The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
For the court of the crimson king

[elblaino]

HOLY GOODNESS THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING! Followed by Houses of the Holy! I just cannot stand how wonderful it is to watch these videos Andy puts out, the song choice is great and covers a fantastic range of wonderful music, the playing is great, the instruction is practical ... wow.

[Pandamasque]

I love how Andy just strolls from the court of the crimson king to the houses of the holy.

Andy man you make every pedal freaking rip! Most intros to a pedal poke at them with a stick. You indulge in the pedals strengths and play the pedal accordingly. Wicked as always. Cheers.

Epic King Crimson cover. Thoroughly enjoyed that

For me, the Afterneath and Palisade from EQD makes for an amazing Slowdive-style distortion/reverb swell with a humbucker. When split coil (or just picked softer), it makes for a great ambience with both on or just the reverb on. That's my choice pedal anyways

[LiesThatBind]

Oceans 11 is a mixture of classic reverbs and ambient reverbs. All of this in a compact form. Really love that pedal, it's fantastic for boosting your creativity

[michael_caz_nyc]

That Orion Pedal Looks as good as it Sounds. Thats the Real-Deal right there. But Andy has the "Lexicon Reverbs" on his Board. ( in pedal format ) Arguably, the Greatest Reverb Algorithm's ever created.

[ryanwhitley]

Perfect timing...looking for one now!!!

[SpurgeonDunbar]

This is great. I have the Flint and I couldn't be happier.

[AntonyKein]

Andy's playing always on point !!!

The oceans eleven is my set it and forget it pedal for reverb. The spring setting reminds me of the 63 reverb unit from fender. But my go to setting is the plate reverb since it's right amount echo and reverb. This pedal is such a jack of all trades in my rig.

[machete]

He didnt play any of the unique modes on the oceans 11. Only the modes EVERY other pedal has. Really great

[davidkastin]

A reverb pedal is the most important effect and you certainly showed us how it's done Andy. Bravo

[necurrence]

Oceans was my fav pedal. Glad I watched this

I've been looking at so many reviews so many different reverbs to replace my dispatch master (which is decent but... The delay leaves some to be desired). I've looked at a lot of multi effect reverbs and although some sound good, none blew me away with what I wanted: Simple yet effective classic tones, with phenomenal quality sound and build. I came across the keeley omni, it's plate is incredible its spring is very good and it's room function is also really solid. I think for it's price it's the ticket for me... Might also be for some others too. Cheers

During the heyday of proguitarshop, my mother eventually got me the TC electronic Trinity reverb for Christmas during its second initial sale, (I was in high school at the time). I have owned it ever since, and I tend to use the ethereal one setting in light reverb applications where I use a decently long decay for about a second, turn the tone knob where I want it, and I turn down the mix so it’s not overpowering my signal. I sometimes use the plate setting, and occasionally the ethereal to for the helicopter sounds. Mostly it’s the legend of the ethereal one, and the typical setting that I use.

TC Electronic HOF2 is crazy powerful by moving the programming offline via a USB cable and a computer. It basically falls in the does-it-all category, but without the sends and the screen.

[skypekai]

I've gone through 3 different reverb pedals before I realized I absolutely do not need it. Delay's enough for me.

[mrtambourineman]

I believe Andertons have a 17 hour long show about reverb pedals too...
