Reverb or delay? Or both? I have been reading that some people dislike reverb and use delay in place of reverb. Where do you guys personally stand for your needs? Clean and dirt applications...

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I like a little bit of both. I have a Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master that has both and you can mix them to varying levels. I set them fairly low, just enough to be noticed but not enough to be overwhelming. At least with this pedal, they both sound great together.

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
If I can I use both. But if I had to chose just one ill go with verb over delay. Yes you can get a subtle type of reverb with a slap back type of delay but i'm the type of person that when I use verb it's all or nothing and when I hit that switch everyone in the room will know.Originally posted by KBlissWELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I use them both, but usually for different styles of music, so rarely together. Reverb for blues, surf, or jazz. Delay for space or '80s.

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I used both a lot with my last project, but kind of got bored with reverb. I'm more of a delay guy, but I try to be subtle with it.- Gibson CS ES339 - Gibson Les Paul Trad - Gibson J-200 Standard - Fender Hwy1 Strat - Gibson Captain Kirk Douglas SG - Takamine E-series Acoustic - Fender Blues Deluxe - Fender Excelsior -

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I use delay only. But I have a gigging amp with a nice spring reverb now and on clean stuff I may use it. For dirt, I doubt anyone can hear it live unless you are the only guitar._________________

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I use them both where they're appropriate for the song. Could be one, the other, both, or neither. Whatever sounds right to me.Originally posted by Rockstar216Musician thinking - nice strat, looks like a 62, that Marshall JCM 800 sounds great, the lead guitarist could use a bit less treble

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I prefer reverb. I had a delay pedal I hadn't used for months, so I just sold it. It was a digital delay - very clean and all, but I found it kind of uninteresting. I wouldn't mind having a nice delay with a little modulation going on at the same time though - like the Earthquaker Devices Disaster Transport - which has a touch of vibrato you can mix with the delay. I'd probably use that instead of reverb, and I wouldn't replace the reverb on my existing boards, but I'd build a new small board with it on it. I have a 'verb on two boards that I dedicate to different guitars, and no reverb or delay on a third board, which has an H&K Tube Rotosphere that gives me plenty of "space". Whether it's reverb, or delay, or something like the Rotosphere, I like some kind of modulation or time based pedal at the end of the chain to thicken up the sound a bit and provide some added dimension.Last edited by mrpinter; 02-01-2014, 04:37 AM.

Re: Reverb or Delay? Or Both?
I like them both.
I ALWAYS (almost) play with reverb. I use very little generally. ~ 3 on the klnob or less.
I really like delay. I generally use it with reverb. See above.
Sometimes, but not often, I want Delay without Reverb.
Live:
I generally prefer ONLY delay - as there is reverb naturally. Room verb + verb = yuck.
Live EXCEPTION:
Outdoors - there is no reverb. See above on amount of reverb.
Clean - I generally use a little more reverb. I use less delay - shorter and lower levels. I might use more repeats.
Dirty - I generally use less reverb. I use more delay - longer and higher levels. Often less repeats, but it could vary.Originally posted by Bad City
