I think Creamer is a quite reasonably choice at this price. Analog and very simple to use. Once you’ve selected your reverb type, with REVERB knob you can adjust the mix of wet/dry sound, with the DECAY knob you can adjust the “size” of your reverberating space. Finally, with the TONE knob you can fine-tune the character of your reverberated sound.
Pros:
- nice warm room reverb. Usually I'm not a fan of room reverbs but this one is quite enjoyable.
- analog bypass: you get dry signal + reverb, not all your signal mixed together with reverb.
- springy spring reverb... other reverbs does not have that distinct spring sound. It's the one I prefer.
Cons:
- it seems that somehow there's a signal amplifier so your signal sounds louder just going through this box, even in bypass mode (I placed it at the end of the chain, after the delay, in the effects loop of my amp). This is ok if you use this pedal only at home and if you use this pedal always on, not good at all on stage. I thought there was something wrong with my effect chain, but I found out dozens of reviews saying the same (unfortunately I didn't see them before purchasing).
