Reverb via expression pedal

[benjaturner]

Anyone know of a way I can control the amount of reverb via an expression pedal?

I've looked around but I can't find any pedals that have a feature like this or anything similiar.

Any tips?

You could take a reverb pedal, or amp with reverb, and if it had something like a depth or amount knob, wire that to a jack instead of to a potentiometer, and then run a volume pedal or expression pedal to that.

i was thinking...let's say you put your reverb knob at 10-this means that you have pretty much all the reverb that the circuit can have. You then get an expression or volume pedal that uses a volume pot and wire it so that you can plug it into the reverb on/off switcher.

I'm pretty sure that you can regulate the amount of reverb by altering the resistance in the circuit using the expression pedal while the amp's reverb is at 10....a quick fix.

digitech came out with a reverb pedal in the mid 90s with an expression pedal- a 'reverberator' i think it was called...

Cool. I definately look into that reverberator thing. Three great suggestions. Thanks

I think this would probably work the best, in fact I'm going to try it out. Be sure to use shielded guitar cable, not some of the unshielded stuff that is often used for amp footswitches.
