Andy could play a $10 Strat knockoff through a blown stereo using a pile of horse manure as an effect pedal and it would sound like gold! Great demo! Sold me on this pedal!
what i like about Andy is that he rarely plays boring repetitive blues solos that everyone else does. he plays riffs and rhythm parts which is what most guitarists are into.
@d0d0Lgarutz- All reverb that isn't a spring tank is digital. Spring tanks are the things they stick in expensive fenders, so it's a digital, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
digital. all pedal reverbs are, except the ones that contain miniature springs. there are quite a few of those on the market but they don't sound all that great.
God i love this pedal, I really like the modern setting. I would buy it but I have a major problem with this pedal... I hate the way it looks... I know this sounds stupid but T-rex went the wrong way for me with this retro looking thing, I am being an idiot by saying I wont buy it because of its looks but hey.
This review has me seriously reconsidering the Cathedral Reverb which is in the mail. Some real fantastic sounds here, the song choices are an added bonus.
I bought both of tonebug pedals not too long ago, and they're two of the best pedals I own, and I have a decent amount of pedals haha. I will say that I quite like the Chicklet now though...
@asdfguy hi mate, im wondering, why did you trade your verbzilla ? is this better sounding than the verbzilla? cuz i have the verbzilla and im looking to buy a more "analog sounding" spring reverb. Im between this one and the nano holly grail, could you give me any tips ? you seem like the right guy since you´ve owned both lol !
hi guys, im looking for a super transparent reverb that will give me a super short realy concentrated snappy sound, something thats simple u know, not like a big thing with loads of knobs
Congratulations Andy you are the first one that test a reverb pedal with distortion. I,ll get this with the lovepedal purple plexi for my marshall plexi. Thanks
@ProGuitarShopDemos How come they can make analog echo stomp boxes but not reverb? Its all ambience. How come they need springs? there are other types of ambience.
oh god I love crowded house. i ordered a spring chicken by malekko a while back(still waiting for it to come in) and am wondering how does this compare in your opinion andy?
Actually I felt in love with the sound of the Malekko hearing it here and after hearing all the reverb demos available on PGS and my Boss GT-10 reverbs
Miserlou is actually not by Dick Dale, it's just that he performed the most well-known cover, shot to fame by the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. The actual song is a Greek one, check Wikipedia.
So someone honestly thought that the black eyed peas made that up? I didn't even think of them when I heard that. All I thought of was surfing and the goofy (yet awesome) 50s/60s toons that went along with it haha

The Tonebug sounds great with the overdrive.
I have a Boss FRV-1 ad the Boss pedal sounds great clean but the reverb sounds horrible with overdrive.
Why do some reverb pedals lose their warmth when you add overdrive?
