Fractal Southchurch Reverb but in a pedal?

[deadpool_25]

I believe the Southchurch reverb in Fractal is inspired by the Bricasti M7. And it is beautiful. Is there a standalone reverb pedal you think cops that vibe? Doesn't need to be exact, just ballpark.

The Poly Effects Poly-Verbs has an M7 setting

That’s a great question I’d probably ask sometime down the road when I eventually figure out a reverb pedal, that’s definitely my favorite reverb in the Fractal.

Yup one of my Fav Reverbs, it is based on the Bricasti
it is an amazing reverb, surely some pedal manufacturer has coped it, but I have no clue as to who

Strymon Nightsky can be kinda tuned to sound like it, but you pretty much need both Fractal and the Strymon to figure out how to set things up.

An IR reverb pedal could load an actual Bricasti IR (or even a FAS IR, which you could capture yourself), which are freely available on the world wide web. But I remember the fractal sounding quite a bit different. As far as I understand it, reverb algorithms are basically a dark art, so you'll just have to try a bunch of them out and see which ones you like and/or gets close enough. Hint: trying out a bunch of reverbs is really fun.

South Church is a preset from the Bricasti. The settings for it are in the Bricasti preset pdf.

If IR’s are OK for you I’d go that route. I believe the Bricasti is derived from the 480L era lexicons so maybe something Lexicon based might be ballpark enough for guitars. You can use those settings as a guide for decay time/size/rolloffs etc

He has the settings for the FAS south church right there on his fractal, though. Comparing even remotely equivalent settings, the FAS south church is quite far from the bricasti settings. Not to mention all the settings that cannot be directly compared.

You basically have to compare by listening.

I agree that copying settings isn't really going to produce a similar result across 2 reverbs, but certain settings to have some relationship - decay, size (assuming its in metres), pre delay etc. If the Fractal settings aren't proving to be a helpful starting point, the Bricasti ones might be a better place to start, assuming the topology is somewhat similar.

I read some posts recently from Relab, basically implying that setting their 480LX plugin to HD mode, and adjusting a couple of settings to fixed values can get very close to a Bricasti - to the point of them saying there is no point in making a Bricasti plugin because this gets so close. So if there is something based around the 480 algos (lexicon are known to repackage old algos into "cheaper" products, and saving the newest highest tech stuff for the flagship models) then they could be handy.

Have you heard of the VP4?

 

[deadpool_25]

I don't currently have a Fractal device on hand and was wanting to go with a few standalone pedals but I ended up just ordering the VP4 yesterday. So yeah, @Boudoir Guitar I'm right there with you.

 

[Whizzinby]

Is there a reverb pedal that does the reverb from that pedal?

lol. You bastards.

I was trying to avoid spending over $800 on this little pedalboard setup. Since the Mk5:25 is just a little "screw around" setup for the living room () when I'm not using the QC, I figured I'd try to keep costs and size down.

With the stuff I already have on hand, I'd have wanted:

Another delay: $150ish
A reverb: $150ish
A tuner: $150ish
Small pedalboard: $100ish

That would've been less expensive. But not thaaaat much less expensive

And...well...as I've said, I do love me some Fractal.

I snagged an Atomic Firebox from GC used for $120 to have something cheap to use with a homebuilt powered cab in the house. I've gone onto pedal playground and put it together with everything from $350 to $1250 extra stuff... for the "cheap, unobtrusive rig to play in the house when I don't wanna go out to the office/jam room"...

Yeah man for sure. If I was building a big elaborate pedalboard the way I usually do, the VP4 could be a compelling choice. I thought building a smaller rig would be a lot less expensive than the VP4. And it kinda is but it's a lot closer than I expected and the Fractal effects are just so ridiculously good and the VP4 seems so flexible and powerful that I think it just makes sense. I'll know more when I get it in hand.

I have suggested an FM3 in “which reverb pedal should I get?” Threads On more than one occasion.

 

[JiveTurkey]

What pedal should I get if I want Fractal modeling in a pedal?

That's where the HX Stomp meme comes in lol

I did the same thing with a Boss IR-2! Still haven't bought anything though.
