REVERB- FLAMMA FC02 Reverb ...very high spec ...very, very low price ...$40 !!!

$40.00 USD

FLAMMA FC 02 REVERB
Basics in a box thanx to Flamma or should I tip my hat to Mooer since they own the company, lol.
Verbs have got to point that you can hit one chord and they will ring out 
a series on tones that will entertain you for a half hour. Such a fascinating circus is not cheap. The bottom line is when you are at the gig plodding away on tunes that you audience wants to hear all those pedal pyrotechnics are useless. In short in the real world the spring reverb in that old Fender amp collecting dust in the corner is ALL you need.
In a survey of 'buying pedals you don't need' a pricey reverb was number one.
CONCLUSION
Since a verb is often an 'always on' pedal ideally you need a rich clear but very, very uncluttered voice. Even a spring can get messy. 
The perfect answer is a plate reverb (just ask Dave Gilmour)
Throw in a studio reverb (which is a man made room sound that is idyllic) and maybe a church sound for those couple of ballads. Make it a modern high spec digital unit and give it 
to me for less than the cost of picking up the tab for dinner at McDonalds with my band. :-(
Done.



FINAL WORD
In a blindfold test beside a pricey Strymon or similar you will be forgiven if you can not hear a difference.
