I've had the Nimbus before (as well as a Dr. Sci RRR and Strymon Bluesky) and it's excellent low freq damping is calling to me again.
Of the four I am going to have I expect to keep two, so the others will be in the classifieds post shootout! |

Oh man I can't wait for this! Please post your thoughts, including comparisons to what you remember of the RRR and BlueSky if you can. I am a HUGE reverb fan, and had a Nimbus on my board for a few years. Went back to an RRR recently which is what I had before the Nimbus, no regrets so far. |

This thing is amazing. It's an analog-voiced digital delay based on the Madbean CaveDweller delay in a wah enclosure. The treadle controls the dwell knob, which means I can make it go from just a couple repeats at toe up to insane runaway oscillation at toe down. The two small knobs on the left side are echo and blend, the large knob on the right controls delay time. So I can bury the treadle to make it start feeding back, and then roll the delay time knob with my foot to do the crazy pitching up and down sounds.
The repeats are nice and dark and dirty, it really is an amazing sounding delay.  |

The RRR was nice but for me was too "guitar" oriented which I actually find about a lot of Ryan's pedals. They just don't play well with my signal chain in terms of gain structure and stuff. The Nimbus is fantasic, for sure.
The BlueSky is good too, but to me its plate mode was the highlight and the rest just ok. I like the Flint 80's Reverb and WET much better.
I will make a new thread for the comparison for sure. The plan is to do a few different style loops (ambient, melody, synth) and run them through each of the reverbs. |

Well, don't forget that you will have been blinded by the pedal...

If I sell a few more pedals, I might treat myself to something special again.

As posted before, it's a Catalinbread SFT clone. This was also my first attempt at hand-drilling my own enclosures. I'm running it on 18v (had to just to run all those LEDs in series). It's pretty sweet!
Oh, and it has clear pot shafts & knobs
On!
