The NuX Damp is a mini digital reverb offering three distinct types: Spring, delivering a bottom-heavy, classic surf-style reverb splash ideal for rockabilly; Plate, a clear, renowned studio-style ambience heard on countless classic recordings; and Hall, a lush, large, encompassing reverb with warm decay. Decay, Level, and Tone controls shape the core sound, and holding the footswitch engages a secondary effect, Shimmer in Plate mode or Freeze in Spring and Hall modes. It suits players wanting a compact, affordable reverb that covers surf, studio-plate, and spacious hall character with genuine tonal variety between modes rather than one fixed reverb voice.
The Walrus Audio Mako Series R1 is a high-fidelity stereo reverb, the sequel to the acclaimed D1 delay, offering six reverb types with deep adjustment in a compact pedal. Dedicated Decay, Swell, and Mix knobs sit alongside a Tweak knob that accesses Rate, Depth, and Pre-Delay, a Tune knob for low and high frequency voicing, and an X parameter unique to each reverb, such as overdrive on Spring or room size on Hall. Modes include lush halls and rooms plus experimental voices like Refract, a glitchy texture over diffuse reverb, and Air, an aerated reverb with subtle shimmer. It excels at expansive stereo space and ambient exploration. It suits ambient, post-rock, and experimental players wanting a versatile, workstation-grade reverb with presets in a compact enclosure.
