REVERB-DEADBEAT The Void Reverb ...small package ...small price ....big sound

$100.00USD
 DEAD BEAT THE VOID REVERB 
A California builder who moved to Brooklyn who just wants to make unique high quality pedals that sale for affordable prices.
This is the third pedal company that the makers see a Plate as a great always on reverb. A good Plate reverb can be full and rich but will not muddy your sound. 
Unlike a Spring ...a Plate will stay tight and clean so if you push it up it will not dirty your sound.  Kept low in a mix you get nice tight sound that easily rivals a Spring in fact usually it is much better.
Dave Gilmour's sound was married to a plate. Nothing is more complimentary to a guitar.

It is a large Plate so it will sub as a Room reverb easily.
I have the Mr, Black Reverb (mini) which is a small plate
so it has lot less low end. It works nearly as well overall but is a killer on dirt sounds!
Recently on sale on Amazon for $60.00 USD but they are all but sold out.

A simple rig. First the pedal looks bigger then it is. It is as deep as a mini but twice as wide. With just decay and mix it takes only a second to mix a great sound.


Conclusion
The Nux Oceanic is another good choice. So with it and Mr Black all being quite good you do have a nice choice. I also have the TC Electronic HOF. The same idea but although you can download a Plate it comes with a Hall which is often too much for an always on.
I have mentioned it often. In a live situation an all bells and whistles Reverb can really add some drama in a tune. BUT you can seldom leave it on for the whole tune and switching it off and having zero reverb sounds ameteur. Hence a decent always on is a must!
The VOID is definitely hard to beat. as good as the others but cheaper too.
soon as I heard it I was wowed! I saw the sale and bingo mine is on it's way!

HANDS ON
So it arrived at my door in a box the size of a basket ball. LOL Inside was a box nearly as big! It was the pedals box. It is a really nice box like te kind you get a gourmet pedal in but it was big enough 10 or more of the little reverb pedal. To be fair they did tuck in a power supply and 2 small patch cords.
So I plugged it in. WOW!!! It exceeds my expectations by double!!!
Definitely gotta have pedal!!! maybe it only has one basic sound but that sound matches anything you could get from a Eventide or Strymon!!!! No Sh@t guys it really is that good and for $60!!!
