Mr. Black Eterna Shimmering Reverb Review

FINALLY:  THE ETERNA!

My Review of the Mr. Black Eterna Shimmering Reverb.

I've avoided reverb for years.  I guess it's always reminded me of that processed and isolated sound of the 80's, but I have been craving a little more space around my sound as of late and after some thoroughly enjoyable "research", I settled on the Mr. Black Eterna Shimmering Reverb.  The video review can speak for itself, (or not... Sorry about the narrative.  I recorded everything with my iPhone) but the Eterna starts where most reverbs end and goes bigger and more ethereal from there. This ain't no spring tank!  I was cautioned by a user that the shimmer function is best used in small doses, and I understand his concern.  The shimmer brings in organ-esque upper harmonics that take over the sound pretty quickly as you dial them in.  I personally like that function.  It's almost like having a pedal for GIANT reverb tones and a super cool faux organ simulator.  Check out the video for more tones and info.  Enjoy!
