I'm not the only one
who likes Shimmer Reverb on an amplified acoustic for sparse fingerstyle arrangements, am I?

Shimmer is a pitch shifter putting 1 and 2 octaves above the chord or note. This effect emulates violins playing.

No, you are not the only one. When used tastefully, it’s a great effect. I use the Neunaber Seraphim for reverb & shimmer. It’s easy to turn the shimmer On/Off without interrupting the reverb. You just tap and hold the switch with your foot. |

I'm a fan. Petteri Sariola puts it to good use in a lot of his tunes. Here is an example, you can hear it in the fingerpicked part in the beginning. Very much like a 'pad'.

I love shimmer reverb and went down that rabbit hole for awhile. I had a Neunaber Wet Reverb pedal that I programmed to be a shimmer. Also had at one time a Mooer Ocean Machine pedal that was just a lot of fun. But I could never tame it for live use and so both have gone away. But I could listen to The Chords Of Orion ambient drone YouTube videos all day long!
Here's a great demo of the Mooer Ocean Machine. Warning! Don't go to YouTube and start clicking on these demos unless you've got time to kill!! |

I'm a certified reverb junkie.
By the way, fellow reverb lovers, its electric guitar, but if you haven't checked out the band Khraungbin yet, you need to. |

That sounds really great, surprised I've not heard this effect before. I like how subtle it is, yet adds a lot of depth.

I love shim delay on my Electro-Harmonix Canyon Delay.

I think the performance overshadowed the effect here! Wow! What shimmer reverb I don’t hear it? |

EHX Oceans 11 has become my go-to reverb. Its Fender tank emulation is as good as I've heard, and the shimmer is excellent.
