Every part of the Immerse Reverberator has been carefully thought out and designed. From the software used to run it to the amazing quality of the dacs and even the dry analogue passthrough for zero latency. You will not believe what a step up this pedal is from most reverbs until you plug it in and hear how it sounds. However, Neunaber's flagship W3T reverb mode has been refined too, delivering asmoother and more three-dimensional sound. Now with adjustable pre-delay, it enhances what you play without covering it. Hall – The lush, open sound of a concert hall, now with adjustable modulation depth for achieving deep modulated tones.

Plenty, sounds fantastic, loads of options without being too much, easy to configure, compact, not too power hungry at 80mA. Stereo, top quality parts. I guess Neaunabers expanse and exp system (which I believe is now discontinued) catered for presets. Whereas the Immerse is more of s standalone multi reverb unit without the need for an additional footswitch to switch between algorithms Negatives: no presets, it’s on the pricey side especially when you consider that it doesn’t have presets and a lot of reverbs in this price range have them. An option for a favourites switch like strymon have would be nice even if it meant the pedal was wider or taller as it’s already very compact. This is quite a minor gripe, but hopefully something that might be remedied in a later version. CONTROLS Effect level, depth, tone, variable function control (depending on mode selected), eight-way mode switch: wet, hall, plate, spring, 2x shimmer, rev+echo, rev+detune; ‘kill dry’ and trails switches And those ultra-ambient washes we were wondering about? They’re in there – but make that a million lovelorn angels. If you’ve ever listened to a cathedral organ and thought the best bit was the slow dying of those massive, dissonant overtones after the organist stopped playing, you’ll enjoy kneeling in front of your amp for a few sacred moments of this.The Immerse can do all of this in a box smaller than either of the two reverbs that it has replaced. The shimmer mode on the MK2 is as good if not better than the previous version. That being said, I don’t find myself using it on shimmer all that much. My favourite setting is the W3T algorithm Neaunabers flagship reverb. The main reason I prefer the Immerse over other reverbs that I have tried is the ease of use. The Specular sounded fantastic but was a pain to use. It does have pre sets, but I am more a set and forget kind of person. I don’t need lots of different pre sets, I play in my spare room. I can fiddle with the settings to my hearts desire. Over the past few years his company has built a strong reputation for their multi-mode digital effects, in particular for their lush reverb and delay pedals, receiving especially high marks for their shimmer reverbs. My pedalboard has recently had a bit of an overhaul. Firstly I altered the drive section quite substantially. Then I came across a Neunaber Immerse at a price I really couldn’t say no to. I had been looking at getting a Source Audio Collider to take care of reverb and delay, effectively reducing three pedals to one. Seeing the Immerse put a spanner in the works. I had played the MK1 and enjoyed it very much. The shimmer was excellent, a real standout. I couldn’t however find one at a price I was happy to pay. I then got my hands on the GFI Specular Reverb, which is also excellent and has an outstanding shimmer mode. The Specular did all of the ambient washy reverbs that I like and I had a Boss RV-6 for the more standard plate and spring that I used all of the time. Not to mention that each of these effects also has a control knob that changes use depending on the type of verb. For hall sounds it turns in to a modulate option while on plate it turns in to a pre delay. Don't worry you won't have to memorise this as it is right on the pedal for ease of use. The Immerse Mk II houses eight stellar stereo reverbs — W3T (new Wet version 3), Hall, Plate & Spring Reverb, Shimmer, Wet+Sustain, Wet+Echo, and Wet+Detune. Each effect has been painstakingly crafted: there are no fillers here. Delivering unrivaled sound quality and no-nonsense flexibility in a compact footprint, the Immerse Mk II can be used with instruments of all stripes.

