So I used to have an old Neunaber Wet Mono pedal that I really liked. But then I saw the NAMM video for the Immerse. So I put my mono up on ebay and ordered an Immerse. I had the 2 pedals together for one day so I compared them. I realized I don't like shimmer and don't need delay built into my reverb pedal. So that left the wet/plate/spring reverbs. I didn't like the immerse wet as much as my old mono wet. I think part of this is the fact that the Immerse uses a new algorythm for the Wet. But also the Mix knob is replaced with an FX volume knob which interacts differently. Bottom line was it didn't sound as good to me so I sent it back. So now I am reverb-less.
I think I have it down to 2 choices based on youtube vids [1) Flux Liquid Ambience 2) Caroline Meteore]
I really like the More footswitch feature on the Flux Liquid Ambience. I also like the lower octave shimmer feature on it. (Neunaber just does upper octave shimmer.) They have an option to have the Volume FX knob work as a mix knob. It is a digital pedal so should be quiet.
The Meteore has a havoc footswitch that acts a little different than the "more" footswitch. It is sort of a similar concept but more uncontrolled and with no upwards pitch change. It also has a cool attack knob that allows dirt added to the reverb. It is an analog pedal and some people have commented that it is noisey even when not playing. The Meteore also only has an fx volume knob with no mix option.
I mostly play clean and want a quiet pedal so I am a little worried about the Meteore. But I also thought it was a really cool concept. And it is $100 cheaper. With both pedals the extra features are cool but not if I don't like the base reverb tone.
So my questions would be:
1) Are there any other reverb pedals that have a similar option of a 2nd footswitch to add more reverb intermittently like the above options?
2) Has anyone tried both the Flux and Meteore and able to comment on which they preferred?
3) For those of you that have the Meteore, is the noise significant? Would you recommend the pedal?
Alternatively I could just buy another Wet mono since I know I like the base tone of that pedal. Or see if any of the DIY projects could add a "havoc" button.
