You can try adding a pull-down resistor between the input jack and ground. Got to try some different values. It's not optimal and sort of a shit hack, but sometimes that works for popping pedals.

I've been using an M2 for my stream for a few weeks, it's been great so far.

Since the Cooper FX shark tank is locked, did anyone ever figure out a fix for the Gen Loss footswitch pop? Mine used to do it occasionally the first time I'd switch it on, but I went to use it tonight and now it's popping every single time and twice as loudly. Can't use it at all like that.
I can second that, I have the m4 and that low low latency has been downright transcendental. :snax:

Are there any good reverbs that are also cheap? If not, why not? Are the components more expensive than (for example) fuzz pedals? I tried a Behringer reverb a few years ago and it was horrible. Yet their fuzz pedal knockoffs are pretty good.

Can you recommend a respectable budget reverb?

The digiverb commands respect, but I have not tried it. I have an RV-3 and it is no blackhole-niceness it sounds cool and good. For ambient I have always loved the modulated reverb on the RV-5, I don't know how much they are but not too much I suppose.

Others that come to mind that you can find for less than 100 bucks are
- line 6 verbzilla
- zoom ms70
- line 6 m5

The behringer verb would likely be somewhere at the bottom of the barrel.

It probably costs more for a pedal that can do multiple types of reverb - I'm mostly interested in spring reverb.

I just checked prices on the Verbzilla - it's near $100 now.

yep, that gets it fcknoise. Zoom multistomps are a nice deal - especially when you start stacking units up internally.

I had a digiverb, 't'was nice. I chose it over the Supernatural, which imo, was taking it into directions I prefer not to go (shimmmmurrrs). Looks like you can get the Polara for under a hundo, too - I was interested for a time.

Still have warm'n'fuzzies for the XP400, which at one time you could get for under a $100, but jetpack mods pushed up prices - maybe they'll come back down to earth?

I love the Alesis Wedge and Lexicon Reflex, both of which I got for close to standard-metalzone-units, but line levels :idk:

TC HoF seems polarizing - to me it mostly just seemed kinda dark....

If you like the lofi PT2399/Belkin brick soundz (which, because of the inherently high predelay time tend to evoke springs), used Ghost Echoes/Levitations or various diy joints can be found dirt cheep. I got a Russian one with an fx loop that is a good time :snax:

also - I don't know much about this dude Cyril Ritchard, but my interest in Tannoy gear has definitely gone up a notch or two :snax:

ah, the only thing my list did not consider was spring. I believe it is harder to get really good. I would probably look for a danelectro spring king at that point

The spring setting in the cheap Mooer reverb mini pedals sounds pretty solid. There's also a very cheap unbranded spring chicken copy that you can find on ebay that sounds pretty decent. The one I bought had the added bonus of shooting sparks out of it any time I plugged in an adaptor, so that's fun.

Yeah, you'd probably be better off with a multi-verb for the $100, or else a cheap knockoff of a Spring Chicken/Dunk Tank-type of situation?

TC does have a Drip pedal, though for a little more you could get one of their algo pedals, instead?

I always think of that J. Rockett BOING pedal, and also why other companies don't do single knob reverb pedals (it seemed like a thing everyone was doing around the time the Dunk Tank appeared, but maybe not so much now).

I looked for a DIY kit, but most are three knobs or out of the USA at the moment - it's surely a pretty simple build, though, right?
