YMUZE Moskyaudio Mini Spring Reverb Guitar Effect Pedal

It's a bit of a one trick pony, but it's one good trick, if that's what you're after! I've given it 5 stars because it it does what it says it's supposed to do, and it sounds good, introduces no extra noise (that I can detect, anyway) into your signal, is super inexpensive, and strikes me as really solidly built. (Now, I haven't gigged with it for months on end - just took it out of the packaging, put it on my pedalboard and spent a couple hours playing with it here at the house - but nothing concerns me so far about it's reliability.)There's nothing really to "ding" it for! However, a few caveats and things to consider.1) I think it's a very good digital approximation of spring reverb, *but* there's just a touch of modulation happening in the trails that becomes increasingly audible as you turn up the dwell control. It's not a bad thing - I dig it actually! But it's not something you'd probably expect to hear from spring reverb.2) it doesn't do that "drip" thing that some people really want from spring reverb - you know, that surfy pre-delay sound when you hit the note? it's "boingy" like a spring tank, but not drippy like the old Fender tube driven units or the Boss FRV-1. So if that's what you're after, it won't quite get you there - that said, with the mix and dwell cranked up, it's super lush and surfy sounding. With a bit of delay, great for ambient "pad" kinda stuff too.3) while it (at least the unit I received) is NOT a noisy pedal - does NOT introduce any extra hiss or white noise into the signal, the way many pedals do - there IS an *ever so slight* bit of volume loss and high-end roll off when the pedal is engaged, compared to your dry signal. It's ALMOST imperceptible, but the more time I spent comparing and listening closely, I began to notice it. NOW, you could just attribute it to softening / smoothing out your sound the way amp reverb does - maybe that's all I'm hearing! A little softer attack, a bit less "forward" in-your-face sound because of the way the added reverb creates some "space" in the tone. (Again, it's almost inaudible.) Or, you might consider, if it's going to be an "always on" pedal - which it likely will be for me, since it ONLY does the spring thing, and I bought primarily with my non-reverb amps (70s princeton, 60s epiphone, fender excelsior) in mind - the slight volume loss and high end roll-off can easily be compensated for by adjusting settings on your amp or on another pedal in your chain - turn up the volume and tone a tad on your drive pedal, for instance. I don't see it as a problem, but figured it's worth mentioning.4) random things worth mentioning: the blue LED light is super bright. The pots and switch feel very smooth and solid to me, and it's quiet switching it on and off. Didn't come with any paperwork or instructions in the box, but if you need instructions to operate a 2-knob spring reverb pedal, we've got bigger problems. Also, like most of these mini pedals, it won't hold a 9v battery, so you have run off a power supply of some sort (works fine daisy chained with my one-spot also powering a tuner, a couple drives, a delay and a chorus pedal, currently).5) Oh, last thing: while it's a good pedal at a great price, you might consider: for about 3x more you could get a used Hall of Fame or a used Boss RV-5, which would have multiple reverb sounds (hall, plate, etc), not just the one simple spring sound - so if you want options, it may be worth saving up a little longer to buy one of those "industry standard" multi-voice reverb pedals - they're probably more professional and durable as well. I love my Hall of Fame - also a great value at it's price point, especially considering all you can do with the TonePrint feature! But I digress....All in all, a great little spring reverb pedal! Supposedly it's a clone of the Malekko Chicklet - never owned one of those, so I can't compare, but my initial impression is I like the spring sound as well as my other favorite reverb pedals that I use regularly (Strymon Flint, Line 6 verbzilla, TC Hall of Fame), and way better than the TC Electronics Skysurfer I recently tried out (didn't like it at all! major noise-adding tone-sucker, too, with a spring setting that sounded nothing like spring reverb!) To put the Mosky in league with the Strymon should tell you something.Bottom line: if you just need / want a simple, always-on, affordable spring reverb, I don't think you'll be disappointed in this one. I'm very impressed by and happy with it.

My latest gear obsession is these affordable effects here on Amazon. I was frustrated with my sound and decided to roll the dice on some of these. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of each, except for the AZOR AP-320 Overdrive. But that’s another review!I compared the Mosky to the only other delay I own, the Maxon AD9. The Maxon was quite expensive when I got it years ago. It may seem like a mismatch to pit the low-priced Mosky against the mighty Maxon, but don’t count the Mosky out yet!The Maxon is a very natural sounding delay but can seem dark at times. The Maxon also lacks true bypass. Still, I’ve always considered the Maxon top notch. The Mosky, on the other hand, offers true bypass. I listened to some recorded samples through headphones and they both sounded rich. To my ears, the Maxon sounded a smidge more natural but a bit darker. The Mosky sounded slightly less analog, but brighter and livelier (in a good way). However, the fact that the Mosky held up so well has me questioning the purpose of spending a lot of money to get big brand pedals.The Mosky is small, well-built and comes in a sharp blue color. I can’t speak to the longevity of the unit, but it seems sturdy. There’ s really nothing to complain about here. This pedal is a quality delay and costs a fraction of the bigger brands. Sound is subjective, but if you are looking for an affordable delay pedal that sounds great, I would recommend the Mosky. Happy playing!

Ive had this pedal for about a year and a half maybe two years and I've been pretty happy with it. Was 30 dollars when I got and I would have given a 5 star review had it still been that price. Not to sure what other pedals are in this price range but I will say this is a very nice and simple reverb. I like that's it's made out of metal, pretty solid build quality over all. I dont get any noise and it sounds good in front if just about every amp I've ran it with. You can either drown your tone in reverb or use it as a subtle way to thicken up your sounds a bit. Have used it for indie, emo, and metalOver all it's simple, very affective, and well made. And personally I like the design

This pedal is actually an analog delay pedal. If you’re going to forgo real spring reverb, useable digitial options are very expensive. Cheap digital reverbs do not cut it, so go all or nothing here. Either buy this, which sounds great but has a little delay to it (in fact if you don’t have a delay already all the better) or go real spring $300+ or $200+ for digital. There is no point in going in between.Do not despair. The sound is like an old sun records recording. Reverb with a tiny bit of delay. Sounds great, and it is bright and harsh like a real spring reverb.

Good value, but I’m not impressed like others are. The reverb sounds too much like a delay and doesn’t have that fender reverb tank “drip” when you play percussively. It also adds a fair bit of noise to the signal, which is a deal breaker for me.

Had the Chicklet and gave it back to a friend who had traded me another pedal it quite some time ago. That friend came a calling one day, because he wanted to build a mini board, so I gave it back to him — there’s enough reverb in the world to go around I figure.Still, when the time came to make my own mini board, I can’t say that I didn’t think of the little Chicklet and the nice Dwell and 60’s Supro-style ‘verb it offered-up. Problem was, it had raised in price and is no longer being manufactured either, so ppl wanted to charge stupid prices for them.This pedal has to be an exact copy of that Chicklet’s circuit, and dare I say, it’s actually sweeter! From Otis Rush spring reverb and surfy drip, it’s got it all in spades and it does it at a very easy price.Would not trade this one for another verb, and I have them all, it’s a keeper.
