TC Electronic Fluorescence Shimmer Reverb

The choir of angels effect! Shimmer reverbs turn a single note on your guitar into a cavernous expanse filled with a thousand voices singing in harmony. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration but you get the picture!

As with the rest of the Sonic Specialist range, the Flourescence boasts simple controls that allow a multitude of great sounds. Shimmer controls the level of the octave signal, while tone allows you to dial it dark and ominous or bright and sparkly. This compact & affordable addition to your pedalboard will add anything from a subtle textured ambience to a full-blown swirling soundscape – and everything in between. What’s not to love?

Here’s what TC Electronic Have To Say About the Flourescence:

• Shimmer reverb is one of those effects that you have to hear for yourself before you really know what it is.
• Originally pioneered by recording legends Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, shimmer is produced by layering a tail of reverb that is pitched up an octave and sent through a feedback loop on top of the dry signal.
• This produces lush soundscapes that take on a life of their known, ranging from voluptuous chimes, to interstellar travel-like sounds that will evoke memories of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos while you’re playing.
