Anyone here own one of these? I like the idea of getting a gain pedal with reverb and vibrato options available and that it's based on one of the best amplifiers around. I'm not able to shell out the big bucks for an actual Deluxe Reverb or a reverb tank. I was wondering what anyone here thinks of this pedal, is it worth it? I also don't own a reverb pedal, will this get the job done?

Thanks in advance! :D

I wasn't impressed with this pedal in the least, nor the companion "Bassman" simulator. The tremolo paled in comparison to a real tube-driven tremroach-based circuit and the reverb was just barely adequate. And yes, I currently own a Deluxe Reverb (re-issue) and I've had a couple of original vintage blackfaces and a silverface in the past.

Thanks for the response! :) I guess I'd be better off in the meantime putting my cash towards a pedal that focuses entirely on reverberation rather than emulation.
