Fender Marine Layer
An affordable digital reverb pedal that nails vintage tones and dips into the ethereal, the Marine Layer should satisfy fans of contemporary reverb textures, Fender’s classic spring sounds, and the chamber sounds used on records from the ’50s and early ’60s. The eye-opener is a setting that mixes a dab of octave-up signal with post-reverb delay that feeds back into the signal, creating notes that swell as they recede.
