Very nice and honest review. I bought one and don't regret it. For me, who has never been very excited about reverbs, it works just fine!

What a beautiful sounding guitar. Pedal does exactly what it should, sounds great as well.

Henning, your reviews are the next best thing to trying a pedal yourself - I trust what I'm hearing completely. For an amp that doesn't have a built in reverb this pedal will probably fill that gap. Personally I've just picked up the Biyang Tri-reverb that a couple of other people have mentioned in the comments. It's also a great way to add reverb to a 'dry' amp, and has a bit more range than the TC.

Thanks to support me, I get this pedal today on ishibashi guitar store from japan, This video definelly helps me a lot! Greatings from Japan!

Nailed exactly what it's good for. I just bought it the other day because my built in reverb in my amp shit the bed. I have it dialed in at maybe 7 o'clok on both reverb and mix and it's fine. I only wanted it for a bit of reverb in my sound so it's not so dry. Any setting above that gets a little hairy especially if using any kind of OD/Distortion. Great review, Henning.

But you could say is good enough? Is this pedal worth to set on your pedalboard.? Many thanks for your answear

nice sounds. very thorough and honest review too!

Thank you for actually explaining how the pedal works!

Hi Henning, I´m very happy that you have tested the Skysurfer. When I saw the promo video of TC Electronics on KZread these days, I was so excited, what a great reverb you can get for 49.- €. Now I've seen your test and I´m back on the ground of the facts ;-) In your test it will be clear how quickly you get to the limits and that it doesn´t sound as great as in the maybe post-processed promo video. What a pity. I think my choice has now finally fallen on the new Boss RV-6. Ok, this is three times more expensive but you can hear it. And I´m searching for a great reverb that will flash you, when you turn him on :) Thanks for the great test! It helps me to take a decision :)

First guy who show this pedal with usable settings.

I just want to hear each reverb cranked to the max on this pedal. I hope i see it hear!!

This Skysurfer is super cool !

I rarely get jealous at guitars but your guitar!! OMG =)

Been telling all my friends to sub because Henning really wants this thing to grow larger but they keep telling me, "That's what she said!" Am I missing something?

Nice review, Henning. I have bought a chinese Biyang Tri-Reverb that is about to arrive. It has an A/B switch instead of a tone knob. But it has two inputs and two outputs, the feature that would have made me choose the skysurfer as a cheap reverb. (I had no money for two skysurfers considering there are other needed gear too). The only thing I am not sure about the Biyang is if the enclosure, switches and knobs are resistant enough, but I know I'll be gentle with my paws when playing and I'll protect it when carrying it. But along the way, I think I'll get some more reverbs, including homemade spring reverbs, buying spring tanks from China. It's easier to build than I thought. I keep an eye at the Hall of Fame reverb stompbox, though. It is my primary choice (as stompbox) if I had the money.

Luke Reiss I have the biyang tri-reverb. absolutely slays. just be sure you buy it new.

its nothing special but if you need a pretty good reverb for cheap this isn't a bad thing. But if you already got a Hall of Fame, which can do a whole lot more and packs the tone print, its a better deal to keep that. I still don't understand why people drop $500 for a Strymon Bigsky when all their gonna do is put the reverb in the background

hyperliteBo I have the biyang too. for $50-$60 USD, it's an utter steal. great sound and config. I'm really interested in this one too now though

Nice Demo! I noticed that the TC Chassis now similar to the Strymon chassis... (the two u shaped profiles, see the BlueSky) ;-) Only with that feature, the pedals will suggest a higher value! ;-) Anyway, nice pedals, nice demos a usual! Thank you Henning!

Hey Henning. Will you be doing a series of reviews on the new Harley Bentons that have just come out?

I see this as a reverb you use just for some depth which is kind of demonstrated by TC's demos. And I think it actually does a decent job. That's it's territory. It's no space reverb. It's more like hearing a soundcheck in an empty hotel dining hall while standing outside of it. Like that. And I'll probably get it just for this task. Then run the thing into a good delay and that's the sound I like.

I have one and it is actualy good for the money

My Mooer Shimverb is pretty nice and it was well under $50, but I'm liking the TC a bit better since I don't use the shimmer function.

JH Scofield imho the Mooer Skyverb is better than the shimverb And even better than the TC here (as far as I can tell through a YT vid)

Will there be a demo of the Thunderstorm Flanger? Not much on the webtubes yet.

thanks for the review. You said this is a digital reverb pedal? I've read also that its analog. It doesn't say anything about it in the specs. How can you tell?

btw. i know, most likely a tough choice but just being curious - Beruman (however u spell that) coppertop (however you spell that too) vs Hartung Embrace Wahntage (HOWEVER YOU SPELL TAHT TOO! I don't know things!)? ;p cause you always said that that was the best LP you ever played (and it also looked epic, not exactly 1:1 LP, just very close), and now you are playing this one so i am curious if this is just better or you had to give that one back to its owner or whatever. ;)

On a side note, what happened to the Engl Pedals reviews? Not good? They look horrible but have some cool features.

That little Jazz piece at the start was awesome man....the pedal is ok but I think I will stick with my HoF mini.

