T-Rex has reintroduced its tube-driven Room-Mate reverb pedal as the RoomMate D'Luxe, the company's third generation of the design. The maker lists the pedal at $299 and says it is designed and hand-built in Denmark¹. Guitar.com reported the price as $299 in a review published on September 25, 2026².

The D'Luxe doubles the number of reverb modes from four to eight. Guitar.com lists long and short springs, a plate, two rooms and two halls, plus a hall with octave-up shimmer that replaces the original's reverb-plus-chorus sound². T-Rex describes the spring mode as having "that true vintage character, just like the old amps with real spring tanks"¹.

A new knob marked "optional" changes function by mode. According to Guitar.com, it controls low-end damping for the two spring effects, adds a pre-delay in the next five modes, and sets the octave level in shimmer mode². The other controls are decay time, reverb level, master volume, tone and input gain². An expression pedal input controls the shimmer effect¹; Guitar.com notes it cannot be used for anything else².

Guitar.com reports stereo inputs and outputs, a JJ ECC83S preamp valve, and an enclosure that has changed from white to blue². T-Rex gives the following specifications¹:

Guitar.com's reviewer, Richard Purvis, rated the pedal 9 out of 10 and praised its eight reverbs, valve-driven preamp and stereo ins and outs, while listing the shimmer-only expression control and the absence of a trails option as drawbacks². T-Rex frames the design around its tube:
