This little black box is my favorite reverb in stompbox form-factor . In fact , the SR2 is more like an atmosphere processor than a mere reverberator . It doesn ’ t try to digitize the mechanical vintage verbs of yesteryear , but rather manifests its own galaxy of wonder that can go from slightly floaty and airy to fathomless dispersion of sound with the twist of the dials . The tone has an incandescent transparency that billows and blooms like a cosmic genie exhaling smokeform depictions of one ’ s tonal destiny in rising clouds of wonder . In short it is a serene , modern reverb with real character of its own .
I can ’ t think of a better pedal for conjuring that huge , lilting , shifting , morphing dimension of sound associated with Shoegaze guitar heroes . For metaphysical musical reverberation , this is the Norman Bates of psychoacoustic guitar treatments . The SR2 somehow stays out of the way of the
original signal , while filling all space around it with a huge halo of flattering reflection . Even with just the one core atmosphere it is worth the price of admission , but the Shimmer , Tremble , Voices , Modulated , Echo and Infinity settings all bring different worlds of atmosphere to the tone table . Velcro this to the top of the amp and dial in a perfectly strange and beautiful world of ambience .
