nice little box with massive reverb

I've tested various reverb pedals but this little box put others to the corner (in this price range). You get massive reverb trails with this box (6-10 seconds based on my intuition not real timing). If you're looking for something deep and spacy - it's a no brainer. Also, it's a stereo box! Muuuuch depth and clarity

Nice reverb - delay combo

I got this pedal after getting the Nux Solid Studio and thought " well, this is a good pedal for the money" and both are. I got the Atlantic primarily for the delay, however, it turns out I am using it mostly for the reverb. I really dig the plate reverb setting and the shimmer function - you can actually get some interesting strings-like stuff going. Hall reverb is also great for ambience, spring - not so much, not really a fan of the sound in this unit. Delay-wise, 60s is sort of a tape delay and I mostly use this as it is straightforward and very simple, 70s is very good and adds some modulation to the delayed tones that I like, 80s is also OK but nothing that will blow your mind. Smart switch to tap delay tempo/switch effect on works very well - had no issues at all with accidentally switching it off. Build quality looks fine to me, saves space on my pedalboard as it is 2 in 1. Would have been nice to have stereo in (it has only stereo out) but I very rarely use stereo rigs, so it is fine for me, just keep in mind if you want to go stereo. I recommend for getting good sound in a quality built pedal on the budget side of gear.

i love this

Been using it for a while now in the FX loop of my tube amp and i love it. the reverb and delay sounds are absolutely fine to my ears. it's got everything i need, feels sturdy and just works. can't say any more about it. just a great pedal overall, especially considering the price point

Good 2 in 1

I bought this pedal looking for a delay, and the reverb impressed me, even though i didnt know the brand or anything. I really like it

I can't recommend this enough!

Great delay/reverb pedal in a small enclosure with a reasonable price. This unit will handle all of your ambient needs. If you want it subtle or dramatic, this thing will do.

Pros:

- Great sound. Although, this is not the best delay/reverb in the world, you won't notice any low quality, digital, non-organic repeats. Great for both recording and live situations. It will handle all of your professional needs. I don't think you will need any other unit probably will cost more.

- Easy to use.

- Parallel or series wiring switch makes it very versatile.

- I love its size and look. Smaller than i thought.

Cons:

There are some small issues that still did not make me give less than 5 stars.

- It is not possible playing over freeze feature. In my opinion, freeze feature is very handy when you play over it. But when you play, it adds the notes or chords in to the frozen sound. Still nice to have it for ambient sounds in a pedal doesn't meant to be a freeze pedal.

- Shimmer sound rises a little quick and sharp for me. I wish i could control its attack.

- It doesn't have a stereo input. Not an issue for me, just saying for those who will need it.

I just wish it were stereo in!

I love this pedal. It's such a small pedal for how much of a punch it packs. Every setting sounds good. Both switches work in amazingly intuitive ways, both as bypass switches or as tap tempo/expression switches for delay and reverb respectively. I love the hold feature on the Hall reverb. I love the shimmer on the Plate reverb. I love the warble on the tape delay. I love the warmth on the analog delay. I love the clean chaos that the digital delay can give when the repeats start bouncing back and forth. I love that it's stereo out. I love that I can arrange the two sides in either order and even in parallel.

You'll notice I gave this five stars in everything except features. I took that one star away for one reason, and it's the only gripe I have with this pedal. Without it, this pedal is still amazing and I would recommend it 10/10 times, but with it this pedal would be a no brainer.

The one and only drawback... I just wish it were stereo in! It has the capability to take a TRS cable into the input jack, but it doesn't use that as a stereo in. Instead it's used as a in/out to be plugged into a send/return of another pedal. I don' t understand the reasoning behind that because that functionality is covered by using the input and the mono output. The 'return' side of the TRS input is disabled if there's anything plugged into either of the dedicated output jacks, so it also doesn't allow for creative routing.

Now, put this at the end of a mono signal path and you've got probably the best bang for your buck delay and reverb combo you could ever ask for. Even taking a mono signal and using this pedal to break it into stereo at the end is worthwhile. The delays and reverbs both add stereo depth to the sound. If you want to use it as a start to a stereo signal path, that makes sense as well (I'm thinking of routing this into my Zoom MS-10CDR to take full advantage of both pedals' stereo capabilities). But where I think it would shine the most is the place where it doesn't play nicely: at the end of a stereo path.

a pretty good copy

I really like this pedal and allows a lot for the price.

my only problem with it is the usb port. I tried to set on my pc and download the options, but the software of their site, don?t seem to work on my pc and they don?t have very good manuals for those problems.

but it is very usable and allows a lot
