Re: Reverb vs Delay

I use delay for medal tones so it makes it seem like I'm playing faster than I actually am lol

Re: Reverb vs Delay

Still experimenting personally... slight reverb- but like the delay... what is a good delay for fattening the sound without the 'nasial' sound of the digitals and programing BS? ~~ But can go deep enough for Lucy in the Sky type and you can Stack with other pedals???... (Yeah I'm old), but not that damn almost tremolo surf sound...and CLEAN- NO HISS or tapping/clicking sound when you put it with your over drive while its sitting there? Just a good basic one??? Anyone? I'm using HBs: JB/SL solid body....

Touch of reverb and two different delay's as needed.

Re: Reverb vs Delay

I only play in my shop these days. Love a lot of reverb. Alway have. Having some slapback delay fun since I built the Tele. But, I'm way more a reverb guy.

Re: Reverb vs Delay

Minimal reverb most of the time (1.5, ~2.5 max) for rhythm.

I like the same reverb with mild to medium delay for most leads. The only time I'll use more is for acoustic guitar if needed for mood. It's important for me to be able to hear the technique of the player, which means individual notes and nuances. So I wouldn't use any effect that makes everyone sound the same...

Re: Reverb vs Delay

I usually play a dry signal, with exception of a bit of delay for leads, or if I'm putting something in the very back of the mix so that part sounds like it is a thousand miles away. Otherwise everything is dry: Bass, drums, guitars, vocals, etc, but I add a splash of reverb to the entire mix so that the reverb levels between tracks are all the same, with the exception of parts with a bit of delay on them, which sound even farther away. If you add enough reverb, it can give a cool Defenders of the Faith sound.
