The GFI System Specular Tempus is a highly versatile stereo reverb and delay pedal that can go from conventional and classic sounds to experimental and ambient soundscapes. A total of 32x effect settings are available, and all of which can be tweaked directly on the device using the LC display and controls which include blend, decay/time, parameters and intensity/repeats. Also included is a USB port allowing you access to the free SpecLab software for further effect control. If all that wasn’t enough the GFI Specular Tempus also has an effect loop so that you can incorporate other effects directly into the Specular Tempus, allowing for a nearly endless selection of customization and creativity, or if you like you can control the pedal via MIDI or optional footswitches.

Reverb sounds amazing, haven't experimented much with the delay but it sounds very good on a quick glance. There's a LOT of options and they all sound fantastic. Would definitely recommend a midi controller to get the most out of the presets etc. If you want a big reverb with some mad ambience this is it. The plate reverb on this is also very decent and can be used for normal/non-ambient stuff.
I was torn between this and similar products but after listening carefully I decided on Specular tempus which sounds smooth and warm to me. No regrets. This I would highly recommend anytime.
