Believe it or not, the room reverbs in the UAFX pedals are very underrated, aside from good room reverb i love a nice big plate reverb set for a very long decay, but the mix set very low, i love cascading my room reverb into a touch of long plate reverb, and maybe just a touch of slapback delay
I try to go with what I have. Axe FX III, FM 3, H90 along with, or in any combination with the Fender SS22 and Mesa Mark V spring Verbs that are both to my liking. That’s only because I don’t mind an orge of reverbs at once when I’m feeling randy. I’ve been eye f**kin a couple really nice, used, hot Ambient and Dual Reverb pedals on Reverb though. Mint. I know I shouldn’t. I have more than my fair share. More than I thought or believed I ever would. In my early days, I went around the block with the SA Ventris. Hot hot hot!!! Sadly I lost her. It happens. I also ran some lines with the same one you have there😮, well not that one, but mine looked just like that Empress you have. They could be twins. I swear to God. They sound identical man. They are pritty pritty sweet if you know what I mean. I did Keeley a couple times and they aren’t bad for a cheap date, but oh….. I’m telling you…The dreams of variable Dual Reverb again, like the SA Ventris I popped my cherry on…. I want one like THAT again. Not that one, but like that one but with more flexibility or just easier to hang with, ya know? I’m an analog man by nature. Not “the” Analogman of course (that guy is a legend), but I like the “less than absolutely perfect” thing letting you know it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again how you’re not good enough. Say it once, don’t echo it incessantly or whatever. Sheesh! Anyway. What I want, is a “keeper” if you will. I know they’re all keepers to someone. But I have kind of expensive taste in pedals as I’m sure you can tell by my harem of digital modelers and yes, the H90. I still love the H90, but if you’ve had one you know the learning curve is steep for that one and I just don’t know if I have the patience for her. I’ll probably keep on with the H90. It might be worth the occasional fight getting off on that one. But my wondering eye will be looking out the corner. Scanning. Searching. Bumbling my way into someone’s “pedal demo”, where I’ll be helpless. I’ll feel the allure of new and fantastic sounds that I can’t live without. My imagination will run wild, wet, loose and free with thoughts of epic Neil Schon guitar solos. One 8-15 minutes of blissful sounds straddling my ears with both legs. One little video. It could be yours Leon. It. Could. Be. Yours. The shame? No. I clearly have no shame.
I don't own this, but I do have an Empress Zoia. Empress are by far my favourite reverbs excluding old Lexicon racks. I think its the way the reverb melds with the source instrument rather than sits on top of it. Of course with Zoia I can also add all sorts of modulation in the reverb trails. Works particularly well with a parallel signal path.
What is the name of the song that you/he is playing between 2:11 and 2:20... And the artist? I know this is an extremely rookie question but I'm just kind of stoned right now and I can't put my finger on it....! Ha... I'm sure we've all been there....
They talk perfect English at Sardinia Ferries, now?! Well, I guess that's why I haven't a Paul Reed Smith signature combo one, now. With compliments, bike after bike. Who the hell are you talking with?! I had a few friends, too, when younger. Marty Friedman shouldn't play the Friedman instead of the Revv amp? Are you married too? Ghigo is dead and you're not using a dead relationship to fuck a few things 🆙️?! I don't know. Namastè.
What's your go-to Reverb?

In my case it's the Walrus Slö.
My "pedal platform" amp is a Fender Dual Showman. So, the reverb in the head.

This 80's Lush Hall is so gorgeous !! I love it !! What a nice pedal
It's a beast!
I've got to get this for my next power ballad!
That Beer setting surprised me as to how much I'd like it, then again i do love carbonated beverages lol
The whiskey and beer sounds like you're playing underwater . 😂
I like The Talisman plate reverb a lot!

Looking forward to trying the Zoia, looks incredible
Great review mate. I'd love to see you review neunaber reverbs. I think you'll love them as well
Check out the vid I did with the illumine :)
7:45 what about heaven beside you and hell within?
Great video Leon! This would be the perfect pedal to go with the Dimehead.... hmm.....seriously thinking about it =)
You should! That would be a ridiculously powerful compact rig
Beer's random audio dropouts are Ace
I have both the Reverb and the Echo and they are an amazing pair. I’d love to see you make them sing together
Soon!

Lay it down by Ratt
Sweet
