Members colejustesen Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 So I decided to pull the trigger on a reverb pedal for my effects loop. I was kind of disappointed my Decimator really cut off the decay of the spring reverb in my Classic 50. So I was looking for something that was simple that would add just the right sparkle and depth for my cleans and my twangy stuff. I was eying up the Hardwire reverb, but I honestly was captivated by the recordings I heard of the Hermida Reverb. So I figured what the hell and ordered it. So this is the guy.... And this is him with the family... So far I am digging it. It reminds me of a mix between a spring and a plate reverb. As you dial up the knob the more it puts into your mix. It is very reminiscent of how a reverb control on your amp would be. It was exactly what I was looking for. There will be clips to come...most likely next week (since it is spring break for me) I also have a Tonerider American Overdrive on order. I like the Hardwire pedal, but it sounds a lot different than the Tonerider British Distortion. It seems to be more compressed than the Tonerider, so I thought I would give their OD a whirl since I love my British Distortion from them!

Members colejustesen Posted March 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 I tell you that I am in love with the Tonerider products I have used thus far. Their pickups sound great to me and the British Distortion sounds pretty damn good too. I have heard clips on YouTube of their other pedals and I can tell you that the Analog Delay and their American Overdrive are very intriguing. I will make sure to give a review of the pedal.

Members i386 Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 They're not bad. I built the Hermida Reverb from a licensed kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted March 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 I read about those clips on TDPRI and thought it would be cool to do....but I was being impatient and decided to get one ready to rock. I think it sounds pretty darn good, but I have heard better. The T-Rex Room-Mate sounds killer, but it cost a lot more too..... Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted March 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 There other stuff sounds {censored}ing killer too....no joke about coughing up enough dough....those suckers are expensive. I actually thought it was weird seeing a reverb pedal for less than an overdrive or distortion....usually it is the other way around. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ProToneThinline Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 im gonna cough up the loot for a zendrive one of these days Do it! You won't be sorry. I spent the better part of 2 years chasing that sound. I could have saved a lot of money if I would have bought the Zendrive in the first place. I got mine this past Saturday, and its great.
