Great comparison. I totally agree, V1 is less overpowering and "sits back" more than V2, which I also prefer. Thanks!✌

for future videos you have to play staccato when demoing a reverb pedal so we can hear the reverb decay

More natural sounds flint V1, great review!

V1 sounds more "transparent". V2 is definitively doing something to the eq of the guitar. The DiG V2 does the same.

adding the jfet has added harmonics

That Blade Runner part on guitar, nice!

I like the V2. It sounds more natural on youtube. I would have to be in person to really get the full idea.

V1 you can hear the lower strings clearly , more transparent ….i think

Toller Video-Ansatz! Meine bescheidene Meinung: Version 2 ist für mich klar besser. Du kriegst den "natural sound" ja eingestellt, aber eben auch crispier. Nächster Vorteil: Tremolo-LED. Und Midi/Firmware-Upgrades. Da gibt es also wohl kaum eine Diskussion. Hinzu kommt, dass V1 wohl abverkauft und dann teurer wird. Also holt euch alle noch schnell eins! Was mich persönlich aber interessieren würde (wozu es keine konkrete Aussage gab): hattest du die Pedale jetzt wirklich vor dem Amp oder in der Effekt-Schleife (wo ein Reverb/Tremolo-Pedal für meinen persönlichen Geschmack hingehört)?

thanks, nice investigation :)

Might want to check that pre-delay. Might not be zero on V1, and that could easily be the difference between the verb laying behind the guitar or not.

I've heard people refer to the "Strymon sheen", and I feel there's some truth to that. I don't know if it's the buffer or algorithm choice, but most Strymon pedals sound like an idealised 80s rack version rather than broken 70s equipment. It's too clean, at least for those of us looking for actual broken 70s sounds. They have great hardware, decent algorithms and especially fantastic MIDI implementations in their most recent pedals (looking at you, UAFX!), but it's not broken analogue 70s equipment. Perhaps UAFX pedals get closer to the raw sounds sometimes, but then you've got to miss MIDI and expression pedal input, and are stuck into UA's customer unfriendly ecosystem registration system and need an account to control a guitar pedal. I wonder if Strymon, UA or perhaps Walrus are going to come out with an all in one modeller or effects unit.

V1 for the win : )

I have a V1 and I'll never part with it

Is the V2 Spring reverb (60s) any drippier?

the v1 its much better sound more real reverb than the v2, just look the final eco end in each sound

I have V1 is it worth buying the V2 in your opinion? We don’t use midi. How much difference does Jfet make?

is tremolo analog or a/d/a processed?

You are absolutely wright the V1 sounds more natural to me. The V2 sounds more digital.

Vangelis :)

Have version 1 and the min trem speed is much too fast. Even the v2 is still too fast on min setting

the old one is more "charming" IMHO

Be careful when you pronounce the word "Dig"...
