MXR M300 Reverbchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Commenters repeatedly call the Pad setting the pedal's highlight, describing it as insane, inspiring, and superior to other shimmer reverbs. It's often cited as the reason people bought or kept the pedal.

One of the \"most underrated pedals\" in recent memory. This tiny box Sounds phenomenal. I have always been impressed by the MXR M300. Great tones, playing & production to showcase this little beast.launch

That sounds freaking amazing, I love it. I like the small non option paralysis size.launch

Room, plate, spring and epic modes all get individual praise, with users noting each setting has its own distinct character. Some say the room and spring modes are underrated and better than dedicated spring tanks they've owned.

@robertholsman

Totally agree with your summary - I would love to see a deluxe version of this with presets. All the algorithms work so well in terms of providing a ton of space without masking the guitar, its just a shame to have to manually reset the pedal to switch between a massive room and small spring when you don't really want to be bending down and prodding at a pedal on the floor mid gig!launch

Really liked the room actually! I really appreciate the functionality in multi reverb pedals of having a “I just need some verb on this” setting that sounds good \nNothing crazy just a tiddly bit of space\n\nDude! Having the capability to use a TRS in even with the internal switch is much appreciated. Noice.launch

I got one of these for my Marshall clone FX loop. As someone who is not a fan of pedals, I'll say that this pedal is excellent. I like the plate reverb setting. The spring reverb isn't bad either. I've heard actual spring reverb units that don't sound as good. This pedal is nice, and quiet.launch

I’ve had this pedal for over a year and forgot all the cool things it does. It’s nice to go back every once in a while and re-learn what a pedal does. I take screen shots of the settings and then go try them out.launch

Users appreciate having fewer knobs to fiddle with live compared to other multi-reverb pedals, while still getting a wide range of usable sounds. Several reviewers specifically call out preferring fewer controls over more complex competitors.

@10thfretTony

Nice job on the video. You showed off each of the 6 reverb’s very nicely. Your style of playing is very enjoyable to listen to, easy on the ears. The M300 is also my favorite reverb pedal at the moment. It just has all the reverb sounds that I like and I don’t need anything more. I love how simple it is with just 3 knobs. Yet it still packs a lot of features. My favorite being the MXR Constant Headroom Technology that’s built into the pedal. The extra 20v headroom makes all the difference in my opinion. It’s an excellent pedal. \n\nTake care man. ✌🏻launch

@guitarathomewithremy6064

I was shopping reverb lately and was considering the Immerse Mk2 and the MXR M300. The M300 won simply because I could find one locally. Your comparison gave me confidence that it would sound good and as Dan pointed out, fewer knobs to twiddle. I'm trying to keep things simple and focus on my playing rather than the hardware so less is more. I just got mine, but I've been loving the Epic setting with decay and blend at around 11:30 and tone straight up, single coil strat and fairly clean tones. It's there, it fills out the sound, it's lush, but it's not in your face or becoming the focus of the sound.launch

@tonelocrian

I've both of these boxes. The Neunaber is excellent & very studio friendly to me, also a little more subtle than the MXR.\nThe MXR is a simpler design & for most ELECTRIC guitarists playing live, a bit more user friendly. Both sonically excellent. \nThe MXR's last mode is called 'PAD' which is their SHIMMER mode, & like the Immerse, calls out the angels. Note: the only downside to the MXR, is it has NO stereo options ~ where as the IMMERSE has both in's & out's for stereo ;) enjoy.launch

Both are great pedals. It depends on your own taste. I use MXR M300. Every single setting has its own character. Yummy...launch

Several long-term owners say it's the pedal they reach for most or a clear keeper among a larger collection of reverb/echo units, indicating lasting satisfaction beyond initial hype.

@RoswellProAudio

Nice playing! We have five reverb/echo pedals, including two that have multiple reverb programs. The M300 gets more use than any of them. Actually now that I look at the stats, it's the most-used pedal in our video series. I don't pretend to be an expert on pedals, but having tried a bunch of reverb pedals across a bunch of different tracks, I can say the M300 has become the one we reach for first.launch

I have the MXR and it is one of the best pedals that I own. Sounds incredible. The pad setting is insane.launch

Several users note the MXR stays clear and pushes drive pedals harder rather than getting muddy, unlike some competitors that scoop tone. One pairing with a Blues Driver was called one of the best tones heard.

@MintStiles

I think both are nice, but I have a feeling that the Neunaber kind of scoops your tone a bit to get a bit more shimmer in. Perhaps that also explains why the BD-2 couldn't push the sound to drive hard enough like the MXR does. Just a feeling, maybe someone with better ears can chime in (oooo pun). I think the Neunaber for clean and MXR for the dirt - especially with that BD-2W.launch

Immerse was better for clean tones, MXR sounded harsh, but when the OD was cranked, the MXR sounded clearer.launch

Multiple users say it outperforms or matches costlier alternatives like the Neunaber Immerse, TC Hall of Fame and Cathedral, with one calling it best in class at its price point.

@Deeplycloseted435

Sounds a lot better than RV-6, HOF, or Cathedral......probably “best in class” at $200.launch

@Deeplycloseted435

The Immerse sound stage is so much larger.. The MXR sounds really good though, a more useful verb I’d say unless you’re an ambient guy. I’ve listened to a few MXR vs RV6, and for me the MXR is a clear winner. \n\nIts nice that there are such good options at this price point.launch

I'm surprised that the Boss RV-6 never gets a nod. For the price it's unbeatable. I love the Neunaber but the MXR isn't worth the extra $ over the Boss.launch

One detailed comment credits the pedal's 20V internal headroom boost with making a real audible difference and adding to its overall quality, calling it an excellent feature.