This, Holy grail from EH or baby boom tri reverb?

you sold me on the guitar for sure lol

As a cheap utility reverb the Behringer Delay-Reverb stomp box (DR400 possibly?) is also worth a look. It's a shitty, plasticky box but since it just sits next to my amp in the effects loop it doesn't get too much of a pasting. Plenty of options, sounds just fine and cost about half what this one does.

I NEED lightweighted (=plastic) pedals, cause I usually need to fit a lot of stuff into a regular backpack. I would need to be quite clumbsy to break my Behringer, but hey, they´d make more money me buying a replacement. Everybody don´t skip and stomp around carelessly while playing :D but do get around playing from venue to venue ;)

it doesn't look like non of the popular online stores have this yet

you matched the pedal colour to your trousers, then forgot to change for the skysurfer

Did he say behringer bought tc electronics? Is the flashback and HOF real tc pedals

hey dude where are you located in ,, I need to go and grab some stuff at your place .. xD

I'm struggling with this pedal, and many others for spring, to me sounds more like a bathroom reverb. The best setting is Reverb almost full and a little bit of mix. And a use a compressor volume after to get things tight. I always run a Alien Verb (brazilian awesome one knob pedal) and nothing can beat it.

Henning: Skylanders Me: **Awakening Memory Overload**

Yo what guitar is that!!

Dry-Trough like hof?

Henning - Thank you for the demo...I've been watching all of the "Tank" series reviews, but THIS was the one I was waiting for. (As an aside, did TC Electronic really release a series of 13 new pedals with a unique form factor and not come up with a NAME for the series? What do we call these?!) The reason I was particularly interested in the reverb is that this is really something new at this price point. Just like we didn't really have sub-$100 looper pedals until recently, we really didn't have sub-$100 reverb pedals, and particularly those endorsed by known Western manufacturers. So for a lot of budget and beginner players, this is potentially a big deal, especially if this the one they happen to see in Guitar Center and can afford (I have yet to see any in the United States, but hope that changes soon). Henning is pretty good about evaluating all pedals on a equal playing field, rather than gushing over a $30 pedal simply because of how cheap it is. I felt there was a lot of that going on here. Factoring in the price and that it's a reverb, I assumed this would be the biggest seller and most hyped of the new TC pedals. I largely agreed with his review - it's decent, but obviously doesn't offer anything that the $100-and-up options wouldn't. With the cheap Chinese brands, I've found that the more digital the effect gets, the scarier it is. The "Spring" reverb on this actually sounded decently "spring-like", and that's a type of reverb usually not found on the budget reverbs. Agree that it's kind of disappointing that there isn't a dedicated "decay knob" - I had assumed that's what the "reverb" knob was, but that sounds like more a wet/dry setting, while the "mix" is more like a "blend" knob. On the plus side, the "tone" knob seemed to make a big impact. This will still likely be the first of these that I pick up (also interested in Rusty Fuzz and a few others). Thanks!

TC Electronic is saying these are available at Guitar Center only in the states, so it's apparently an exclusive. Definitely interested in this one; all my amps curruently have reverb, but it would be nice to have a reverb pedal as a just-in-case.

All I have is a 90€ used squire affinity and a fly3 (because I Am a bassist 😂). I was thinking of getting the hall of fame mini, but this sure looks interesting. Any thoughts?

Ian Kelly they are different... the Space Verb is big and spacey, not too great for subtle stuff... and it is missing a Spring setting. both are ok, but not great. Both are different in how they feel.

A most honest review and your right it's not a pedal that will open up the heavens for you. For me those Strymon Blue Sky pedals are the Dogs Bollox but of coarse in an entirely different price bracket. Deffo not my cup of tea this pedal. I think even Arthur Dent would of threw it back and said that's disgusting (LOL)

I'm in a dilemma here... i got like 90% of the pedals i wanted except for a reverb... my question is should i first buy my reverb or but pedalboard powersupply etc etc? not: i'm a student and can't afford to buy 'em all at once :'D

MAYBE you can get a good delay at the price. DEFINITELY you can get a mindblowingly good drive at the price (joyo sweet babe... :D). BUT you cannot get a reverb below the price of lets say HoF. At least.

I got one yesterday....For that new age " ray of light" or eighties "duran duran" reverb : NO For that dirty, dark and musical sixties sound : OH YES. want to get rid of the dark tone that's in the way? Just turn down the "reverb" knob (less dacay).

I understand Is a good pedal, but not too much at all

Detuned guitar.

It's BERINJER NOT BEHRINGER! Ask Uli! He knows how to pronounce his own name lol! Music Group IS BEHRINGER! A nice reverb.

kingstumble OK, you might be right. I have only ever heard him pronounce his name as Behrinjer, so I'll go he!

TL;DR

just turn up the mix knob, we came to hear the pedal.

Thanks for saying they are based on Behringer. I'll pass. I'd rather get a used Hall of Fame reverb.

very disappointed with this pedal. sounds ok on clean or light distortion (like tube screamer), kick it on a muff though and the algorithm completely reshapes the sound so much its unusable (mby too much compression? way too much high end comes in, bottom disappears) and those mix and tone knobs are incapable of fixing this. power hungry little beastie too.

I don't know this guy or his background, but I bet those 50 thumbs down come from the fact he seems so wealthy and he is such a jocker...

Thanks, but I think 20 minutes is far too long for a pedal review!
