Awesome Reverb Pedals For Guitar [Meris Mercury X, Poly Verbs, Boss RV-200 & EHX Oceans 3-Verb]

Video Description

The ’verbs just keep getting better and better - so what’s new? Welcome to the show. Today we’re looking at a handful of highly capable reverb units that go far, far beyond the sounds and textures of a simple spring. Indeed it wasn’t that long ago when it would be pretty unusual to see a reverb pedal at a guitar player’s feet. Today they’re relatively commonplace, but if you need a bit of guidance and inspiration on how to get in the verb game, this show is for you! Yes, we spend a disproportionate amount of time on the Poly Verbs. More on the Mercury X would have been good. Maybe when Dan has had chance to explore it more we could follow up. Enjoy the episode!
