TOTAL GUITAR SUMMER 2017

any guitarists ﬁ rst

encounter reverb on

their amp, and this

means that your taste

in amps is likely to have a

signiﬁ cant bearing on what kind

of reverb clicks for you most

naturally. Traditionalists and

jangly indie players alike will

probably feel most at home with

‘spring’ style reverbs that seek

to emulate a spring reverb tank,

while space cadets, shoegazers

and experimentalists will be

looking to the reverbs that

create a sense of space out of

echoes and reﬂ ections. These

imagined spaces range from the

tight slap of a studio to

impossibly large concert halls,

caverns and sonic cathedrals.

With reverb, the possibilities

are, quite literally, endless...

REVERB ROUND-UP

102

any players were initially sniﬀ y about

Mooer because of its pedals’ price tags

and country of origin; several years on,

it’s likely that many will now have one. The

Mod Verb oﬀ ers a fantastic base reverb sound

at an attractive price point, complete with

modulation options of ﬂ anger, vibrato or a

phaser to blend in as well. In the intuitiveness

stakes it shoots itself in the foot by having no

speed knob for the modulation, instead

having it controlled by tapping the status LED.

This makes the modulation eﬀ ects seem a tad

gimmicky. Of the three, the vibrato (when

used subtly) is by far the highlight.

he original Hall Of Fame adopted a

kitchen-sink approach with multiple

options and the addition of TonePrint for

even greater functionality. The Hall Of Fame 2

picks up where it left oﬀ , bringing a new

shimmer octave reverb mode to the table,

adding a ‘Mash’ footswitch that functions

somewhat like an expression pedal. While this

is a bit underwhelming, the reverb sounds are

simply fantastic and cover all the bases you

could wish for. It would be nice to have knob

rather than TonePrint Editor control over the

additional patch parameters like modulation

or pitch shift, but that’s a minor complaint.
