Question Vermona Retroverb vs. Demeter RV-1

I tried a friend's Demeter RV-1 recently. While it sounded good, I didn't think it was versatile enough to warrant the high price. The sound was really smooth, which could be a good thing ot bad thing depending on what you are looking for.

So I am curious about the Vermona Retroverb... how do you think it compares to the RV-1?

I cant comment the demeter but I can highly recommend the vermona stuff.
its an interesting company with very reliable products.
the retroverb is very versatile and good sounding

Unfortunately I have no way of checking one out, and I am having trouble getting feedback from people who have used them.

I played with a vermona retro when I was in Germany a couple years ago, and I own a Demeter... to me they're not the same kind of beast. The vermona seemed more like a funky filter processor, that had a simple spring verb attached to it, while the demeter seems like a straight-forward but (to me at least) surprisingly flexible sexy spring and that's it.

I had a *lot* of fun playing with the vermona in the store, but I already had a demeter, and I have other toys I use for filter processing type stuff so I didn't pick it up. I did think about picking it up for my live guitar rig though...

Not sure if that helps you at all, but those were my general impressions.

I haven't heard the Vermona, but I own a Demeter and i love it. I like it on vox and guitars, but have yet to try it in drums, though i'm sure I eventually will. It's pretty straight forward, and like all Jim Demeter's gear, is built really well. It's got a short decay channel and a long decay channel. It is certainly worth checking out. It's a great sounding spring...
