Sounds Amazing, Easy to use (read for extra info)
QrystalWave 16.04.2019
It works perfectly and the build quality is very good.
It leaves the signal untouched and just adds the reverb (nice!)

Usage
Pros
- Easy to use (basically 4 knobs)
- You can get a great sound easy and fast
- It's hard to make the reverb sound bad (very positive)
Cons
- Non

Sound
Pros
- The algorithms of the reverbs sound very good! (It sounds good)
Cons
- The spring doesn't do the drippy sound, but I don't miss it that much

Features
- Decay switch: short or long (use long to hear the reverb more clearly)
- Tone Print is easy to use on your phone (needs cable for pc)
- Can be used for Mono, Mono to Stereo and Stereo

Conclusion
If you need a reverb pedal, this one just sounds good and is easy to use
Hard to go wrong with this one except if you want a drippy spring sound

Excelent option for price point
aokicassio 14.08.2020
What makes you buy a product?
Tc Electronic seems to undestand exactly what I would expect from a reverb pedal in almost every single way. Check it out below:

Pros:
- Easy to tweak. Life could be much more difficult if there was no mode knobs like for most of reverb pedals. Switching between a range of modes makes everything easy.
- Size. It is quite smaller and lighter than other similar products.
- Sounds fantastic, specially for the shimmer mode
- Stereo
- Footprint profiling. I honetly haven't explored yet but that's something that Tc Electronic offers.
- Expression switch which is also very quiet to kick.
- True bypass
- Price point. It's quite cheap for the number of features it offers

Cons:
- Maybe the jacks could be in the upper part rather than on the sides.

Reverb 101
JCS84 25.03.2021
I'm not one of those pedal collectors nor do I rely on reverb. I play mostly heavy genres so most of the time reverb is out of the question, but recently wanted to expand my interests beyond whatever reverb happens to come with the amp.
This pedal is an excellent choice for those that want to use reverb subtly and sparingly, while maintaining some variety. Unlike other, highly regarded reverb pedals, the wet mix comes off as very natural sounding and not extremely modulated or the original tone drastically altered (eg. not much brighter or darker, etc.). The amount of level/effect/etc from the knobs is very usable which allows for subtle increments, but it can get very intense particularly with the Mash function.
A little reverb can sound great in some leads as well as the occasional cleans, but can also work surprisingly well for slower paced heavy stuff if used in moderation. I particularly like the Plate and Hall effects, and find them the most useful with distortion, but the others might also work for a variety of applications. Purists say the Spring emulation on the HoF 2 is subpar, and it might be the case but that's the least of my concerns.
Like other TC Electronic pedals this one has the ability to load Toneprints so the number of reverb types is huge. And just like the rest of TC pedals, this is more of a workhorse and not a highly polished boutique version of one specific effect type. With this in mind, I think this is a fine choice for anyone who wants some basic reverb and doesn't want/need hyper realistic emulation of vintage effects.

Best value for money on the market today
Jackfisher 06.01.2019
The Hall of Fame 2 takes everything TC Electronic did right with the first HOF and makes it better, all the things I loved about the old pedal are still here, but now there is so much more!

This is definitely the reverb pedal for anyone that just needs a reverb pedal, that's it! Nothing fancy, nothing weird like an EQD or OBNE pedal (which are twice as expensive).
This is the reverb pedal for those who just need an easy to use, solid and reliable reverb.

The pedal is true bypass, has some great presets and 3 tone print slots for you to set up just what you want in it, just in case that the existing presets are not your cup of tea or maybe not enough.
If you never had a TC pedal with tone print, then you are in for a treat, because the tone print functionality is one of the greatest innovations in the effects field.

You can customize every aspect of your tone through the tone print software on your computer, just plug in the USB cable and start experimenting on the fly, or better yet, beam settings from your phone through your pickups directly into the pedal using the tone print app for android and ios, and now the app is even better since now you aren't limited to the tone presets on the app anymore because they finally added a tone tweaking feature to it.

Pros:
-Easy to use
-Full of useful features
-3 tone print slots
-Stereo
-True bypass
-Battery operation is possible

Cons:
For the life of me, I couldn't find a single one, this is the best reverb pedal under 100$

In conclusion:
The HOF2 is the best reverb under 100$, and if you are looking for a reverb pedal on a budget, you can stop right here, because you just found it.

Love it.
Sargantanax 06.04.2023
I got his one around 6 months ago and I'm still discovering new sounds.
The spring, plate, hall, church... are what I expected and they do their job nicely.
I enjoy a lot the Mod reverb. Perfect for ambient and not too hard tunes.
But the shimmer reverb is what really shocked me. Ideal for creating ethereal sound landscapes. My imagination flies with it...
I just miss more slots for Toneprint presets (and time in my life for being able to experiment with the editor).

B
Natural Sound & Versatile
Buket 11.03.2021
Pros:
First of all the sound is very natural since it has The Analogue Dry Through feature. The dry signal is sent straight through to the output, without being processed which brings the purity of the natural dry signal.

Secondly, this pedal is capable to have new reverb effects via TonePrint. It has the most popular reverb types like spring, hall, plate, shimmer, church... Additionally there are 3 slots which you can install different reverb effects by using the TonePrint mobile app(no cable is required, just follow the steps appearing on the app).

Thirdly and the most amazing feature is the MASH button. This switch introduces an expression pedal feature as well. To illustrate, in Church reverb, if you press and hold MASH switch, the reverb gets huge as if you are in big cathedral, perfect!

Cons:
none

To sum up, this pedal is a natural sounding one and very versatile. At this price and quality, there is no another option in my humble opinion.

Bought this pedal to use with classical guitar for subtle reverb but it seem to really bring out certain frequencies (overtones) which sounded not great to my ears ( I compared it to a budget Lexicon reverb from the 80’s, lexicon was much more complementing and did not amplify specific frequencies). So I started to use it with my electric but found that it didn’t sit right, it was like the dry guitar sound and the reverb was separate and not “one” sound (like the lexicon would produce). Build and options sound wise are fantastic but pointless if it isn’t musical. It has found a new owner.

No brainer!
TheDodo720 28.02.2020
I've used this product constantly for the past year. It's one of my favourite reverb pedals.

If you want great sounding classic reverbs, this is a good choice. If you like to play ambiental music, this is a no brainer. The shimmers, church reverbs and many more you can get from the app on your phone are amazing! Really makes your playing come alive.

Uploading sounds from your phone into the banks is easy. Download the app, select the reverb you want to upload, turn up your guitar and put your phone speaker against your guitar pickup and it will transfer the sound into the selected bank on the pedal. Simple as that!

The construction is solid and I see this pedal lasting for a long time.

All in all, this pedal does classic reverb great, and ambiental even better. I'm very happy with it.
