Rather than simply having the note sound back at you, it fades in slightly before introducing all these extra sounds, so it's very easy to get overwhelmed with everything very quickly, and a long decay afterwards doesn't help. And, just to prove that everyone is different, the gang at Premier Guitar loved the pedal's Shimmer mode: "[ It's] the star of the show and can dish out startlingly rich, glammy, post-rock colors with fluttering, warm overtones.
