With the ShimVerb Pro Digital Reverb, the Chinese mini-format specialists at Mooer have once again produced an affordable pedal that is sure to make an impression - not only on guitarists, to whom its wide range of richly adjustable reverb sounds are specifically tailored, but also on keyboard players and studio operators, for whom it will prove to be a compelling choice. Thanks to its stereo inputs and outputs, a standout feature - the integrated shimmer effect - adds a distinctive character to the sound at the touch of a dedicated metal switch, and with five versatile presets covering essential reverb spaces, all of which can be further shaped using a two-band EQ, this compact unit provides both flexibility and creative depth in a remarkably user-friendly format.
The Mooer ShimVerb Pro Digital Reverb's five presets - Room, Hall, Church, Plate, and Spring - cover everything a player might need for a versatile and expressive reverb sound, and with its intentionally straightforward design, the ShimVerb responds instantly to every adjustment, making this pedal a favourite among guitarists for its intuitive and musical nature. At the same time, its stereo signal routing also turns the device into a hot contender for keyboard setups or studio applications, and with each preset offering the ability to add the shimmering effect and even boost it an octave higher with the flip of a switch, the Mooer ShimVerb Pro Digital Reverb opens up an inspiring space for spontaneous creativity and sonic exploration.
For musicians on a tight budget, the Mooer ShimVerb Pro Digital Reverb is an ideal companion for creating spacious, expressive sounds. Despite its compact size - true to Mooer's hallmark design - this twin pedal offers a surprisingly wide range of options for players to customise and shape the reverb to suit their personal preferences, with the superb shimmer effect adding a compelling tool for further sonic exploration. All of this comes housed in a rugged metal casing that measures just 106x96x53mm and weighs in at only 440g, built to withstand the knocks and scrapes of regular use without compromise.
Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.
Whether it's fastened to a guitarist's pedalboard, integrated into a keyboard setup, or placed on a desk for recording sessions, the Mooer ShimVerb Pro delivers a versatile array of reverb effects that will suit any application, while its straightforward, intuitive controls and stereo compatibility ensure ease of use across a wide range of setups. Adding to its appeal is the highly sought-after shimmer effect, which enriches the reverb signal with harmonic overtones, along with a powerful two-band EQ that offers precise tonal shaping - making this pedal a complete solution for crafting expressive, atmospheric soundscapes.
