Members ilari Posted October 22, 2006 Members Share Posted October 22, 2006 At least 3 or 4 people already have it, but they have been fairly quiet about it. Only short positive blurbs. I have 4 pedals coming from Dr. Scientist, and the reverb is one of them. But the painful wait for them continues, because they still don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ollenorin Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 Versatile...yes but its no way near as versatile as the verbzilla Sounds - from realistic to over the top nuts Also it is light, True Bypass, no noise issues...and it has a great boost if you want to.

I would agree with this, apart from the Verbzilla comment. Not that I don't agree, but I have never used the Verbzilla. In terms of sound quality it rivals the Lexicon rack my father-in-law has. I forget which one. Might be called an MXP-1, can't be sure though. It doesn't sound quite as good, but it is really {censored}ing close (like 90%) and way easier to use and way more compact. It also {censored}s on the EHX offerings IMO too. No bypass or hiss issues with the RRR. Also the verb feels more 'real' from the RRR, and the extreme settings are usable. I never liked the grails I tried though. Only 1 downside I can see, and that is the lack of a spring reverb setting. Doesn't bother me, but may bother some. I think most have spring verb in their amps anyway. I can live without spring reverb myself. My favourite thing about it is the volume boost it has. With a fairly wet signal with a great deal of boost I get amazing, liquid, etheral, light OD tones from my amp. With a fairly dry signal and a nice amount of boost I get some more solid, driving tones from it. Oh, and simplicity always wins with gear, for me, and this is pretty goddamn simple. One other point, and that is it doesn't seem to have any distortion of its own. I can slam it with a very hot signal from my Mayo and I don't get any nasty breaking up of the reverb. I've had my RRR for a couple of months now, and haven't said too much about it as I personally can't stand 'this is the best {censored}ing thing ever' honeymoon period reveiws, or 'this is a pile of {censored}' haven't given it a proper shot reviews. I feel it takes a while to get your head around a pedal properly. I know some people play a pedal once and sell it straight up, but I cannot do that. I need time.

Nice review!I had (i think) an MXP-1 and the RRR does rival it.Agreed about taking some time to get to really understand a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 Whats up with the finishes on these pedals? From the pictures it looks like colored plastic under contact paper wrapped around the pedal. Anyone else think this looks tacky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else think this looks tacky? yeah, it kinda looks like cheesy colorforms to me but asthetics are the last of my concerns when it comes to pedals. If the thing sounds good then I don't give a crap what it looks like. Also, for $200 a digital reverb I'd like to see stereo outputs, it's one thing I like better about digital reverbs.

Members papa taco Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 Originally posted by FranklinD How long has it been papa taco? I was told two weeks.... About 3 1/2 weeks. I was aware there would be a wait. I mean, they sold tons with that September promo and I squeaked my order in at the end of it.I'd rather wait a bit and have it built right than have them rush through the stuff and have qc issues.taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonaldDemon Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 My Sunny Day Delay arrived on Friday. I agree with goldie in that you need some time withthe pedal before you can review it. Mine does have a few issues that I emailed Ryan about. I am waiting for a response. I am not too big of a fan of the graphics but in person it looks pretty nice. I also don't care too much as long as it sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DonaldDemon Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 Originally posted by FranklinD Issues? There is a clipping distorted sound on the repeats. You can really hear it when the delay time is more than half the way up. I don't want to instantly blame the pedal so I need to double check if there is something wrong with my rig. Also, the delay time pot is reverse, ie counter clockkwise turns the rate up. the other pots are clockwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FranklinD Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 I remember a time where that happened to me when the signal was hitting the delay pedal pretty hard. Even a clean but strong signal did that to me. That's why I keep my SHO at the very end of the chain. Does this happen all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the pedal in the effects loop of my Rivera combo. I am not using anything beside the TS-9 at about 1/4 gain to boost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 A lot of effects loops are made for rack effects and output more signal than floor pedals like to take. Sounds like that might be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
