I would have thought your TwoRock provides a far nicer reverb than you are going to get from a digi pedal.

Though I bet it sounds crap once he plugs the Friedman into it...!

Absolutely true. But there's no point talking logic and common sense to Molly when he wants to buy something.

Depends what he's after though – if he's just after spring reverb then it's kinda pointless when he's got an excellent boutique amp that provides the real deal. If he's after big ethereal or different reverbs then it makes sense.

Strymons have a bit of a reputation for being sterile, which is great for church, but.... Everyone keeps selling them.... Neunaber all the way, there's a reason you hardly ever see them for sale!

Fixed.

I've had both and I think the Wet just edges the Blue Sky out.

Sterile... :think: Not sure about that.

Flint isn't sterile couldn't vouch for the others though.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

The Strymon BigSky is about as far away from being "sterile" as possible. The Bloom and Cloud modes are completely heavenly, and second only to what you'd find in an 80's rack.

I recommend the TC Hall Of Fame. That's a damn good little pedal, and very affordable. The Plate and Church modes are stately home in the Cotswolds level of posh.
