Eventide Space Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal

Comments about Eventide Space Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal:

The Eventide Space stompbox is just about perfect. There, that's it; no further review needed. The Space create perfectly believable and sonically pure reverb environments, as well as temporally twisting your sound tails until you squeal. I don't mean to be glib, but every time I play through it, and every time I modify a space or effect (for not all of the results can be considered 'reverb' but are totally fantastic creations) I seem to lose track of playing and get lost in sound and environment creation. Not all of the presets are what I consider to be "useful" but I think that's more because Eventide wanted to demonstrate its capabilities instead of trying to load it up with everyday presets. I said that the box was just about perfect, and I think it is safe to say that it is close to perfect in the sonic realm as you can get for less than $3,000-$5,000 (and especially in a box meant to sit on the floor and get knocked around), but the interface is just a bit clunky, just a little less than 'easy.' Perhaps in the next iteration of Eventide's boxes, which all use the same knobs and buttons and I/O and display, we can get a better display that can show several lines of text at once when editing but still display some big bright text when in "play" mode, and maybe we can get an editor for the computer, but short of that I don't think I'd change a thing. That about sums it up for the Eventide Space. You can get lost in the reverbs, looking for cracks in the digital walls of the spaces created and finding nothing but acoustic goodness. It emulates springs and plates well, and the spaces are so real that you may find yourself wishing for 7 channels so you can place the walls where and how you want them. The slaps are subtle or in your face, as you wish, and the temporal wackiness can get as wild and dirty (or clean) as you wish. This may be more than some may want, for it can do a lot more than simple reverb and if it's only going through a noisy amp then much of its benefits may well be lost (but there still are the reverse-spaces and other creations that may be of use) but if you love what a perfect reverb can do for your sound, and/or enjoy doing more with a reverb than simply adding a temporal tail to your sound then you will love this. Check out the many demos online, remembering that they likely won't sound as clean and pure as the Space itself does itself (how many 20-bit soundtracks does the Tube stream?) and if you can check one out at your local Guitar Center store. One last thing: I think the Space is very useful beyond sitting on the floor as a stompbox. I think it could stand on it's own as a stand alone unit, perhaps not as accessible as rackmount box due to its rather limited interface (although its 11 knobs do let you adjust it pretty easily) and it hasn't as many presets available in memory (Eventide does provide a librarian via a free download) but like I keep saying, it sounds simply wonderful.

This pedal is incredible, it took a LONG TIME to come off backorder and get to my house after I ordered it but from the looks of it it's fully in stock now so there shouldn't be a wait. Anyhow, this pedal has some of the wildest sounds and settings, there's really too much to say about it, look up alan chaputs video on youtube about this pedal. I believe the name of the video is "Eventide Space - Reverb and beyond"

This pedal sounds awesome, but you won't realistically use most of the sounds. It is not very easy to figure out, so just make sure you have some time to dedicate to it. The other thing I don't like about it is how you go from one sound to another. I wish it were set up more like my Line 6 delay pedal. I wonder if they ever have women give input in their designs for just a different way of looking at things. But, it does sound incredible. That's why I bought it.

I bought the Eventide Space Reverb and a special distortion pedal to "daisy-chain" to my Fender 57 amp. (Killer amp with no reverb) I was amazed with the mere preset algorithms: PLATE, SPRING, SHIMMER, ETC. But what had floored me was the tone and special effects using the DUALVERB algorithm!! When fed out in stereo to two separate tube amps in my living room.....Incredible yet quite subtle differences in the reverb, delay and decay through both amps. It took me to another place! Sounded like nothing I'd ever heard. Absolutely beautiful tones and endless options. My buddy is coming over with his bass tomorrow and there are some bass presets waiting for him as well. The Eventide Space Reverb is probably the coolest and most inspiring piece of gear that I have ever bought. Expensive $$$$??? Nope, swear it?s worth every penny. Top of the line friends!

Very unique sounding pedal, has a ton off great effects an also some things ill probably never use. Its a bit hard to get a grip on since every effect knob changes with the effect. So .... Ultimately there are 13 or so base effects, from there you tweek and get your sound. The coolest effect for me is the shimmer. Awsome sounding when run sterio. I use this for guitar and havent used it with any other instruments. Im digging it..

This thing sounds awesome!!! I use it with guitar and it definately gives you some ethral sounds. In ways it can imulate keyboard sounds and synths. has great reverb and modulation. Some of the presets are way over the top and unusable, and its a little hard to master since the knob dedication changes so manuel is a must for tweaking. Other than that its way solid construction, probably going to stay in my set up for a while.
