Everyone whining about how you don’t do reviews “right.” You’re entertaining and you demo a wide variety of pedals in a predictable and familiar way that makes it easy for long-time viewers to get a handle on the tool. Love it. I always check your channel before buying a new pedal. My TC E Afterglow, JHS 3 Reverb, and JHS 3 Fuzz were all purchased based in part on your playing.

Personnally, I'm a regular viewer of Ryan's reviews, because : - I like the fact that he's smily - I appreciate his sense of humor - I really love to hear him pulling those surfy licks out of his guitars - the contents of the vids are most of the time quite interesting, pertinent BUT let's be realistic : if you want to kind of promote a $150 pedal, do it by comparing it to more expensive pedals, in order to demonstrate that it does match up with them while being cheaper. The comparison between the Oceans11 and the Atmosphere was unfair : he blew the Atmosphere demo. He did a far better job 2 years ago there : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKuVqLR1ls67pqM.html mostly, I guess, because he took the time. Here, he should have reviewed the most complex pedals first, and finish up with the simpler ones. He was obviously becoming more and more weary to compare Goliath to several Davids, when actually it would have been more interesting (for him and for us) to compare David to several Goliaths.

Everything about this channel - from the jokes to the playing to the budget - is so relatable. I feel like other channels are for rock gods or guitar techs, but this channel is for regular old human beings. (I actually found the Oceans 11 underwhelming when I bought it a couple years ago - and broke down and got the Empress Reverb, which I love no matter how much it hurt my wallet - but am still on the lookout for a good afforable 'verb, so enjoying the comparisons.)

It’s cool to see Ryan’s never ending search for digital spring reverb that sounds real because it’s a quest I’ve never embarked on! All my amps have built in spring reverb including a couple solid state amps, so I’ve never really used spring reverb in a pedal. My favorite spring reverbs of my amps are my fender vibrolux 68 reissue and my peavey bandit 65 (the reverb in this is surprisingly killer and the amp is cheap and underrated with a pretty nice clean channel and tweakable eq). I usually use pedals for other types of reverb and let the real spring tanks do what their supposed to.

Most of the cheap reverbs all have this massive high frequency content which you can’t dial back. I went with the Caline Snakebite because of all the control over the actual sound of the reverb, so I can dial in bright or dark textures. I, personally, don’t need any weird settings and just want a good sounding reverb and the Caline sounds good.

I paid about $200 CAD for the Ocean's 11 and absolutely love it. I also own a Vintaverb, which cost $70 - and for almost 1/3 of the price is a pretty good replacement. The plate is really good in particular. I use the Oceans 11 or Vinta interchangeably, for certain settings - some aren't very useful. The stereo out is a really nice feature. I did notice the whine though.You had the Tone cranked the whole time - which doesnt help the weird tone. Bottom line though - Ocean's 11 is top notch.

Indirectly, Ryan has done me a great service with his series of afford-a-board videos. Once I figured out that I needed to cross the hundred dollar pedal threshold, guitar life changed for the better. Now I've got too many junk pedals that I'll possibly end up giving away. This video just reinforced that for the "too-many-ith" time. Live and learn, but now I have effect pedals that I absolutely love, and they have helped me advance in my playing. For the record I've only gone over $200 once; for the Line 6 DL4 Mk 2. My sleeper $100 plus pedal is the Keeley Hooke Reverb, the (bank A) trem-verb and (bank B) pitch bending vibrato over spring reverb are both terrific effects. I didn't love the Oceans 11 in the video, but it easily crushed the cheapos and wannabes it was up against. My personal favorite reverb is the GFI System Skylar, it has the best of the reverbs from their Specular Tempus and is as close to the perfect reverb pedal as I ever expect to get. With a little bit of boost and a splash of chorus added, you're in heaven. Thank you Ryan.

The TC Fluorescence only does shimmer and to these ears it does it less well. The surprising one is the £30 M-Vave Mini Universe. The shimmer there is terrific. If you review one, Ryan, be sure to do so before the selector knob starts to go wrong. I leave mine on shimmer and if it keeps on working that way I'll call it good value.

I have the Joyo and what I noticed is that the Tone knob is very responsive and I tend to keep it low. If you set it too high, you start to get that high-pitched reverberation sound that is very present in this video, especially when the Mix knob is also above noon (!). You have to mind the Mod knob too as depending on the Reverb you pick it can add an extra effect that maybe you don't want. Now I'm pretty sure the Occean 11 is better overall based on what I'm hearing here, especially if you're after more "conventional" reverb sounds, but I think the Joyo is better than what this video would lead you to believe.

