Title: microverbs
Post by: sour d on December 12, 2014, 10:17:37 AM
If anybody is looking for an original microverb, let me know.  I have a stack of these.  $80 with power supply shipped to you or $70 without power supply.

I have 2 and love them!  I use 1 for the reverse setting and the second is always on for a little reverb.

If you don't already have a MicroVerb, you gotta get at least one to put in your rig.  The reverse setting is great for those deep jams!

I sent you a pm. Not sure if my messages are getting sent. I tried sending one to the seeker too but I have nothing in my outbox.

If you guys haven't tried one of these, they are really cool sounding. You aren't going to find a cooler delay-like effect than the reverse reverb, and definitely not in the same price range.

this is prob a noob question, but how would I hook the microverb up to my chain or effects loop?  I wouldn't want it on all the time and its not a stompbox, so how would I turn the thing on and off?

Look into latching pedals from Boss.  Trey looks to be using these.  I use a Boss FS-5L for this purpose "defeat switch".  Can be had for 30 or so dollars.

And that "once" pedal, a FS-5U through the boomerang auxillary out??

Yes but that's a custom job by Brian Brown. The Boomerang doesn't come with a standard "once" out. Would be nice though. Good thing he only uses it for Heavy Things.

Here is my board when I had a Microverb. Its under the tuner in this pic. I have two Boss FS-5L Latching Footswitches. One is for the Micro, the other is for my Mesa's Lead Channel. Usually, I stomped both of them at the same time for leads.

One question that I had regarding Microverb.  I have the settings similar to what I can find regarding Trey's settings on reverse.  Sounds great no doubt, but does it matter at all that the input signal always makes the LED light red?  The manual warns against this for the best sound but I find that I can seldom if ever keep it green.  Does this mean anything?  Does it harm the Microverb in some way?  I know, sounds like a dumb question, but curious.

Also, new to the forum but been lurking for a bit.  this is a great place.

I don't think it harms the micro, but digital distortion is nasty. Turn down the input volume and turn up the output.

Same thing happens with me and I've been using the MicroVerb for years and have had no issues with it.  I think, as someone else stated, it just could mess with the signal but if it sounds good to you then I think you're good to go.

Any of these still available?

Not new, but good deals can be found on eBay.  I mean, Alesis still makes Microverbs (i think 4th iteration now) but don't know if it has reverse reverb.  There are several other pedals that reportedly do this quite well though in lieu of an Alesis.  Also, I think most of the new pedals do a reverse delay which isn't the same thing IMHO.
