First off, well done to Donna for a first-class service.
If you play guitar then you have got to get one of these. Definitely the best peddle I have at the moment. Great sounds and easy to use. I like reverb and this has buckets of every kind. You won't be disappointed, especially at this price.

I'm really impressed with the sounds I can get out of this little thing. I've used it with my guitar as well as a couple different synths through reference speakers and headphones, and the only problem I could remotely find is it may output a little too much low end if you have it really cranked; a problem easily remedied by an eq. Otherwise I can't say enough how much I love this thing. With my guitar it goes from adding a subtle warm reverb, to large room reverb, and all the way to crazy outer space reverb. It makes it sound like a different instrument when it's maxed out on hall, plate, and spring mode. It really shines with clean synth tones too. It can really make it sound like you're playing in an empty hall.

I bought this effect cause I felt my guitar sound was kind of thin and dry .After plugging in and switching on,a better sound was turned on,as well as my enthusiasm for this stuff.The sound become warm and velvety,and creats a sense of space around ,to my surprise,it doesn't cause any extra noise to my guitar amp when it's connected.A good stuff to bring the sound to other level.

I recently got a stereo looper and was looking for a stereo reverb to accompany it and this checked all the boxes. I was using some old stereo rackmount reverbs which were nice but could be clunky and complicated, definitely no good for gigging. This pedal filled the role nicely. All the reverbs sounds good, I especially like the spring reverb. I have a real spring reverb in my studio and as great as it sounds its big, old and fragile. I feel like you could through the Vintaverb down a flight of stairs and have no issues, its solid metal with nice components. A nice bonus feature none of my other reverbs have is "hold for freeze" where you hold the stomp switch and you get a wall of (I'm guessing) reverb regeneration, really psychedelic and fun, great for live applications. I made a video where i quickly rip through the recommended settings for each mode in the manual to give a quick feel of the sounds in the box. Nice solid black matte finish, BRIGHT LED.

It's unbelievable what £50 gets you these days for a guitar pedal! The Vintaverb looks great and seems really well constructed. There is a lot of control for fine tuning the sound, the tone knob has a large range and the decay goes to full atmospheric.
The Room, Studio, Hall and Plate all sound really good. I didn't care for the Spring, it's passable, but not as good as some other spring pedals I've heard. The Mod and Distortion reverbs both sound unique and add to the versatility of the pedal.
There is a slight volume boost when you engage the pedal, which didn't bother me. I did notice that there was some clipping on extreme settings for some of the reverbs, but I would never run those settings. I didn't test the stereo capability, but it's cool that they included it.

I wish there were more options to make it more vintage.

Donner makes a great line of affordable pedals. This is from their full sized line (they also have a number of slim-line) and is built like a tank. Advanced or professional musicians may want more versatility, but this reverb is a great value for the money. It’s versatile with many different sound profiles (spring, plate, room, studio, hall, etc). Other control dial in the effect, tone, decay rate, and reverb delay.

Gave my guitar playing more verve, but had trouble hearing later, but turned out to be an ear infection, maybe caused by small earphones being used which may not have been clean, who knows, but this product has loud settings, in a small room keep the settings on the lowest one, and if you're into heavy rock or metal then get some ear protectors which cut down the noise, I did.

I play synthesizers, and I love using effects pedals with them. The snag I often hit is that most of my synths are in STEREO and most of my pedals are MONO.
So I was very excited to hear about the new Vintaverb - IT HAS STEREO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS! For a pedal in this price range, that simply doesn't happen very often. Excellent move, Donner.
The pedal is sturdy and well-built. Metal case, solid knobs, and a good price. It has 7 different reverb flavors. So far my favorite is the "ambient distortion" reverb - it sounds pretty cool.

On the downside, there is no battery, so you’ll have to run it off a 9v adapter.
In summary, glad I purchased and I’d recommend!

Love this pedal! Such a wide variety of reverb. From an almost not there subtle sound to such overwhelming and sonic noise sound. The hold feature to let the last reverb continue is a cool feature and I can using it in a few ways. I like the trail of reverb when you turn the pedal off but also like to be able to turn if off for use with synth. Mainly used with guitar and bass so far but the little time I used it with my synth setup I can tell this is going to be useful!

I bought this pedal to use with my Fender Pro Junior amplifier; which sounds great but lacks reverb. The pedal works great for this application, but can do so much more.
As well as "spring" reverb (as is often found built-in on guitar amplifiers), this pedal also offers an array of reverberation effects usually found in a recording studio. There are room and hall reverbs, plate reverb, modulated reverb and more. All sound really good.
There are other pedals on the market that can do what this pedal does, but most cost 4 times as much (or even more) than this. For less than $60, this is an incredible little bargain. I'd definitely buy this again if it were lost or stolen.
