 delays at the same time, and they cost between 50-80EUR on the used market. Especially with the Github uploader and many user presets available online, you can replicate almost all crazy boutique pedals out there (Red Panda Particle, Zvex Lofi Junky, Hologram stuff etc.) if you are lazy and don't want to create your patches.
Probably something simple like a carbon copy and maybe the mxr reverb. Quick recommendation though, for hard rock and metal you’ll probably want to make sure both pedals are in the fx loop of your amp
Love your vids and You seem like a rly cool guy. Which is why it pains me to say that i couldn't listen to the tone of that guitar / chain, not to mention some nasty digital clipping going on somewhere in the intro. Ouch. But hey, prob the only vid of yours i didn't care for, which is a pretty amazing batting average. Cant wait for the next vid.
NYCdogrescue Totally agree, when your doing demo of reverbs and delays I would not be using breakup tones for these type of scenarios, doesn’t represent the clean tone of these pedals
Reverb + Delay to space out and kill time while stuck at home. This post is very timely....much obliged Andy
TheFreqs “Timely” indeed😋
Yeah I been saving up for a Collider since the start of the year. I’m about $350 short
The Dispatch Master definitely deserves to be on that list as well.
If something like a Dispatch Master Plus would exist, that would be cool. With a tap tempo or something..
@@Thruftinger You mean the Avalanche Run?

Bro I've been watching Andy's pedal reviews since I was like 10 years old... His voice is so smooth! As well as his chops!
Great video - thanks for plugging into the Collider. Much appreciation!
Got any open box or blemished collider's you wanna sell me?
@@IvanHerenchakJones 🤣
The opening tone was so good that I got angry.
I don't want another delay Andy... Why do you do this to me?!? Absolutely killer.
🤣🤣🤣
Was jamming allong to your playing during this video and honestly we sound great together. Want to start a band andy? :)
This guys playing is a breath of fresh air
Dispatch Master baby. Elegant simplicity, and beautiful sounds.

So the legends are true Andy is the beholder of the almighty pick of destiny
David J. THE PICK OF DESTINY IS INVISIBLE YET ONLY ANDY CAN SEE. BEHOLD!!!
I love my avalanche run. The Wampler Ethereal is another good option, although it doesn't have tap tempo
I second the Wampler Ethereal mention! Compact, versatile, and very intuitive!
Was just watching a video on another channel that put the Keeley Caverns, EQD Dispatch Master, and the Wampler Ethereal head to head, they all seem like great pedals. ua-cam.com/video/sZmXcUTkWPo/v-deo.html
@@riffswamp, any modulation onboard the Ethereal?
I see Andy . . . I insta-click!
For me the best budged would be the nux atlantic.
I would also recommend the Nu-X Atlantic. I just bought one brand new for £97 for my fly 'board and there's nothing bad to say about it!
Ian Brailsford the Atlantic is amazing for the money.
I was going to ask about the Nux. What's the noise like with the unit, if any?
This man could make a bullet strat into a GG-20 sound good
Boss RV-3 is my favorite pedal. I use two of them on my main pedal board.
That green telecaster is just beautiful.
Andy always sounds so good. I think its because he uses his fingers in addition to be an amazing player.
aaaah, the NUX Atlantic belongs here, too !
That has to be one of the prettiest guitars I have ever seen.
Great video! (Sometimes I wonder if I took all the hours I watch the Andy's demos and actually practiced...how much better I would be!)
Great to see Quiet Theory receive some love. I have yet to test their pedals but they seem to be aweome.
I'm a simple man. I see Andy in the thumbnail, therefore I click on it :)
A simple man wouldn’t write “therefore.” Just sayin’....
Me: (after enjoying a few hours of plugging straight in with only reverb and tremolo in my fx loop): Maybe I don't need all of these pedals.
Also me: Ooh Andy's demoing Dual Reverb/Delay pedals, I'll have some of that.
The Keeley super mod workstation is the ultimate workhorse pedal. Delay, reverb and modulation!
Brilliant playing Andy. Thanks.
nice, usually the delay before or after reverb argument can be frustrating. either which way one affects the other. a way to fix that is use them in parallel so they remain independent and unaffected by the other, which will take another parallel mixer device. or you could buy a delay/reverb pedal with the parallel thing already done. no brainer. i liked the collider
Been using the RV-3 for almost 20 years now.
André Édipo It still holds up today!
Been using my RV-3 for almost 30 years now.
surprised the caverns was chosen but not the keeley delay workstation, and the fender reflecting pool, and alexander sky5000 is pretty cool too
Bought EarthquakerDevices Dispatch master. Other options was Collider and UA Delverb.
Andy rules.
RV6 FTW
I would add to the list:
-GFI Specular Tempus
-Old Blood Noise Endeavors Rever
-Chase Bliss MOOD
I know there are many awesome options for delay today. But, I love my old Dan Echo.
The Collider is certainly on my radar, but I'm anxiously awaiting the Red Panda Context V2. Hoping one of these will get me there.
43% Come To Hear What Andy’s Playing.
Andy really rockin the New Balanaces. Frat machine
Happy to see the Keeley Caverns on this list! I own #7 and it’s been on one of my boards ever since!
Great video Andy!
Andy sure is the delay reverb master. great stuff
the Redtail S model sounding awesome,love those Frailins.
NUX Atlantic is a great option for around $120-$160 depending on the seller
I was kind of expecting the Mooer Ocean Machine to be on this list.....probably because it's about the only delay & reverb combo that I have. But to be honest, with 2 delay engines, a load of different reverbs to choose from, oh and a looper, I think it has to be the best value and most versatile of any delay & reverb combo on the market.
Thanks for teaching me how to use my RV-6 on the +Delay setting. I was ready to buy an EQD Avalanche Run, you saved me a lot of money (and pedalboard space!)
same i was about to buy a keeley caverns and i did not know that my rv6 was a dual effect
Great video!

