EBS DynaVerb

Very easy to get a useful reverb. Three modes of reverb (hall, room, and plate) is selected by a three way toggle switch. The reverb times are also preset using a 3 way toggle switch. The two knobs control the amount of the reverb in the mix along with a tone/high frequency attenuator. The manual is always sparse but adequate. The little blue on light is cool.

I play bass, but imagine it would be fine for guitar. I use other ebs pedals, and this is one of the quieter ones. It's not absolutely dead silent, on the contrary, if you use a horn loaded cabinet like swr or aguilar, there will be a noticeable hiss. It gets really annoying at high volumes. But, I cut down on the super high treble and back off on my horn attenuator, and it's acceptable. The quality and control of the reverb is not going to be like a higher end lexicon, but it is excellent for a pedal. It is certainly just as good as my rack mount Yamaha spx 900. But, unlike the 10 lbs and extra rack space that the spx requires, this little pedal is all the reverb I would need in a live situation, and probably for home recording as well. I run it at the end of my pedal board chain which includes a fodera outboard preamp, ebs multidrive, ebs compressor, EH bass synthesizer and chorus. Since it's a pedal I'll give it some slack, but as far as reverbs overall, it's nowhere near the best rackmount reverbs. One very important point is that it maintains the low end of my bass really well, and it doesn't change my tone. It also doesn't seem to mess with the phase which I notice with other pedals from Boss, dod and the like. This is why I think it is worth the 200+ price tag.

Built like a tank. You can take this one into battle, just don't pour beer on it!

The tech. support is historically excellent, but the one email I sent didn't get answered for 3 weeks!

Overall, don't expect a high end studio quality reverb, but do expect a relatively quiet, versatile reverb pedal that will faithfully maintain your original tone in a small sturdy stomp box. The only way this thing is gonna get better is if lexicon comes out with a pcm91 in a stomp box. For a pedal it's very high quality.

It doesn't get easier, two knobs and two three way switches

I've been waiting for this kind of pedal for years, I gave up and was gonna buy a lexicon lxp-1 and put it in the rack. One night when I couldn't sleep I accidently found this on the web!!!!!! So I wrote my musicshop a letter, they said that they would have it sometime before christmas, the next day I pass the shop, go in and they have it, it had arrived that day, so I tried it, I was sure I was gonna be dissapointed, I always am, I've tried really expensive rackgear, none of them are ok to me. But this little pedal! It is outstanding. It would be a crime to not own one.

EBS is swedish, I'm swedish, they have to be good

This is a winner, pick one up today forgett about rackcrap, holy grail, everything. This is it! Your wait is over, surrender to the force of the swedish reverb pedal or the vikings will haunt you forever.
