T-Rex Room Mate Reverb

Input jack, 2 output jacks, 12V DC in. True bypass, tube-driven item (12AX7).
4 modes of reverb: plate, warm, bright, warm w/chorus. 4 knobs: mode, mix, high cut and level.
Pretty simple to get useful sounds in a short time. Shouldn't need to read the manual for this!

The quality of the 4 reverb effects are of a great manner! They sound always natural and clear, the guitar's tone keeps alive, yet. Not noisy at all. The signal processing is digital, but it is led through the 12AX7 tube, so it always sounds warm (analog)! Fantastic plate, hall and reverb effects you get here!!!
It would be nice, if it were possible to change the time of the effect in every single mode, too! This way I would give it fully 10 points!!!

Seem to be built solid enough to last for a long time of usage! I would gig it without a backup!!! T-Rex says that its tube should work for 10 years, but maybe you should have a spare tube for the worst case!?

Never had to deal with them. Seems to be a professional type of company, if you look at the prices and the quality!

I use reverb with clean sounds mostly. Keeps its place on my pedalboard definetely! I would buy it again, if it would be stolen!
Expensive, but it's worth the money I think!!!

Exceedingly straight forward. Anyone could dial in something very quickly that they found made a good contribution to their sound. While only 4 basic settings are offered, in reality the sprectrum of sounds this pedal offers is reasonably broad considering how few controls there are overall.

This is both a digital and analog pedal. The fact that there is a 12AX7 tube in it's architecture is NOT something you would miss in making a critical assessment of it's contribution to your sound. The tube aspect is definitely noticeable in warming up the overall tone. If you use a solid state amp this would be definitely be helping you add signifcant warmth to your sound. The high cut filter is an equally welcome addition. Because of this control you can dial in more of the reverb effect for general ambiance and not have the reverb's tail get in your way or seem unnatural. To me it's the 12AX7 plus the high cut filter knob that set this pedal apart from anything else out there. My ears tell me this pedal offers the best of both analog and digital reverb. Imagine an excellent Fender spring and Lexicon LXP-1 verbs running concurrently. This will get you close to the sonic realm that's the core charm of this pedal. The reverb's tail I found to be very natural and complex. Using both outputs makes a significant difference in achieving spaciousness and spread due to some designed in delay algorithm differential. I did not find the 4th setting's sound (combined reverb and delay/chorus) to offer what I had hoped for in playing chordal-style jazz, but I'm glad it's in there and intend to experiment with it further. It is the plate and warm hall programs that I found most musical. Runs very quietly! The by-pass worked well/ transparently when I had levels adjusted properly to compare.

Too new to know. The manual states that the 12AX7 is designed to last 10 years?!? Who knows. Maybe it would be best to have a spare 12AX7 in your emergency repair kit arsenal. It's reliability is not an issue I'm very concerned about. Seems totally solid in its construction. The tube does make the pedal warm after use but nothing to worry about. On a darker stage you would see the tube glowing warmly.

Unknown thus far. I'm optimistic they would be make an effort for me if things went south.

This is definitely something you should check out for your own purposes if warm reverb and spaciousness are important to you in your sound. My satisfaction with this pedal is right up there where I'd hoped it would be. -At $369 list these are no giveaway, but overall... it's humble features, sound and musical contribution justify the cash outlay to me. It's an excellent and fully worthy reverb. I will be using it full time in my set up. My LXP-1 will be collecting dust from now on.

four Knobs makes it easy to get the exact reverb you want

Best Sounding Reverb I have heard in a pedal. This one is not a tone sucker. Crisp and clear deep lush reverb. finally I found the pedal. Excellent! Thank you T-Rex

No preoblems yet. Built solidly like all the pedals in their line

I hear that T-Rex has great customer support. I have not had a problem with any of my T-Rex pedals

This pedal is the best Reverb pedal I have heard Period.

Very easy to use. The unit has not only a good choice for the amount of features, but also stereo outs, which can be handy. Further, the Room-Mate gets along well with high level input signals and has enough output to drive an effects return that needs to be driven harder. It's very easy to get a great sound. The 4 modes don't say anything, which means you have to open the manual to read what they are. Also the power supply is 12V DC. I also have the Replica which is 12V AC. I'm sure there are reasons for this, but in the end it's quite annoying to deal with all these different wall warts. That's why it's an 8 only.

In bypass there is no audible difference. The whole sound processing happens here on absolute professional level. I am surprised that this unit is cheaper than the replica, because the sound "feels" more expensive. Not sure what the tube is doing, but I actually think this makes my whole effects chain sound better when it's activated. The 4 modes are distinctive enough and very useable. I am happy that I don't have to deal with 16 different reverb modes like in many other FX units. The 4 modes here are a perfect choice and there is enough versatility in combination with the High Cut filter. The sound stays even at high effect mix levels transparent and punchy.

Seems reliable to me. But cannot tell yet as I only had it 2 days.

No experience.

I play in a Top40 band and have to cover from Madonna to Rage against the Machine. Guitar is my passion since 17 years. I was mainly looking for a reverb to thicken the sound a little bit and only rarely give a real effected sound (e.g. Solo in Pink Floyd's Time) and decided to go for an external unit rather than the integrated reverb of my guitar amp, as it's more flexible. I love its simplicity and high quality, which is the same why the T-Rex Replica is such a great choice. Plug in and be happy, don't worry about anything related to reverb anymore. I wish it would run on standard power supply as I hate too many cables, and mess on the floor. I compared it to the optional internal reverb of my guitar amp and decided to get the T-Rex instead.
