2 questions (I promise they're about the POD GO) regarding reverb and a pedal purchase I want to make

[daveaphotopod]

I have been looking at a few pedals, such as the Neunaber Immerse, but I also own a line 6 pod go, and I don't want to purposely duplicate sounds, if they already exist in the POD GO.  For example, there is a shimmer effect, but there is also a shimmer reverb in the POD GO. But that particular brand has a WET effect. Is anyone familiar and does anyone know if the pod go can replicate that? Which....leads me to my next question....

 

I can do this research on my own if I could reference what the effects are. In the more recent version of the manual, it lists the reverb type/name but not what it.....means. Some of them just say "line 6 original". I know when NEW effects are added in firmware, Line 6 go into detail, but how about the other effects? I swear that I saw a site one that DOES have this information, but I cannot locate it now. Does anyone know what I am referring to? Or how to get more details on what the Ganymede does? (for example. To be clear, don't feel compelled to tell me what that particular reverb does. I am just looking for a list/web site where it lists ALL the line 6 "original" effects and what they do)

"line 6 original"  Just means that it's not based on existing hardware; so L6 created it, so no real details about them like there is for the new firmware effects..

Glitz = Strymon big sky bloom

Ganymede = BSS RV6 modulated

Searlights = Strymon Big Sky Cloud

Double Tank = Strymon Big Sky Plate Mod

Plateaux = Strymon Big Sky Shimmer

 

FWIW, IMHO, etc.etc. the Go can already do so much..  With the new dynamic reverbs, with the modulated delays, don't forget that you can stack delays and reverbs together, I've been having fun stacking Delay + reverb + reverb, really, the possibilities are endless.  You do have to compromise on amp/distortion/compressor/etc., but you can certainly make it work!

 

 # of reverbs is crazy, quality is really really good.   IMHO, it's all about knowledge; so before buying anything, I'd just make sure you've gotten a good grasp of the current effects, quite a few resources..  But yeah, before you're familiar with all of them, and have experimented with matching delays and reverbs, I definitely would not get yet another reverb!!!  LOL  You can probably replicate or come close to most things out there now.

Btw that sounds quite a bit to me like the dynamic hall reverb!  But according to earlier quoted comment, might be closer to the double tank as the Strymon seems to be what it's most compared with, but I'm not really hearing it, for some reason, the DT is not my favorite PGo reverb!

Thank you! All great points, too!
