The Wash V2 adds reverb to the signal and through a complicated network of internal feedback loops, subtle multi-head Binson effect, and what Hungry Robot have coined "ripple effect," It works to add a hauntingly beautiful wash to your signal in ways that can't be accomplished by stacking a reverb and a delay in series. It does all of this while keeping the clarity and presence of your original signal without getting lost in the soup of decay.
The Wash V2 reacts to your playing unlike the common DSP reverb/delays with an infinite sustain function. There is a dynamic quality to it that is hard to replicate with any other single pedal.
I like the Wash a lot. I had the V1 a few years ago, but sold it and was missing it recently. It really does the subtle "under your playing" ambiance better than most with its darker tone. I also like the glitchy artifacts you can get with the red knobs cranked--it is more musical, in my opinion, than the usual runaway oscillations that get super crunchy. Tone-wise, the V2 sounds the same as the V1 to me. I like the addition of the tap tempo, though I wish it was a soft footswitch for tapping and that the LED would indicate the tempo. Still, especially at this price point, I don't think you can find a better ambient/post-rock-in-a-box pedal.
The art design and easily twistable knobs alone make this pedal. But of course its the detune, analog reverb that truly makes this shine. It has an funny way of oscillating almost like a recursion. I've never heard or played anything like this. A must have for ambient players.
This really is a one of a kind in terms of reverb and delay. It's magical. Its got lush modulation and you won't notice the digital processing, must have a good AD/DA. Just wish it were (true) stereo.
Hearing this pedal for the first time, I had to have it. Great atmospheric/ambient pedal with reverb and delay built into 1 pedal. You have total control of how much reverb and delay you want that creates a beautiful wash under your playing. It can go from subtle, dark and mellow to crazy delayed reverb repeats. Its one of those pedals that adds such a beautiful flavor to your overall tone. I love mine. Grab one, you wont regret it!
This is one of those pedals you can play without needing much else, at least to get a really dreamy sound out of it. Good stuff.
