just had a chance to demo the T-Rex Room Mate and the marshall Reflector side by side....
WHAT A DIFFERENCE.... both sound and price-wise....
the Marshall was okayish but couldn't keep up with the Room Mate at all. It's only a third of the price though...
I tested the Reflector when it came on the market. I had the chance to take it home along with the Echohead and the Regenerator. I tried it in my daily used rig and almost everything I got out of it sounded muddy and muffled. Then I tried my RV-5 again and welcomed back the high frequencies I was missing with the Marshall pedal! I don't like those three pedals.
yup... only tried the reflector but it's a muddy sounding verb.... it also doesn't blend too well with the dry signal.... it somehow stays unattached if that makes sense.
sounds great in all four modes.... the dry signal is not converted back and forth is easy to use looks amazing the chorus mode sounds so polished (but in a great non-cheesy way)
I saw a live concert of Gary Moore on TV a few weeks ago and AFAIK he uses the room-mate on his board...had that great peter green/early fleetwod mac reverb vibe going on....
