Saying I learn something from every show would be an understatement! I don't know how to play yet, but I have become obsessed with collecting and learning. So as much as 50% of the shows can be a learning experience for me. And over the years I have learned things that have piqued my curiosity, made me go "...huh...", made me exclaim "oh wow" and just downright flabbergasted me. But that stereo reverb/dual reverb trick was the first thing to legitimately blow my mind! 🤯
is this video a bit louder than usual? it's perfect, i don't have to turn up the volume anymore! i know this one is going to be a goldmine of mick reaction faces to cheesy reverbs. not disappointed so far
Loved this! Always used amps with internal spring reverbs. Still love that sound. But since I got a reverb pedal with modulated reverb, I find myself using it with both reverb level and decay maxed out. It gives me a pseudo-chorussy effect I really like for ambient rythm. Have you tried using modulated reverb for that type of effect?
@@ThatPedalShow Yeah I see. My name is actually pronounced a different way. (One of the cons of having one of the scandinavian letters in your name) The Å is more like an O. The A sound when americans say the word water would be the most accurate, I think. I just dont want to be called Asmund :p
The "shimmer" is the same reverb sound but up an octave (and hopefully with the harshness taken off with EQ). Like all good things, invented by Brian Eno. He's also responsible for penicillin, long shelf life milk and those wire thingies that help old people thread needles.
I am currently fooling around with separate tones for the repeats of my reverberating echo, and I had not yet considered serious octave play. 🤔 thanks.
currently running a chorus into a phaser into another chorus. Which goes into reverb, then the delay in the effects change. with a UniVibe at the start, too. Bring a towel, my tone is WET!

I think the best example of “turn the reverb off” is the middle of the solo in Pink Floyd’s Money. The massive reverby jam completely dries up into a small, intimate section, then comes back bigger than ever. It’s insanely effective.

"In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought... I must put a roof on this toilet." - Les Dawson
@@tommystratpaul It's a joke from one of Les Dawson's TV shows. I can't remember which one but there are lots of clips on RUclips from his TV shows. Les was a comedian from the north of England. He had a very working class style of homour but was also a great wordsmith and clever bloke. He was famous for "mother-in-law jokes" and playing the piano "badly", but he was so much more too. I was walking down the street and my friend said "that looks like your mother-in-law getting beat up by four thugs, aren't you going to help?" I said "Nah, four should be enough".
I like reverb, but have considered it unusable in live situations. I don't know if it's just me, but that's one of the reasons why I love delay so much. If I step on the reverb, I disappear into the mix (a bit disconcerting the 1st time that happened!!), but delay is like the friend that doesn't let me down... and doesn't step all over my sound!! If you guys could talk about use in a live pop-rock situation (say guitar, drums, bass, keys, and vocals) that would be really great. Cheers.
Agreed. By time you can actually hear it, you’re using too much of it already. The amps reverb is more than sufficient to take the dryness off for most live situations.
Mick: "Your brain is extremely sophisticated in decoding it" ("It" being reverb) Yes! Actually we hear the space more than we hear the source. According to current research sound reaches our ears as a series of disjointed, stuttering flutter echos produced by the space in which a sound is made and is then reinterpreted and recompiled by our brains into the solid sounding waves we perceive as sound proving again that an individuals "reality" is entirely a product of how the mind compiles sensory input to present us with a picture of the world. (Interestingly infant brains cannot do this) In the context of reverb, what we need to know as musicians is that the perception of "source" is made up entirely of "room" making a reverb effect or lack there of an extremely important component of how our carefully crafted tones are received.
This is fascinating. It's a topic among those who study the neurophysiology of how we hear language. "For example, how and when does the brain decide which word is being said?

