  • Learning how to use reverb on guitar can be a daunting task, there are so many different kinds of reverb sounds out there, and even knowing where to put the reverb in your signal chain can confuse some players. In today's video Ill show you how I use my reverb pedals, and what I think about when Im dialing in my reverb tones.

    Reverb is by far my favorite effect. No matter how subtle it is it still makes a difference. You may not even be able to tell when it's on but you can always tell when it's off 😁

      I had to practically beg the guitarist in an old band to just use a little bit of reverb on his completely dry, cranked fender super reverb. The attack of the pick felt like an icepick directly in the eardrum.

      My reverb taste is very polarized. Either I have just enough for a bit of texture (or non at all) or I have it outrageously present. I used to find it unnecessary (a lot of the time I still do), but now I see value in it. Nothing beats natural reverb of a venue, but some occasional layers to the guitar do add something.

    @erikr968 Před 3 lety +12

    Finally someone who understands that to demo reverb, you need to use a lot of percussive tones and chords, and that the reverb level needs to be turned up a bit. I've seen so many reverb demos where you can barely hear the reverb, because of only playing sustained notes and/or using not enough reverb level.
    Great demo and descriptions!

    By the way. The sound quality you've achieved in this Video demonstration is excellent. You've surrounded yourself with first class gear & you have learned to use it extremely well. Considering this is being transmitted Via CZcams, I find it very refreshing!

I know someone else also made that comment, but seriously I think you’d find massive success with it. Reverb is my favorite effect hands down. I stack reverbs on top each other, but like you said in an effective way. I love great guitar sounds soaked in Reverb when it’s done right, and isn’t too overwhelming.

      When I got my first solid state amp in the 90s I used to play at home with the reverb basically dimed. After I started playing with people I realized you don’t need as much. Usually keep it around 2 or 3 on my Princeton Reverb which some would say is a lot of reverb. But I always have a little bit on. Really dig the UA pedal and the Capital records preset.

    @mschroeckenfuchs Před 3 lety +1

    Great video once again! Reverb's one of the tough effects to implement elegantly for sure. I've got the Black Country Customs Secret Path Verb and run it (spring mode mostly) into the front of my amps as last pedal on the board. Recently put the trem after it for the first time which made me love the verb all the more (for surf stuff especially). Now the trem comes after the delay as well though because delay needs to be before verb, which means can't really use delay and trem together any more except for maybe a slap back....aaaargh it never ends!

Previously, I barely used any 'verb at all (just a touch to give the tone some air) and so I've been struggling not to go too far the other way with the ambient stuff I'm doing.