I'm going to sell it and get two separate pedals. It's too confusing to turn things on and off and know which editable mode you're in unless you're looking at it closely.
Amazing as always Andy.
To Andy or anyone else who might know, just what guitar is he using in the beginning, the green tele with p90 esque pickups?
Dan Giampietro I think it’s a Grayling by Gray Guitars
www.grayguitars.london/grayling
If the Keeley Caverns had a tap tempo, it would be my choice. Since it doesn't I'm in the market for a collider
These are all outside of my budget!
Awesome pedals man
Does anyone know what that intro song is, please?
Also the one at 08:43 although I suspect that is maybe one of Andy's own!
Hoping for the Keeley Caverns to add a tap tempo jack. Mr Keeley if you are seeing this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can see how one can go down this rabbit hole pretty quickly
Just here for Andy's playing.
Thanks really good demo and playing as usual. My first attempt to get $150 range effect.. For this comparison I guess I wouldn’t go wrong with straight forward basic settings of RV-6 just for testing the waters.

Caverns V2 is the best buy for me this year
Spring reverb in the strymon d tape delay, wish you could have it on independently though...
Great video as always, thanks Andy! My favorite reverb/delay+ pedals are The Wash v2/tap (Hungry Robot) and Minim (Old Blood Noise Endeavors). Both provide really beautiful textures.
I just got the Minim and second this. how are you running it in terms of pedalboard spot?
Paul Zenke. I have The Wash (v1). Such a beautiful pedal (looks and sound)!
Kay - Munnay Thanks for your note. Actually right now I’m mostly making ambient cassette tapes loops so it’s a less traditional pedalboard setup. I put The Wash or Minim on my Tascam’s FX loop and bring it in per track to create swells. I then run the output to Blooper and continue to layer.

Was that first composition, with the SA Collider, based off a Motoi Sakuraba piece (sounded straight out of Star Ocean 2)??
That nice Green tele, what is it?? 😎🍻 I wanna have one.
No fender reflecting pool?
How you think these would do with vocals or synth?
Is it true that the Collider's preset switching takes between 200 ms and 1 second?

Impotant one missing - KMA Cirrus.
in the software, can you replace al the modes for both effects?
The avalanche run is amazing. Wonder what the low budget ones are. Time to watch this.
@Andy Martin oh awesome. But tap tempo is my preference. It's a nice pedal though.
Alexander Sky 5000!!!
I’ve been doing a Dolphin’s song, unrelated to the sport team, for a month or two. Under water the Dolphin’s have their own language, and you did some of those here in this video. I said ‘Ooh, Dolphin sounds’. Nice Andy. Digging deep.
What brand is the guitar at the beginning?
What should you look for in a reverb pedal when you want to use it for a synth.
A bit late but stereo in and stereo out jacks on the pedal ✌
Wow, I had no idea how affordable some of these things are!!
Was hoping he would demonstrate what each pedal could do.
commander data on the amp in the background for maximum tone

GFI Specular Tempus is also another good option
Anyone know what guitar hes playing?
what tele style guitar is Andy using in this video? looks like it has a pretty nice one piece top.
Looks like a Gray
Does anyone make a Reverb/Delay pedal with ping pong delay and ability to use reverb + delay at same time?
Should get that Dual Delphine Delay up in here.
What's a good pedal for hard rock, metal? Dont want way too much features I'm not gonna use
Probably something simple like a carbon copy and maybe the mxr reverb. Quick recommendation though, for hard rock and metal you’ll probably want to make sure both pedals are in the fx loop of your amp
That tele is sweeet.
What is that green Tele style guitar ? 😯
Mellow Monsoon

What's the opening song
I really like the reverb rv6. Also am I the only one that plays distortion with delay? Come on people..
Love your vids and You seem like a rly cool guy. Which is why it pains me to say that i couldn't listen to the tone of that guitar / chain, not to mention some nasty digital clipping going on somewhere in the intro. Ouch.

NYCdogrescue Totally agree, when your doing demo of reverbs and delays I would not be using breakup tones for these type of scenarios, doesn’t represent the clean tone of these pedals
any affordable reverb & tremolo pedals?
Check out the mooer modverb
Do i need new headphones. That distortion sounds so crackley
Honesty for the price its hard to beat the rv 6 i have a flint too and i travel with the rv6-tr-2
Was hoping to hear the tape mode on the last pedal. Shucks.
the caverns sounds so lush
8:42 sent shivers down my spine and made me salivate. xD
Holy hell i cant get enough of this jam and fat/chunky sound.
just two words "Ocean Machine"
The El Capistan can be considered for this as well surely?
Please demo everything to keep us sane
What?! No Sky-5000?
How well does the nux atlantic hold up compared to the other pedals?
Pretty well, I use it with a synth. I prefer it to a dispatch master which I also have. NUX has a lot more options.
If only those Preludes weren't so far to find.
