MXR Reverb


https://www.jimdunlop.com/mxr-reverb/
Six meticulously crafted reverbs in one pedal
Dry path is 100% analog
Relay true bypass and delay trails modes

The MXR Reverb delivers six distinct high end reverb styles, each exquisitely crafted and tuned by the award-winning MXR design team. It all comes in a standard-sized MXR box with a simple three-knob setup and a hi-fi analog dry path with a massive 20 volts of headroom thanks to Constant Headroom Technology™. Each reverb style is as richly detailed as any found in the highest-end rack units and plug-ins, and all you have to do to step through them is push the Tone knob.

The PLATE setting provides a shimmering smooth wash of space that’s a go-to choice from the studio recording world. SPRING sets a new standard for truly authentic sounding reverb without coiled metal—a perfect recreation of the classic amp-based effect, with the Tone control taking you from dark vintage amp spring, through classic jangle, to bright surfy splatter. EPIC is a unique combination of multiple interwoven analog-tone delay lines and complex modulation—perfect for solos from that more shaded part of the lunar landscape. MOD throws down a plate-flavored spaciousness with richly organic modulation in the feedback path. The ROOM style adds subtle body and projection to your guitar tone at shorter decay times while longer decay times yield rich organic space that doesn’t wash out. PAD closes out the line-up with a unique combination of sub-octave + octave-up with echoes + “shimmer” + synth/organ modulation + reverb.

Connect a Dunlop DVP series volume/expression pedal to the expression jack to toggle and blend between two different knob setting configurations. The Reverb includes 100% wet mode, stereo input and output capability, and true relay or trails bypass.

  • I do not agree.. First of all the guitar is distorted and he is not very good. I had to look at other demos to get a clean sound so you can actually hear the quality of the pedal.

  • That "PAD" effect at 2:44 is crazy isn't it? I didn't even know it did that until tonight when I was fooling around with mine which I've owned for about a year. I've always just used it thru the effects loop and set for very mild reverb as one would get out of a Fender spring reverb set low. So I take the unit and plug directly into it and that to a vintage amp for some heavy Peter Green type reverb which it did very nicely..but then I started to hit the button and turn the knobs, it was dark in the room I had not much knowledge of the various settings. I'm not an effects pedal type guy, but I really really enjoyed the PAD effects and found they go really well with cords or cord picking like Stariway, Hotel Cali, Babe I'm going to leave you and Angie. It is just as it sounds in this video, like you have the accompaniment of a talented keyboardist but more like it's a Moody Blues type Mellotron. I conclude that there is no need for spring reverb anymore now that digital pedals have gotten rid of that cold brittle tone which they used to have. I had a tube Reverb unit (reissue 63 Fender) and there some major issues with hum, noise and little benefit except it's cool because "it has tubes".

    I did not shop around or compare reverb pedals, I just chose this one based on some reviews because I have an MXR Carbon copy and that is great. This one is way better than I thought it would be, sounds totally natural and has much more flexibility than any built in spring reverb or outboard spring reverb tank. Of course it is nice to not have to deal with all of the physical space issues an outboard reverb unit has..btw for some un-known reason the Fender unit did not work going thru the effects loop of my amps. I didn't have time to figure that out but had pretty much made up my mind at that point to give a modern digital pedal a try. Get one and comment that I was right.

  • So… considering I already own all the other MXR pedals- is this just a no-brainer, or do I just keep going on with what I have for my reverb (a JHS s3) and let it be? Is this a “must-have?”
