When I heard about this, I thought they were finally getting around to a Shimmer REVERB. But then I read it again, and realized that Fractal is just shoving a big fat middle finger in the face of people who are still waiting for a shimmer reverb patch to show up in the FX8.
Lulz, silly huh? I guess it's only us losers that like shimmer reverb anyway though. Besides, who needs it anyway? We already have a 'plex' delay patch that sounds just like shimmer reverb (as long you're not actually paying attention to how much it doesn't sound like it, ammiright?).
Sorry, just frustrated at this point. Tired of carrying around extra pedals when the FX8 should be able to replace everything. It really sucks to have something so close to being perfect, yet so far. If I whining about not having some obscure fuzz pedal, then I'd tell myself to suck it up. But come on.... shimmer verb isn't exactly a special/rare/uncommon effect - just look at the market.
Apologies for the thread jack!!!!!! The shimmer drive sounds like it will be pretty dang cool if/when it hits the FX8.
