The Wet Reverb comes in both mono and stereo models. The stereo model has a tone control knob that the mono model does not. How important is this knob? Just running one amp, I can't see that it would be worth the extra money for a stereo pedal unless the tone control is worth it. I am assuming that the sound is the same in both pedals.
I am seriously thinking about getting one of these. Does anybody know the best place to order one at the best price? You can send me a PM if you like to answer this question.
Thanks.

Buy them used or direct from the mfg. There are no middle men. Google Wet Reverb for the mfg.

| I use the mono version and it's so good I stopped using delay. Most amps give you plenty of eq choices so I wouldn't think the tone control feature on the reverb will be missed. |

Me to Bob. I no longer use delay. The wet reverb is the only way for me.

| George, I have the stereo Wet Reverb and use the tone control to vary between a "mellow" reverb (about 9 o'clock) and a brighter, "vintage" reverb (about noon). By controlling the tone of the reverb tail with the 3rd knob, it really expands the range of different reverb sounds you can achieve. I don't think any eq adjustments on the amp can duplicate what I am talking about. |

| I had ordered the mono version of the Wet Reverb, but they accidentally sent me the stereo/tone knob version, and then were nice enough just to say 'keep it.' I have to agree with Gary that the tone control is a nice bit of added flexibility, particularly if you are switching guitars. I don't go wild with it, but as Gary notes, going from about 9 o'clock to noon does change the tone in an important but subtle way. I probably wouldn't have missed it had they sent the mono version, but now that I've gotten used to it, I do appreciate its ability to help shape the sound. |

| Appart from the tone control feature on the stereo version of the Wet reverb, could you just use a "Y" cord out of the mono version to two amps to do the same thing as using two outs on the stereo pedal? |

George, not if it's a decent stereo reverb. There'll be different amounts or times of lag/echo in each channel.
There's a difference between two mono and stereo.

| Thanks for the reply Lane. I have the mono version of the Wet reverb and love it, but I guess I'll go ahead and get the stereo version too. I do occasionaly use two MB200s into two cabs. One with the EPS 15-C and one with a Telonics 15. |

Charlie, Google " Wet Reverb " and listen to the demo's. Not steel guitar but you will get a good picture.

I use the mono version and have no inclination to go to the stereo model. I love the simplicity and completeness of it's 2-knob design. An additional tone knob? Not what I want or need.
The Wet Reverb is the best reverb I've ever used (other than super high-end studio gear) and I knew it after playing through it for 5 seconds.

I've owned both, but I kept to mono. The stereo version is great but if you're only using one amp, I like the sound of the mono version a little more.
The cool thing about the stereo version is that you can change it to the Echelon Echo or the Chroma Chorus with the "pedal customizer" software.
I agree with Eric that the sound quality is superb. I own a Strymon Big Sky, it's got all sorts of great sounds that the wet doesn't, but the basic tone quality of the wet is better. That goes for the Strymon Flint and Bluesky as well. |

| Charlie, I have one. It's not for sale but if our paths cross sometime, you're welcome to try it. It is very good. I generally use the built in reverb in my Sarno preamp, but I use the Wet with the MB200 Gallian Kruger lightweight amp head cause it don't have a reverb. |

Does the tone control on the unit only act as a tone control on the reverb sound or does it affect the tone of your guitar? The reason I am asking, is that my guitar with my Evans FET 500, is just too bright, even with the treble all the way off on the amp. I am having to run my Izzy after the tone control (which hurts the Lil Izzy effect to some degree) on my guitar and I do not like the tone control on the guitar. If the tone control on the Wet Reverb affects the tone of the guitar, then I could go Guitar > Lil Izzy > Black Box >volume pedal > Wet Reverb > amp. That would let me use the tone control on the Wet Reverb to tame my highs without having to use the tone control on the guitar.
The stereo pedal is $50.00 more, and would have a higher resale value, so maybe I should go stereo. Still undecided. I do like the simplicity of only two buttons on the mono unit but if the stereo unit's tone control will let me use it to control my highs instead of having to use the guitar's tone control, then I want the stereo unit. If the tone control only controls the tone of the reverb sounds, not the guitar, then I will probably go to the mono version.
Somebody let me know more about the tone control on the Wet Reverb and if it affects the tone of the guitar or just the tone of the reverb sounds.
Thanks for any help.

Nobody has answered my question posted earlier asking if the tone control changes the tone of the guitar or only the sound of the reverb?
This is something that I need to know so that I can decide if I want the stereo or mono model. I guess I can contact the manufacturer, but I hate to bother them with such a simple question because I know they are very busy.
Thanks,
George |

| Charlie, I guess the back trouble will haunt me the rest of my life, but have figured out ways to live with it. Got the cotton out. Had to cancel the last 2 gigs because of the icey roads. Next one is the Stagecoach in San Angelo Dec 21. Come see us. |

Funny how these threads seem to sometimes "drift".
It brings back memories of when I was a kid where you would whisper a saying or sentence at one end of a line of people, have them repeat it to the next person and see what came out the other end.
Hang in there George. You'll get the answer.
I hope I don't have to buy one of these too.

George, the Wet Reverb Stereo's tone control knob is for the reverb effect only, NOT the dry guitar signal.
One of the great things about the Wet reverb pedals is that the guitar signal remains clean, analog, and uncolored while the reverb effect is blended in along side that. This is the topology that sets the better delay and reverb pedals apart from the rest. Analog dry signal is king!
TC Electronic and Strymon are other good examples of this hybrid analog/digital parallel topology.

george..if you're having that much trouble with highs, i would at least try leaving the izzy out of the chain to check the sound you get without it. with the izzy and the black box...and especially if you've got an active volume pedal, you might just be going overboard on the buffering. leave something out and maybe find a crappy cord that cuts the highs.
i'd just experiment with those ideas. good luck. |

I just bought a Strymon Blue Sky, and although pricey, is amazing. Now if I can just find a delay pedal of that quality. |