I thought the Joyo was a high quality product. They've done some serious work there. I take your point about the effects but also consider them subjective. I think others might differ with you on that point and they would likely place it a couple slots higher. Also, IMO, you should have turned the trails on at _some_ point, preferably for the Spring setting. BTW, I'm grooving on that Cyclone! 3 singles with individual switches. You can get 7-way without spending for the Gilmour mod.

I have the Atmosphere and an EQD Transmisser (I know it's actually an oscillating modulated delay that acts like verb but verb) The Atmosphere Spring kinda reminds me of the Rockerverb100MKII verb which I like. The Joyo is all about the modulated verbs. Forest is my fave but if you keep mix at noon and decay longer it sounds much better. Also the forest Really does sound like a morning dew wet forest, I live in one! I love that, its chorus on verb, but does conjure up a dewey and moss covered forest bouncing from tree to tree. I also also have an eq and preamp before it when playing. But the mix needs to be dialed back to sound better

I think the Rewind mode is the most original one, because it sets up a cosmic atmosphere. Reminds me of some scenes in the "2001 : Space odyssey" movie. That mode is to me the real "Comet" mode, the actual Comet mode is only reverb+flanger, it has nothing to do with cosmos stuff.

Please do a video or set of videos, on the headrush MX5... I will likely get separate pedals someday, but I think a multi-effects unit is where I will start... I'd love to hear your take on the MX5 vs $400 worth of pedals.... not to mention tuner, looper, etc... and no power supply, cables, and all that goes with using a handful of pedals.

I think this validated my oceans purchase for $100 years ago. Great pedal. It's important imo to factor the used market in when looking at adorable Amazon pedals. Even if you buy it for $100 and sell it for worst case $60 to guitar center it was still only a $40 pedal. You don't get that with these which is fine but that means the $20 tube screamer clone makes more sense than the $60 no name shimmer reverb when you sell both for $15. I know a lot of people are serial pedal flippers and these may be more expensive for them. Good to get basic sounds you don't use much (for me a TS is that) or effects not in a multifx you have access to but want to have forever for occasional use but not great if you're spending DS1 or RAT money on a reverb that won't be permanent. As the price goes up the resale doesn't and that is the afford-a-board curse.

I have the Flamma reverb and it’s very impressive for the $70 I paid for it. I was going to buy the O 11 but ended up with this and with no regrets. Beautiful lush reverb sounds from this unit and for a very fair price.

Bought the Mosky reverb & also their Golden Horse Klon clone - they sound great, but may need some fixing, they aren't earthed properly internally. I added 2" of wire from the empty GND hole on the pcb to the input jack earth, and a star washer between each jack and the case. FFS, saving 2" of wire????

The oceans eleven i buffered, even with the trails setting to “ off” , ( confirmed by ehx) , so if you are comparing then it might be better to not chain through the oceans eleven, because it can make other reverb’s ( and fuzz’s too ) sound worse or weird …,

@randalljones4370 3 жыл бұрын

One thing I didn't hear mention, but I hear clearly... the time-to-onset of the octave (shim) effect on the Wonderland is very fast, at about 0.2-.3 seconds, while the Oceans 11 is defaulting to about 0.7-.8 seconds. Also, the Oceans' octave has a slower ramp-up ... you can hear it running up the volume, as it were... the Wonderland almost 'slaps it on'... not quite, but it hits full volume really fast. The oceans sounds a bit more like a pipe organ when the organist brings in the upper stops on an expression pedal and the Wonderland sounds like you just pulled on the stop, full volume (sorry, Used to work at Rodgers, many decades ago).

I think the Oceans 11 is still the best all-in-one reverb out there for the money. The spring is quite good, especially for drip. The specialty reverbs are good enough for most applications. I love playing nylon-string guitar with a little shimmer reverb with the level very low but the time quite long - it adds a "haunting" sound to even finger style hymns or Taize style music that really rounds it out. And the drippy spring is more than good enough for my surfy tendencies. It's just a darn good investment in an all-in-one reverb solution. I'd recommend it over the HoF even with all its crazy toneprint options. Good hall reverb? Check. Good drippy, surfy spring? Check. Excellent, controllable but simple shimmer? Check. Fun specialty reverbs like reverse? Check. Heck, I'd like one for my electric board and one for my acoustic board. Just a good unit!

Snake Bite sounds great for what I want it to do. QC sucks. First one DOA. Sent back. Second one sounds good for 45 seconds and then causes some sort of feedback/distortion/noise in the signal chain (thought it was a power tube going out at first). Won't give it a third chance.

I had one that did a couple of weird things, it just made noise, which wtf it’s reverb. Just the pedal off made the noise floor 10-30x’s higher minimum. Than when engaged that went up another little bit with picking up radio or some kind of interference along with making this fluctuating flange sound. Trust me that sounds better then it was.
