Well, call me a liar. The other guitarist in my band needed a new reverb, so I sold him the Trinity at full price and bought one of these for $30 pretty much. The PGS plate setting video sold me on it.

OK one super annoying thing I have discovered. When you turn the reverb selector knob there is a slight muting delay between switching settings. No big deal right? Well if you have the Tails switched to on and you turn the selector knob while in BYPASS, IT DOES IT THEN TOO. Not huge but don't expect to do much knob tweaking live unless you aren't playing.

How slight we talking?

Whoa, I didn't notice that. Does it still happen with tails off?


The delay from switching settings while it's on is pretty annoying, though.

Yeah, it happens with trails off but only with the pedal engaged. It's only a .5 sec delay or something, but yeah, it's a little quirk that's a bit annoying.


and mine came in a bag

Yep, slight delay when changing modes. Not sure this is something you would change though mid song, is it? Seems odd, but maybe someone does.


Mine powers on fine Spoon, using a 1Spot too. Only seems to draw 70mA which I thought was fairly low for a digital reverb.

All of the Hardwire pedals do this. It isn't unique to the Supernatural. You will find this in the original RV-7 as well.

Yeah I would when I have to do some ambient swells at the beginning of a song. It's not a deal breaker or anything, just something to be aware of.

I got 'loped, too. Pedal is fine though and sounds nice. I'm finding the decay knob on the spring seems to change "spring size" rather than the actual decay. At least it seems more like a short tank on lower settings and more like a long one on higher settings. So far spring and plate are my favorites. Oddly I like pherb quite a bit when it's mixed down low.


My least fav is shimmer, but that's no surprise to me since I don't really like shimmer that much. However, i think I might be able to use it for some weird dissonant stuff so it might prove cooler than I thought.

i think i figured out the problem. it seems that the "plunger" (or whatever you want to call the small post that reaches down to the on/off switch directly below the footswitch) is missing a part on the end of it or something, as it does not reach far enough. I can reach into the pedal and turn it on and off with my finger.


(Sounds pretttty, pretttty ,pretttty good, btw.)

I wouldn't say it's {censored}, just different.

I'm not sure if it was you or not, but someone in the TGP thread has the same problem. He's getting a new one overnighted on Monday.

The HardWire pedals use a little rubber pad that engages the switch. It is supposed to be glued to the end of the metal flange under the main switch housing. If yours doesn't engage it may be missing that pad, occasionally the people on the line miss putting it on a main switch housing. PM me your address and we can overnight you a new main switch housing on Monday.

That'd be it! Thanks! (*pm'ing)
