VanAmps Soul-Mate

Very easy to use in front or in back of effect chains, or all by itself.

Completely quiet. Sounds as good as Fender unit, but with no tubes to hassle with and much smaller footprint. Uses real springs!!

I popped it open and the build quality is superb!!!

Very business-like when ordering and actually got my particular color built- even though they were currently making a differrent color. Haven't needed to call them back as the unit has functioned flawlessly.

Owned and played through almost every reverb product made. This is definately the best bang for the buck! Sweeeeeeeet!!

2 knobs (dwell and output)....true bypass switch.

Actual spring reverb in a stomp box - great sound quality - using with a non-reverb Bogner Shiva. I have used many digital reverbs in front as well as a G-major in the loop found them all lacking. While the digital units have many types of reverbs how many do you really use live? If you want to just add some great spring reverb this is the unit. I have a Fender Princeton Reverb that I use for practice and the soulmate adds the same shimmer and depth as the Princeton.

Built like a "tank". I've had this unit for a couple of weeks and doubt very seriously that it will have any problems.

Very good to deal with. Tim defines honesty and integrity!

I've been playing for 30 years, anything but classical. I got a great deal on the Shiva and knew I would need to find a reverb unit. Spent a year trying different digital units before I found VanAmps. Now I have what I real spring reverb in a stompbox.

Very easy to use. Sounds great off in the chain.

I don't know or care who else uses it. I know use it. Pumping it through 59 Bassman RI, USA Tele (Voodoo BD Caster Bridge & Adder Plus Neck) Freak'in whales! Love this pedal very transparent! It's a darker type of reverb compared to others, but doesn't darken your tone. We're talking quality here folks. All spring no hall or room type of effects yet still gets pretty deep & wet. I've owned Boss, Holy Grail, Songworks LL. This kills those others by far. If your looking for all natural. Sounds best before EQ or Max.

If your giging good luck.....

The guy over there is cool. I forget his name. I don't think he leaves his customers in the dark like most do.

I'm very happy with it. Well worth the money. I wish it was more durable but I don't know if that's even possible....design wise.

Very easy to use. One input, one output. 2 chicken head knobs, One for output level, one for dwell setting and 2 switches, one for effect on and off (which is true bypass) and another input and switch if you'd like to plug your amps tremolo and do away with another foot pedal. All in a tidy little box that measures 10" x 6" x 2". I keep mine sitting on top of my Bigdog 18 watt head. You also have several choices in coverings including tweed and blonde. This is the Single channel amp version of there popular Reverbamate.

All I need to say is WOW! But I will elaborate a little. My Bigdog has no reverb and I've used the following digital reverbs. EH Holier Grail (decent but noisy in the front, but much better in the loop) ART MR-1 (sounds good but hard to set input and output levels) Last I was using a Line 6 Verbzilla and thought it was pretty nice until my soundman brought his Fender reissue tube reverb unit and oh my, much richer sound and made everything sound better. I thought about finding one of these and wasn't apposed to hauling it around for the sound but after doing some checking on HC and other internet sites I ran on to people talking about the Reverbamate. I emailed several people who had them and they all said they thought it sounded every bit as good as a tube unit if not better. I couldn't agree more. It's all analog and it sounds like a great tube reverb in a smaller package that I'm sure would be more road worthy.

Can't say for sure but I think the track record for the Reverbamate is very stellar.

Tim at VanAmps is a great guy and always answered emails very fast and thorough. Also I bought this unit from Analogman as I was told he was getting the first batch of Sole-mates. Mike was always quick with response to questions as well.

Well as you can see I'm behind this unit 100%. This makes the whole pedal path sound better and it reacts with all of my pedals very well and doesn't blink and eye even with pretty heavy distortion in front of it. I did try this in my loop and it sounded fine there as well but to tell you the truth I think it sounds better in-line the way it was intended to be used with no noise added at all. Try that with digital! I'm very impressed.
