GFI Solis Ventus

[slip]

Hi all, new here. I did a search, but haven't found any posts about the GFI Solis Ventus. I am wondering if anyone here has been able to try it out yet. How does it compare with other combo reverb & delay pedals? It looks pretty interesting in the demos.

The reverbs in the Specular Tempus are supposedly among the best you can find in pedals and I'm curious to try the improved ones in Solis Ventus, buuuuuut I already have a Mercury X so...

You'll get a bunch of "just get a VP4" answers here, but the Solis Ventus has a HUGE advantage: analog dry through, meaning zero added latency on your dry signal.

It has some lovely features like ducking and sounds really nice.

But the user interface is annoyingly dated. I don't think I'd be happy having to go through settings of any delay two parameters at a time.

I'd rather pick the Source Audio Collider over this.

Are you referring to this interface?

Nah, the one on the pedal itself.

Just learning about this today. I was a big fan of the Specular Tempus. Is this an addition to their lineup or a replacement for the Tempus? I can't see why I'd choose this over the Tempus or the Tempus over this one.

Yeah, this replaces the Tempus.
