Ambient Reverb/Delay/Loop

[Alper Yilmaz]

I have listened to a bunch of demos for a few hours and I am currently between the Slo and the Fundamental Ambient. Does the Fundamental Ambient do any regular reverb at all? Thoughts on Slo vs. FA in general?

I have both the Ambient and the Slötva (version of Slö with three presets). Both are great, and personally, I think the Ambient is a subset of the latter which has more controls and can work closer to a reverb in the traditional sense. Ambient with the “mix” slider close to its left margin gets closer to regular reverbs but it is not your typical room/plate/spring/hall-type reverb. In other words, don’t expect the Strymon BlueSky or UAFX Golden-type reverbs.

Ambient does not have the Sustain (Hold) function, whereas the Slö does. In more conventional reverbs I also like to have pre-Delay. Neither of these pedals have that. Slö can definitely do a whole lot more than the Ambient can.

I would still go for the Ambient, though, but follow Walrus’ price promotions to get it for below $100.

Strymon Cloudburst. I like the Dispatch Master too.

EH Superego on auto (so the note changes when you play a new one), but also the champ for one pedal ambience now is the MXR Layers

Earthquaker Afterneath comes to mind.

El Capitan has a nice loop function that's easy to manage.

I went with a Bloodmoon for simplicity and spookiness. I like the idea of it being darker, most bass reverbs I've ever used I thought were too bright. Also, I've had a great experience with Mr Black in the past and it was $150 new B-stock. I also like how it looks.

Eventide H90. I stopped buying pedals after that (except for the Atifakt from Source Audio but I was looking forward to a low-fi pedal anyway amd was aware of the project). The Source Audio Collider is also a great ambient pedal. I do not have one because I have the Ventris reverb and the the Nemesis delay already I have one analog delay from Maleleko the Ekko 616. The self oscillation is tremendous and you can feed that o a reverb pedal for some synth pads

The Eventide H90 is a powerful pedal and has performance switches and if that is not enough you can hook 2 expression pedals for additional control. I am still curating the default factory presets and have Nate Navarro's bass presets and a couple Lexicon Vortex inspired patch collections

Check out the EQD afterneath. You can get some really cool ambient eerie reverb like you’re in a cave and much more.

I got spooked off the Slo/Slotva due to reports of noise. I really cannot stand any noise at all. Also switched gears from super versatile to simple.

Bloodmoon is great. Super spooky, long, long decay. I never usually like modulated reverb but this is really good.

Not cheap, but I recently got a LVX and MercuryX. These things are nuts! I have a CB Mood mkII on the way.
