Here comes the question again in 2020: Shimmer reverb effect with Kemper?

Hi Team: I see some maybe outdated posts about it:

-Are there effects, presets that will help me get the ¨big Sky¨ kind of shimmer reverb effect, that has octave above and remains for long time, with adjustable mix of effect vs dry signal?

I know this sound a bit too much to ask but I have spent some time fumbling around with reverb settings and Crystal Delay but I cannot get it right. Any recommendations?

As alternative, I own a cheap TC Electronics Hall of Fame 2 which I bought for this purpose. It is however harsh sounding and, correct me if I am wrong, Kemper profiles are not designed to receive pedals up front thru the main input.

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Why don't you put the TC in the effects loop and place the loop in the X slot? Then the reverb will be in stereo.

I'd be more inclined to use the Formant or Ionosphere engines than the crystal delay to get that sort of sound.

Thanks for both of this recommendations!

My Kemper is packed away for a house move, so I can't give you preset names but I have easily found presets for shimmer style effects. I'm certain the sound you want is in the box, probably in the delays.
