Andy Timmons’ signature reverb, built on a brand-new ambient space inspired by the HALO sound

Three reverb modes — Nocturne, Spring, Plate — from subtle room bloom to expansive cinematic trails

Simple four-knob layout (Tone, Level, Decay, Modulation) for fast, expressive shaping

Save and recall presets for each mode; blue LED = live control, red LED = stored favorites

Flexible signal path with True or Buffered Bypass, Trails on/off, and stereo operation (Wet+Dry or Wet-only)

Full Expression support and MIDI control with up to 72 preset locations

Designed and manufactured in Oklahoma, USA

What a great sounding pedal.

Even the spring algo sounds cool, and I normally hate spring, real or emulated, but the way they do the spring effect in this pedal, with the Modulation knob controlling how exaggerated the drip effect is... it just sounds killer. I've never heard an emulation of a spring reverb do the drip effect that well.
 
Andy Timmons is one of those guitarists that I have a lot of respect for and take guitar inspiration from, but I have no interest in his music. Sort of a technical respect vs. aesthetic disdain situation. Same with Eric Johnson.
 
I am not sure how I feel about this pedal. I just bought a Keeley Hydra in the past couple of weeks. Had I not bought that yet, I may have been interested in this. However, I honestly wonder how different this new pedal sounds when compared to the preset in the Halo that is called reverb, especially if you turn the repeats down farther. From what I have heard in the demos it sounds very much like that preset in the Halo. The spring and plate sound as good in the Hydra to me. I think they just put those sounds from the Hydra into the new pedal.

They claim the Plate is an EMT-140 - I don't think the Hydra claims that does it?

 
So yeah it's a bit of a one trick pony (well 3 if you count the plate and the spring) - Value wise, your money is probably better spent in something like a Hotone Verbera if you want more variety (or if you have a Fractal unit, its reverbs) unless you really want this specific sound.
