I
f you’re a traditional player who is tempted
by a walk on the wild side, or an
experimental axe-slinger that also has a
gig in a covers band, the Space Station Pro
could well be the pedal for you. Dialled back, in
reverb-only mode, it can create a subtle and
warm eff ect, bringing colouration and space
to your sound. In delay-verb mode, not only
can it give boutique boxes like the
EarthQuaker Ghost Echo a decent run for their
money, but it can also swing from pre-delayed
spring reverb style slapbacks all the way out to
cavernous washes of ambient reverb at the
twist of a knob.
T
he Hooke Reverb is an odd pedal. Its
fi rst patch is a fully wet organ sound
made from an octave up and down that
feels laggy and a bit out-of-place on a reverb.
The classic spring reverb patch is a solid piece
of work, but the star of the show is the
tremolo-reverb. When dialled back to a subtle
wobble and with the reverb past noon, this is
an eff ect you can get lost in. Taking off the
back plate, there’s a switch inside that allows
access to two further spring reverb patches
and a cool spring and plate blend – though
their high quality begs the question of why
they aren’t accessible via the front panel.
