Dark Star : It has its issues

4 years ago

It goes without saying that this is not a generic reverb. If you are looking for rooms, halls, springs etc., search elsewhere.

As a creative and intuitive tool it does do a good job. However, some of its parameters do not work as one would expect. For example, the mix (wet/dry) knob does not really adjust the volume of the dry signal until up around 95% where, as expected, you get only the reverb. So, you cannot really control the volume of the dry signal, it is essentially only on or off.

Also, the octave up sounds very unnatural, mainly because it creates an almost tremolo effect.

Overall, the pedal opens a lot of sonic possibilities, but not without some issues.
