    Great little addition for a tweed amp. I have been pining for one of these pedals for awhile - sure I could have built a reverb unit, but I really wanted to try one of these COSM pedals.

    I'll try to see about a couple sound clips soon.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    Okay, there's a reason I build amps and don't perform - here are some noodles for a sound test. I've got a microphonic tube, too, sorry for the static.

    Hello? Is this thing on?:

    Clean

    Light

    Medium

    Heavy

    Thanks! Playing isn't anything to write home about...but I think I captured some of the sounds it's capable of.

    I think I got it up to about 65% of the mixer and dwell for the heaviest.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    Hey I think you sounded just fine, & you didn't play the garden variety licks & chords so common to most players. Very jazzy. And I'm going to seriously consider one of those pedals. I had a super-pricey digital reverb unit on my board, but I used it so rarely I sold it for a cheaper model. It sounds like crap, lol
    The "spring" setting is especially bad. So I'm going to look for one of these-

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    Again, thanks. I just noodled some modal lines and a few chords - literally just had enough time to set up the mic and record a few before I had to leave again. Couldn't even get the recording levels set to where it wouldn't clip

    The pedal is really nice. I mean, it's pretty versatile - you can go from light average reverb to drippy springy stuff on it. Perfect to throw in front of a tweed. Granted, I haven't had a real reverb unit to base it off of, but it's definitely different than the standard built-in BF reverb.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    OK, you have my attention.

    Great demo!

    Might I assume the amp is the Super, but what is the microphone?

    The reverb sounds excellent.

    Thanks for sharing.

    What happend?

    Thank you! Yep, my Tweed Super and Ibanez AF-75.

    The mic is a Samson Q1U USB mic connected to my iMac - recorded with GarageBand.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    I was hoping to pick up one of those a while back, TJ, but I found a deal on an RV-3, ($40 with a power supply). I needed something to add a little "twang" to a non reverb SS amp.
    I tried to talk myself into building a pedal with the small spring plastic tank, after hearing a demo clip, but I never got a "round tuit".
    Sounds like I would like something between "light", and "medium" with your pedal.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    I had the BOSS '65 Deluxe Reverb pedal at one point years ago. It was interesting except for the COSM artefacts - random pinging noises, like somebody knocking a reverb tank a little bit. Does this pedal have the same sort of thing?

    Hmm...no...not that I've heard yet. I'll keep an ear out for it though.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    how do you like that BOSS Fender reverb pedal ? Does it sound like a real tube driven spring reverb ?

    If you drop it does it go "SPROINGGGGG"?

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    After hearing TJ's clips, I managed to get a deal on one of these. I haven't dropped it yet, but it is a lot easier to tweak with it's minimum knob compliment. Very realistic "Fender" type sound.

    I think it's a pretty great pedal to have.

    Re: This Guy Arrived Today...

    I got one of those and I like it. I've owned fender amps with reverb and this sounds pretty damn good for a pedal without a massive outlay of money like a reverb tank would cost you.
