TC Electronics Never Fail

Such a great reverb pedal in a great casing. You can make several different sounds with this pedal and I would recommend it to anyone!

Great Pedal

Awesome Pedal. Even sounds good in front of the amp for those without an effects loop. Can be used as a conventional subtle reverb or all out effect to add ambiance. Have not not even had a chance to try it in stereo yet. I have tried Boss, Hardwire and a Lexicon Rack Unit. I prefer this pedal. The Modulated Verb is absolutely fantastic.

Buy It Even If Your Amp Has Built In Reverb

Hall of Fame Reverb is great. So many options here and different settings, including the new toneprint system. This makes you think more about the importance of reverb and getting the sound "just right" for your musical style. I use it all the time even when the amp I'm plugged into has built in reverb. The new line of TC Electronic stompboxes is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Amazing!

The Hall of Fame is just incredible! My favorite setting right now is the "Big Room With A View" TonePrint but the Church setting is pretty epic as well. I love that you can change it to buffered bypass and have the trails die naturally when you switch it off. This is the first reverb pedal I've owned that sounded good enough to use all alone. Normally if I was ever gonna use reverb I'd always turn on delay as well. But the Hall of Fame sounds so huge and rich that I can just play my guitar and this pedal and it sounds glorious! I can't recommend it enough. Order one RIGHT NOW!

TC Electronics Hall of Fame Reverb

Wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by the TC Electronics Hall of Fame Reverb pedal! This little guy is more than what you'd might expect; the reverb is lush and spacious, and is just the right size for your own effects pedalboard, slightly smaller than a Boss pedal. The pedal has a number of different waveforms that enhance the effect; at this writing I have tried only 3 but I am almost certain my experience with this gem will not be fully realized until the remainder of the settings have been utilized. This pedal is a great value. I would recommend this pedal for anyone who wants studio quality reverb at an affordable price.

Hall of Fame Reverb pedal rocks!

Currently I play my Strats and arch top Gibby CS-356 Bigsby Custom through a Roland Cube 60 amp which sounds great except for the reverb..I was thinking of getting a Fender Tube amp with the Accutronics tank/tube/spring built in reverb unit but saw a guitar magazine review on the Hall of Fame Reverb Pedal which received a "guitar pick " award and got a stellar write-up. Plugged it in last night and it did not disappoint ...clean, no buzz, no hum, mono or stereo, and a great variety of reverb types with neat controls to shape the sound. (please see the Sweetwater specs ) . It sounded sooo good I aborted my plan to buy a Fender tube amp exclusively for the Accutronics spring reverb because this pedal is killer! Lots of reverb flavors, true bypass, and absent an a/b comparison with the accutronics unit ...I felt is was just as good while offering more reverb types... from subtle enhanced spacial dimensionality to wet drippy surf sounds. I can recommend this product without hesitation. Call your Sweetwater Engineer for more details of if you don' t have one, check out my sales engineer, Mark Magdich at X1265...Mark is a great guy, a Pro player, and very knowledgeable across the broad Sweetwater product shelf.

PS check out the "Tone Print" capability to download your favorite artists setting(s) to the pedal - I have not tried that yet.

Reverb City!

After watching the youtube video of the TC Electronic demo this pedal I decided to order. I thought surely it can't sound as good as the video, they've doctored it somehow. How wrong I was! Every single reverb on this pedal is fantastic sounding, realistic, and useable in different ways. Plus it doesn't affect your guitar tone at all. I've tried a couple of reverbs including the Boss RV-5 and the Tech 21 Boost R.V.B. and this one blows them away. Great Job TC Electronics and thanks Sweetwater.

Rich caverns or as little as you need

Simply love the entire new line of T.C. Electronic small footprint boxes. The Hall of Fame reverb has lush, rich reverbs of many different styles (see the close up picture for a list of the reverb styles.) The box is so lush and rich I am considering a second one to velcro to the side of my Allen & Heath ZED-14 mixer for live vocals reverb. Amazing features in a small footprint box that leaves room for more items on your already crowded pedalboard. Hall of Fame deserves to be in the hall of fame for the home run it hits by T.C. designers!!!

TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb

Does what it says and quite well. This is really adding another voice to my guitar not just an effect. I love TC Electronics pedals. Buy it!

Hall of Fame Reverb

I have been very happy withe the Hall of Fame pedal. I have been using it on my jazz gigs using strangely enough the church setting dialed down on the delay and fx level and I love that sound. I also use it playing my strat in a worship band and been using a few different settings depending on the tune. I have used it also on a solo gig using an acoustic guitar, suffice to say it has been getting a work out and I have been very happy with it and the service at Sweetwater, I will definately be buying from them again.

Nice reverb pedal

I really do like this little pedal.. I get the sounds that I want from it. It does not exceed my expectations but it does meet them. I usually leave it on the spring mode. I find it to be smooth slightly warm and not offensive. It does what I want and that is why I bought it. The hall reverb has a nice sound as well as the plate and cathedral settings. You can get some crazy reverbs going if you wish. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I buy it again? Yes. You cannot beat the verbs in this pedal for the price. If your thinking about getting it.. Do it.. You will keep it..

Well rounded reverb unit!

Excellent room, spring and hall reverb with good controls to dial in just the right amount of decay and FX. I mainly use a small amount of room reverb for certain songs and dry mostly. For what I need, this unit has a professional sound and doesn't leave me hungry for tube reverb. The Hall of Fame has way more reverb options than I would ever care to use or explore, but that may be a selling point for others. I also like the small size (doesn't take up much room on the pedal board). Overall very pleased and would purchase again.

Hall of Fame Reverb

Works well with my new T/A 15 Mesa. Plenty of options to get the exact sound your looking for in each room you play in. Easy to make adjustments as needed.

definitely a bit hyped: can sound really good, but does less than it claims

I have this and am using it on accordion and acoustic guitar and some of the settings sound really good! But (often depending on how much you turn up the decay), some of the setting have a real corny digital-sounding ring to them. Not quite as deep and rich as I had hoped, but I guess there's no substitute for physical resonance. If you listen close and tweak the knobs, you can find sounds that are interesting to you and quite beautiful and usable.

The hall and church settings sound as good as I hoped, and the tile setting was surprisingly amazing. The mod sounds pretty dumb. The mod sounds meh-ok if you turn the decay all the way down. Two of the toneprints I tried sound bad. But I will keep trying them. Some of the other settings have very little effect to the sound (especially "Ambient") and are indistinguishable from each other, and some of them just sound like a less or more intense version of the settings that sound good.

The toneprint thing is kind of gimmicky idea. It would be alot more artistically interesting to develop a way for TC Electronic (or any pedal company for that matter) to provide education to buyers to tweak their own pedals. Of course there's nothing stopping us from opening it up to its guts and experimenting. But for the price of this one, it might be better to leave it as it as and go experiment on a Behringer.

This thing sucks a fresh battery in less than an hour. I tried this pedal on a gig I had this morning with accordion, and it didn't make it through the gig. FAIL! I guess I have to use the AC adaptor.
