For more traditional “spaces” the hall, room & chamber modes were excellent in adding depth. The Shimmer effect is always a great way to generate synth-like pads, and having two of them takes things to a whole new level. For added real-time control of effects, an expression pedal connection is also at the player’s disposal. Full-size MIDI connectivity is available, as well as USB. It’s stereo as well and can run at line or instrument level. There’s not a lot of deep editing to get lost in, and the large display gives the info needed in a very simple and streamlined way. Every element of the reverb effect can be manipulated through the controls on the front, as well as quick editing on the fly. The three footswitches can navigate through the presets, and can be set to true or buffered bypass, bringing in elements such as continuing trails after the effect is turned off. On board are 50 factory presets, with the ability to have 300 presets stored in the pedal.
With 16 modes of reverb it has pretty much any kind of ambience covered, from vintage slap back to cascading ambient soundscapes.
IK Multimedia’s X-Space has reverbs galore, with ease of editing, some great extras, all at a great price. They can also get expensive, and overwhelming to some players.
Large format (three or more footswitches) pedals have become the standard for effects, with options for tweaking that can get to the molecular level.
