Iron Ether: Nimbus Bass Reverb
- Thread starter Marlat
- Start date
I'll admit, I'm tempted but it's a bit out of my range for a reverb. The filter sounds like a fantastic idea though.
Used my Nimbus a great deal last night. Played an amazing gig at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. The pedal was stunning. It sounds different than any other reverb I've used before. I honestly wasn't sure I'd like it when I first plugged it in. Using it live has fixed that. It does exactly what I was hoping it would do. It's very intuitive to use. I can get a bunch of different usable sounds out of it and can tweak them on the fly very quickly. My only gripe is that the knobs are useless on stage. I can't see the little black lines on the top of the knobs. I'll have to see if I can get some different knobs for it. I highly recommend the pedal though.
I was hesitant to spend that much as well, but I use reverb quite a bit. I'm glad I did.
The bit crusher is my next big purchase.
You were right.
I'm selling my RV-3 now.
The Nimbus is all that has been said about it.
My bass signal is clear and the reverb is lush and gorgeous.
The clean blend is amazing.
I'm done searching for reverb. This is it, boys.
I had no idea there were so many reverb fans; I thought I was alone. I'm trying really hard to not order one of these.
Awesome! Let me know if you would like to hear anything specific, I could probably whip something up for you!

just a quick question...if you turn the nimbus pedal off, does that kill the reverb tail? Or does it decay naturally?

The Nimbus does not do reverb tails when you bypass the pedal. It's not realistically feasible to have tails and true bypass at the same time - the tails function requires the effect to always be on, while only switching the input but leaving the effect output connected at all times, so by definition it won't be true bypass.
Polytope and Nimbus on accompaniment, Nimbus on melody. Excuse the poor playing: On My Way by Musicfreak1988 on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Wow. Nice tones. Maybe I'm late to this party, but is there a big difference "live" between the Nimbus and the TC Hall of Fame? I was leaning towards the TC, after hearing this clip. (Love the Jaco tone starting at 2:10.)
