T-Rex Creamer

I have 2 amps a blues junior and a solid state copy of one by Session, both good amps both have same reverb tank which is fine except the reverbs tail is a bit too long for my liking. I only use reverb as an always on effect and the TREX is perfect for this. It allows me to have an amp style reverb but able to control the decay and tone. The reverb knob mixes the effect with you guitar tone so beware that if you turn the knob above 11 or 12 you will start to drop a bit of volume as more reverb takes over the tone. You can compensate this with a clean boost pedal. There are 3 types of reverb Room, Spring and Hall. My favourite is the Spring as it has that bit of splash you want on a single coil guitar and its better than the amps built in verbs. The Room is very usable as well and especially when you want just a bit of the effect. The Hall is ok but dont expect Ambient shoe gazing sounds to come from it or neither do it do the drip you would want for surf music but it does get you in the ball park for that twang with the spring setting. Like I said I bought it to use instead of my amps built in ones. So over all I am happy with it another bonus is its small size but not so small that it tips over when you stomp it. The switch feels nice and there is no audible click in your speaker when turned on I think because it has a buffer in in I'm not sure. If it does have a buffer it does not effect the tone to me Its my first Trex pedal and I will get more based on the quality of this one.

All in all super, does what it says on the tin.

I decided to purchase this pedal following the purchase of another T-Rex pedal, the diva drive, and after a great experience with that, I decided to give this one a try. I'd been looking for a reverb pedal with spring, but versatile enough to use as a good all rounder at the end of a chain of 4/5 pedals, as I don't care for too many on the board (for now, at least!) So it's the first reverb pedal I've been playing consistently with.

It performs great, well built of course - really brightened up everything on the chain in a very nice way and adding plenty of room and - can you call it(?) - 'cream' to the sound, playing hard rock but also great for surf sounds and more bluesy cleans. It really wins on the clean tones and if you're amp reverb just isn't going to cut it or you want some extra versatility of this crucial musical ingredient at your feet.

There are of course some reverb pedals out there with more features but if you're looking for something very straightforward and easy to use - it does what it does it does very well and gives you a very good range from very subtle to cavernous reverbs when the decay and the reverb knobs are up high. Most of the time though, I find it's better bringing it in on softer settings, particularly if you like playing with buckets of gain.

The best thing I really do rate about the T-Rex pedals is the Tone knob, so you can mix the amount you need in with your clean existing analogue signal. This is must as it really keeps it subtle and it doesn't have in any way a digital feel to it when you engage it, in my view. That is the feature that I like the most about this pedal.

All said - I'm very pleased with it - would recommend - bravo!

Having a nice lush reverb with a ton of options and modulation for ambience is great and can be very inspiring. However, sometimes you just need something simple, easy to use and that sounds great. That is exactly the realm of the T-Rex Creamer!

I use it as an "always-on" reverb for my Orange Rocker Terror using the Room setting and I also use it to play surf music using the incredible good spring mode. The Hall mode is more spacious and sounds great to play intros and some ambience, however, there are other reverb pedals more suitable for ambience and crazy stuff.

In general, all modes works great, the spring is my favourite. The "tone" control works more like a mix control and blends your dry signal which is a nice feature for a pedal in this price tag. It also has a nice buffer that enhances your signal in a very clear way.
-Pros:
-- Three reverb types
-- Great Spring reverb
-- simple of use
-- can be subtle or full blow surf madness
-- great buffer
-- "tone" blends dry and wet signals
-- small footprint
-- affordable
-Cons:
-- not much
-- it is made of metal but feels a bit thin metal it is my only complain

You can find better-sounding reverb pedals but not at this price. It easily keeps head to head with pedals twice its price and it has the advantage of no complicated menus and options. I highly recommend this one.
