I wanted to talk about this new pedal by TC Electronics called the Hall of Fame Reverb. I saw a few mentions of this on Twitter, so thought I’d take a closer look – especially since I’ve been messing around with reverbs lately. The TC Electronic Hall of Fame reverb is a unit that holds a collection of various styles of reverb (10 reverb types). It is a stereo pedal and uses ‘TonePrint’ which gives you the ability to upload tweaks by pro musicians.
Beyond reverb type, there is decay, tone and level controls. It definitely is a great sounding pedal with a lot of options for reverb.
Here is the official description of the TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb:
The TC Electronic Hall Of Fame Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal is a collection of the ultimate reverbs, packed tightly in one cool pedal. With Hall of Fame Reverb, you are set for any situation that calls for a touch (or handfuls) of rich reverberation.
Hall Of Fame Reverb gives you 10 reverb types and a custom TonePrint for a world of inspiration. The reverbs comprise Spring, Hall, Plate, Room, Church and Ambience; from a subtle reverb to a full blown cathedral. Hall Of Fame Reverb features Decay, Color and Level controls, which makes dialing in sounds quick and easy. Hall Of Fame Reverb also has true bypass design, which ensures zero loss of tone when switched off, and features analog-dry-through which guarantees total tonal integrity of your dry sound, even with the pedal active. A small footprint, easy-access battery hatch, stereo in- and out and the highest-grade components complete this awesome reverb pedal.
