Good reverb pedal for subsequent 37?

[Montfrooij]

I ordered (and tried) the TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2, but I got some weird distortion on long, low sounds.
So now I have to look for an alternative.
Any suggestions?

Here you can hear the distortion:

You want to try this reverb with another source, or even better: try it sending th Moog signal at a lower level.
Quite sure it's a level mismatch problem.

Thanks for the direction!
I will give that a go.
Right now I’m using a VST via Reason and that does not have this resonating sound at all.
Same settings otherwise.

If adjusting your level doesn't do the job, you can try other pedals.
Actually, synths have higher levels than guitars so the usual pedals may be too sensitive to them.
My experience has been quite happy so far; I've been using an EHX Cathedral and a Boss RE-20 amongst others. I've read many times that the Strymon and Eventide work great with synth but they are a bit too clean for me soundwise.

I need to finetune this more, but so far turning down the level did solve most of it.
I just needed to add some gain to my input (on the audio interface) to get a good volume.
I will do some more testing, but so far it seems reasonable.

I guess that is true. The pedal is quite sensitive.
I have turned down the level of the Moog and added a bit of gain to the input (on the audio interface) and it is ok now.
Now I have to find out how to get equal volumes on my presets.
Since some are too low now.

Babysteps.

Hehe

You'll manage it quite easily as -I think- the Ss37 does store the global volume in the program.
I had to rework all the presets used for one of my projects the day I decided to use a certain pedal with a certain synth. I was worthy.
Later on, I programmed the synth in another context and was surprised how loud it could sound!

Balancing your gain stages is crucial, in any situation. You'll certainly learn something useful!

You can store 'a' volume setting.
According to the manual p34

A volume setting can be stored with each preset. The PRESET VOLUME
parameter is located in the PRESET EDIT menu. Learn more about this on page
42. If it is set to OFF the volume remains at whatever value the knob is left at
regardless of which preset is selected.

And on 42 it says :

PRESET VOL (PRESET EDIT MENU 2.5)
This allows you to scale the total volume of each preset individually for level matching loud and soft
patches. The default is 100% with a value range of OFF (0%) to 100%.

So that I should do
