But based on my own research and speaking with other people that have used some of these pedals, I've narrowed it down to these guys. Like I said, it all comes down to personal need.Īnd like I've said in previous posts, I'm just another guy on the internet, all I can do here is share my experiences with pedals I've tried and demoed for myself and tell you what I think. If you need a solid all in one pedal with midi capability then I would suggest the Ventris. If you want just a ready to go out of the box solution, then I would recommend the Mr Black Eterna . It all really comes down to how versatile and tweakable of a pedal you are looking for. Just gonna note, you'll notice the prices for some of these pedals range from inexpensive to pretty damn costly. There are a couple of pedals out there that do an amazing job of producing the shimmer effect and these are the ones that I think anyone looking to achieve this effect could benefit from. The shimmer effect will definitely help spark the creativity flame. This especially goes for musicians that are creating ambient music and just so happen to need an angelic choir section behind them. While it's a unique sound, shimmer reverb is not a new effect by a long shot - it's been around at least since the late 80's most notably used by U2's The Edge, but now seems to be back in demand after the popular Strymon Blue Sky brought the effect back into popularity.Īll in all It's a pretty cool effect and can be useful depending on the type of sounds you are wanting to achieve. As of late I'm definitely starting to notice a trend of pedal manufacturers jumping on the shimmer wagon. "Shimmer Reverb" seems to be the new buzzword when it comes to reverb pedals.
