Reverb Or Delay?

Re: Reverb Or Delay?

Reverb for me. NOT echo though. They are different.
The trick when using reverb with high gain is to have the mix level and decay set appropriately. Set them just right and you avoid losing tonal clarity and only add dimension and ambiance to your sound.
Some reverb pedals struggle with this, so sometimes you just need to find the one that works best with your setup.

Re: Reverb Or Delay?

I use both on almost all the time. I have a short spring reverb from my amp and use a longer Strymon Bluesky modulated reverb when playing atmospheric styles (which is my main style). Then on top of that I use the very handy Flashback X4 which allows me to click between 3 presets. My short delay preset is also on almost constantly. If I had to choose one it would definetely be the reverb though! I don't really like the sound of delay on its own with absolutely no reverb, but reverb on its own sounds heavenly. Tone is very personal though!

I use both but I tend to use Delay more.

Only problem with the V1 was that the controls were crammed together and it had those small, knurled pot shafts. Not really a problem if you stick with settings that you like. The V2 pots are pretty cramped as well but the knobs are full size.

I don't own either. I just have an Earthquaker Dispatch Master . Only a single footswitch so it's either reverb or delay or a mix. Or, knob fiddling.

V2 inbound as of today!

I have some light reverb on 99% of the time to create depth, that said, if I could only have one pedal it would be delay. As mentioned, there are some nice 2 in 1 pedals out there.

Hmm a nice spacy echo/delay is nice!

I think I want an old Roland Space Echo!

Re: Reverb Or Delay?

I wanted a real simple and cheap reverb so I have this one incoming.
Every clip I heard seemed to show that is has just the right amount of mix, which is fixed.
The dial simply adjusts the length of reverb trail.

Let us know how that one sounds when it comes in!

Re: Reverb Or Delay?

I'm loving these little one-knob pedals recently. When they sound good there's honestly nothing better. Simplicity and take up no space. Especially for effects that dont need much altering (for me, chorus, on or off). Let us know!

I use the dispatch master, has cavernous-huge-spacious-ambient verb, and delay digital, not pristine clean delay but a little "warmth", very musical. At low settings it'll do slapback and dotted eighth stuff nicely but is very touchy with the time knob, but it has almost infinite repeats on tap. Low reverb settings have a big room sound, higher settings are not unlike being at the other end of a cathedral from your amp, or you can actually dial the reverb tone to a darker or brighter tone but it's a long decay. It does not surf or sound like a plate, it is a little over the top on the reverb indeed, but I really like it. Looks cool, not too expensive. Quiet switch, bright LED. No noise in my loop but slight hiss in front of the amp. I use it in the loop, and I have my amp's spring verb available as well.
