The thing about reverb is BAD reverbs are some of the best. Why do you think so many people have a quadraverb? It’s because it has that character that you’re not really going to get from a $500 pedal.
It’s like, sometimes a bad sci-fi movie is way better than a “good” one.
I love using small room reverbs on drums and using a 100% wet sound. Sounds way better on a bad reverb like the monomachine reverb.
