I use reverb on my drum machine
it makes the beats seem "in the room"

 

[Phantasmagoria]

I use some 'barely there' reverb for everything most of the time (ie rhythm and leads .I almost never play clean.) preferably from the amp if it has it. Occasionally I use "barely there" delay (in the loop) as well.

I like it for leads and cleans, not for rhythms. Honestly, leads and cleans are like 2% of my playing. So I'm a no reverb guy most of the time.

And quite honestly, I could very well do without reverb on leads and cleans if I have delay. And overal, I prefer delay if I had to choose one.

For rhythm, it just takes away from the tightness and from a rhythm tone sounding up-front and in-your-face.

Reverb is like salt on your food. Easily overdone if you're a klutz, but it has to be there.

 

[beaubrummels]

I use this much reverb, always on. I have two settings, room/short tail and hall/long tail for different tempo songs, e.g. mid-tempo vs ballad (there's a 'tap favorite' built into the pedal to switch between them.)

My Deluxe Reverb is between 5-6 on the dial.

Verby ....

Reverb always on for me. I prefer the Fender spring reverb tones--feel that a little goes a long way. I feel that spring reverb plays best with both clean and driven tones.

If I want a lot of reverb, I will go with a hall style reverb but only use that with cleans (usually for an acoustic doing background playing.)
