Eventide Space - Thoughts ?

Wazmeister

I've been offered one in a favourable trade...

Never actually played one, having a Big Sky. but like the look of the 'visible' knobs.

Thoughts about them good people ??

hubobulous

Brilliant effects in the Space. I love the Big Sky but the Space, (I don't have one but have the algorithms through the H9), is also excellent.

Wazmeister

Couple of questions;

1.) Can you add 'dirt' or 'break up' to any settings ?

2.) When you enter a preset, how do you know the saved settings ? Dot they light up like the Big Sky when you turn the knobs ?

GavRichList

I love it, which probably means you will not. 1) yes; some algorithms have dirt available. 2) the screen displays a < or a > as you turn a knob to show you which way to turn the dial for it to "catch up" with the setting.

Wazmeister

And so, young Gav, why do you love it ?

GavRichList

Depth of functionality is mind blowing. Every nth degree is customisable, and the sound quality is spectacular. Not just for the bonkers stuff either (though there are some beautiful horror-shows on tap) but also the standard plate, Spring, hall etc are all superb. Add to that presets programmed by notable luminaries such as Flood, Sigur Ros etc, and you've got one hell of box.

Cheers Gav... it looks like a real creative machine.

I've yet to hear a bad YouTube clip

It sounds great
Bored with the FX8 already?

Great pedal, great sounds, inspiring, completely ruined by enormous unusable preset lag.

Quite the reverse mate. The FX8 has changed everything, and I will write a thread about it.

It really is superb...

The aim is now to develop a 'creative' board of existing/new pedals.

I believe the updates have fixed that. Or an external 3 way switch 

meltedbuzzbox

just to add my 5 pence

I thought it was truly wonderful and I say that as an anti reverb player. 

Screamwarp, Demon call, blackhole, broken glitch etc were all brilliant.

I kept telling @GavRichList to get one, I am pretty sure he is chuffed with it

this video had me sold 

meltedbuzzbox

watching that video just reminded me of Quasar, shimmer and all the other stuff...

yes its brilliant

The one I had was a while ago but there was an incredible lag between changing presets. A good second or so. It just ruined it for me. Sound wasn't cut but it took ages for the effect to kick in. Really bad for the longer decaying stuff. 

Cabicular

I just use mine as a spring reverb in the loop of my PT (I'm not joking but it sounds great)

Every single Space algorithm or preset I've used on my H9s has been stunning.

jonnygreentrees

How many presets do you get on the space?

Lew

Wait I thought you didn't like the H9?

GavRichList

100 presets

GavRichList

...but obviously you can edit them all fully and / or replace them with your own
