Shimmer options?

[Martin Chorlton]

Hello all. I have a line 6 verbzilla which I use only for shimmer however it has now stopped working for whatever reason. Assuming I cannot fix the problem,what other options are out there for shimmer? I do like the tone from the verbzilla but am interested in exploring other alternatives.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your time.

What's your budget?

Good question. Seeing as though it really is only shimmer I'm after, I guess not too much. Let's say max $250.

You could go for the Behringer RV600. I currently use it for reverb on my piano, which only sees action for NYD. I have had the Verbzilla in the past for shimmer. The Behringer is a one for one but much cheaper. Punx has an excellent review which was the basis for my purchase.

You might get a bargain if you search for h3000

M5 is definitely one of the best option I think.

That would be my suggestion also, unless you wanted to spend a bit
more and get the M9.

I'm quite happy with my current tone and setup however I must admit the m5 now does sound appealing for the shimmer and for a second delay pedal etc. Is it practical for programming presets for songs?? Ie. Song 1 - a slapback delay, song 2 - shimmer, song 3 - long mod delay etc?

Thank you all for your feedback. Cheers.

I have just seen and heard so many mixed reviews about the rv600. Not reliable, sucks tone, hissing and then on the other hand people like yourself say it's great. As far as tone and sound, are both the rv600 and verbzilla equals?

Thanks to all for your input.

I guess really it depends on what your mission is. Is it to simply and affordably replace the verbzilla and just get your shimmer back?  Or, do you have $250 burning a hole in you?  If it's the latter, I agree with Jeff and say the m5 is your best bet for the money. I have one of those as well. Great unit. Only downside is you can only use one effect at a time...if you need more than single effect at a time, it's the m9 for more $$.   That said, the RV600 is a good unit for the cost. Behringer takes a beating for their products and they have earned, but this one, I think, is worthwhile.

FYI - I just noticed the Behringer RV600 is currently $39 with free
shipping from Amazon (in cart price). That's about the price you can
buy a used one on ebay, shipping not included. The reviews are
definitely mixed but that's cheaper than an evening out. Question is
whether or not it's worthy or if it sounds as cheap as it costs. At
this price, it's almost disposable. Could certainly get your money
back out of it on ebay if you don't like it.

Wow, that's a good deal. I'm not sure if the shipping would be free if shipping to Canada though..... appreciate the "heads up" though.

Just can't seem to make up my mind with this one. RV600 seems like the way to go just from the price point. I liked the verbzilla but it crapped out on me just after a year's use. M5 is a good option but lately I have been thinking of updating my multi fx unit to the hd500 that way I get the Octo verb, particle verb plus plus plus. Decisions, decisions.....

Thanks to everybody's ongoing advice, it's greatly appreciated.