Sustain – A new algorithm built on the W3T reverb. This magical, versatile effect can be configured as a sustainer or infinite reverb. goede keuze van soort reverbs. Zeer goede kwaliteit van afwerking (klik draaiknop, voelt heel stevig aan).Echo is a blending type delay. You can control how much delay you want in your signal or how much reverb. It’s more of an either or while blending between the two. To be honest, the delay was frustrating at first because it sounded better than my other delay pedals. What a good problem to have though. The sustain algorithm is an odd one. It can be configured as a sustainer or an infinite reverb. I think I have only used it in the sustainer mode and need to try it in infinite. As a sustainer it only sustains the notes as you play them and once you move to another chord or note it cuts out, this could just be user error, but it wasn’t something I explored further. Echo is more of a reverb with a bit of delay, which could be useful to make a sound even vaster. It’s again not an algorithm I’ve spent much time with. This week Neunaber unveiled a new version of their flagship multi-mode stereo reverb, the Immerse MkII, which features new circuitry, and upgraded algorithms that were fully redesigned from the ground up “they are certainly the best I’ve created to date” – says Brian. W3T (Wet version 3)— exclusive to the Mk II, our new flagship reverb is smoother and more three-dimensional sounding than ever before. Now with adjustable pre-delay, it enhances what you play without covering it. The obvious advantage of this is that you have many different sounds living inside the unit at once and flit between them with the twist of a rotary switch, rather than having to ask your PC for help; the two disadvantages are that you lose the near-infinite tweakability of software, and that the control layout becomes mighty crowded. There’s no appreciable difference in price between this and an Expanse box.

Neunaber make pedals for the ambient guitarist. Their range of shimmers, verbs, and modulation are all created using digitalalgorithms but with the quality you would expect out of an all analogue circuit. The Immerse Reverberator is a multitype reverb pedal that covers everything from the subtle to the insane. As in the pedal’s previous incarnation, each mode can be tweaked through five knobs: Effect Selection, Mix, Depth, and two multi-function controls. In addition, external Kill Dry and Trails switches and stereo in/outs that can be used in mono or stereo contribute to make this stompbox also extremely flexible. Hall sounds similar but with a nicely judged pre-delay to keep the dry sound further out in front, and is equally luscious with a dash (or more than a dash) of modulation. Plate differs subtly again, adding some metallic density, and this time you can adjust the length of pre-delay. Inevitably, that’s at the expense of modulation – a minor compromise, but perhaps the first sign of the compact format’s limitations. Boasting an analogue dry-throughsignal path for low noise and zero latency, the Immerse MkII also sports a high-quality buffer to ensure that your signal remains strong and clear. Stereo outputs also let you take full advantage of the incredible reverbsoffered by the unit, so that you can achieve an ultra-wide wall of soundwhen using two amplifiers. Modes: Spring– The distinctive twerp of a tube-driven spring reverb. Now with adjustable modulation speed, it can achieve a vibrato-spring sound.Sustain– A new algorithm built on the W3T reverb. This magical, versatile effect can be configured as a sustainer or infinite reverb. Spring is not a type I used much before as they just sounded too digital on other pedals to me. However, Neunaber has made it a prominent tone for me. I’ll move into single coil territory with a tiny bit of dirt while I add a spring reverb on it to create a very vintage tone. That’s four of the five knobs. The 5th knob is a variable knob that changes its purpose depending on the reverb type you use.

If it sounds good do it, just to be clear about that. Its RULE 1`of music and electronics takes a bak seat to music in my book, even if you are blowing up a vintage supro amp worth over a grand. W3T (Wet v3) — Our flagship reverb algorithm is smoother and more three-dimensional sounding than ever before. With adjustable pre-delay, it enhances what you play without covering it. The Immerse Mk II raises the bar with eight rich stereo reverbs in one easy to use pedal. No user manual required. Experience studio-quality tone that can be used with instruments of all stripes. FEATURES Mono and stereo inputs and outputs, buffered bypass, powered by 9V mains supply only (not supplied)If you’re in the market, do yourself a major favor and give this a whirl before making your decision. I’d recommend this for any guitar player looking to add a high quality reverb. This, or some variation of it, will be on my board for a long time to come. Once you’ve managed to decode that array of lines and words wiggling down from the central mode control, you’ll find there are eight sounds on offer: four standard reverbs, two with ‘shimmer’, one with added echo (delay) and one intriguingly labelled ‘detune’. The bottom-right knob controls a different parameter depending on the mode, while the tone control doubles up as delay time when you’re in ‘reverb+echo’ mode. With 8 richer reverbs and a Mix knob that goes 100% wet, the Immerse Mk II is our best-sounding reverberator to date. Delivering the same no-nonsense flexibility as its predecessor, it’s more user-friendly than ever before.