@@mattgilbert7347 yes! My undergrad is in psychology with a focus in neuropsychology and I'm about to start working on a master's in communication disorders so you're right I'm my wheel house😎👍
Didn’t David Gilmour use the “switch the reverb off in the middle of a solo” trick on Money? The middle part dries right up and veritably spits out of the speakers, adds so much dynamism to the solo.
Mick's noodling kills me sometimes - 20:38 plays some walking blues riff, hits a fat jazz chord, then goes right back like nothing happened. Bravo, but.
The stereo reverb hack blew the arse end out of the universe. My thought immediately went to hacking all my TC pedals to see if time would reverse or black holes would do a Rick and Morty. Updates in the future/past.
It's amazing how popular reverb pedals are now, as when I was younger and doing gymnasiums and and community halls a lot more, the last thing I'd want on my pedal board would be reverb. Nowadays, it's more bars and acoustically treated rooms, so it's okay to have a bit of space around the guitar :-)
You can some great reverb on ECM records - Pat Metheny-John Abercrombie- Kieth Jarret ( Okay it is not rock ) but very nice anyway ! what ever happened to the famous Lexicon reverb's ? very nice show !!!!!
I felt number 9 a couple weeks ago in a session. The artist wanted no reverb and I was like whatttttt!!!???? Ughhh. I couldn’t play at all. Dry guitar is super uninspiring to me but sometimes a song or section calls for dry guitar.
The Topanga reverb sounds good but if you A/B it with a real reverb tank and if you want that surf drip it doesn’t Cut it. Not enough drip. There’s a vid here on RUclips that shows it. If you can buy a used digitech hardwire rv7 that will give you that spring reverb sound you’re wanting.
It took almost 20 years before I realized that the “reverb” sound I loved, was actually multiple delays. Now layering delay and reverb is one of the best ways for me to create the ambient textures I wanted
@@juanrubiogarciandia6597 I like running delays into reverb so the delay triggers the reverb each repeat, and with a tape delay or modulate setting on a boss dd20, the different sound of the delay repeat gives you some beautiful textures, hope that helps!
My “swell” sound is usually a warmer quarter delay, into a relatively bright dotted eighth delay, into a spring reverb, into a an octave or shimmer verb.
Juan Rubio Garciandía also my solo sound usually has an immediate slap back with a single repeat, into a warmer 16th not with long trails, into a hall reverb
Always have a quick, wet reverb before dirt. Changes everything. Think compressors: sounds good, but also feels good to play - same with that reverb trick.
35:10 Have you seen the RUclipsr KMac? He did a very funny video that went viral about "the feeling of a wrong note with delay." Worth searching up and watching. (He's also a brilliant guitarist, if you're into the metal side of things...)
the Boss Rv-500 lets you do all of this, including the series-parallel routing, sending different delays to different outputs or running them mono, plus it has built-in delay (including an algorithm for the space echo delay and reverb unit) that can be added in and can be turned on and off with the tap/ctrl button. I know menus are scary but I think you guys would really enjoy some of the features available if you dug into a little deeper. If I can do it so you. The Rv-500 with a tube screamer and fuzz can do just about everything you need for a grab and go board.
Some of my chant friends in Capella Romana released an album of Byzantine chant that has the reverb of Hagia Sophia recreated in the mix. (Currently the best classical album btw.) And my first thought was “Can I get it as a tone print?”
I'm much more connected to delay, as opposed to reverb. But when I turn off the delay, and just play through my Blue Sky reverb, I really love some of those sounds, and it makes me play slightly differently. I think that's why we're all (here) so nuts for new pedals. We're always looking for something new to connect with as a player, to keep things fresh and stimulate our playing. Very nice primer guys!
Here's my issue: I play metal and own a big sky, and can't for the life of me work out how to adjust the big sky parameters to suit heavy guitar. I realise alot of the fast passages will benefit from being dry, but I want to use the reverb for melodic passages and solos, but find the big sky presets useless as they colour the sound too much and or get in the way. I appreciate the pre decay feature helps get the verb out of the way of the attack, but I'm still struggling. Have you got any tips on how to make reverb more useable for heavy tones? Specifically eq settings or decay settings. I feel like reverb pedals like a boss rv-6 has all the work already done and stays out of the way very well, but I'm not sure what to do to with my big sky.
OOH! You've got the Mesa out! Number 2 in a way had me laughing a bit, because my first reverb pedal back in the early 1990s was a Boss RV-2 Digital Reverb, and as you might remember, the frequency response of the reverb on that pedal only went to 10 KHz. I've never really tried to make my reverb dark on purpose, but you can be sure that the next time I fire up my rig, I'm going to experiment with that sound on my tc electronic Arena (Guitar Center special version of the Hall of Fame). As for Number 5, I always ran my RV-2 (either in Hall or Plate modes) into the Accutronics long-tank spring reverb and detune stereo chorus of my Ampeg VH-140C combo. What a glorious sound that was! Also, on Number 10, when Mick mentioned adding ping-pong delay to stereo reverb, the RV-2 had that built-in as one of its modes.
I have more reverb/delays on my pedalboard than any other type of effect. I’m noticing as I get older that I care less about crazy amounts of distortion and more about time-based fx. I must be getting into the dadcore music 😂 Also, why does plate reverb play so well with other reverbs? Cascading plate into another reverb sounds sooo lush.
Love love love my Keeley Caverns reverb. Even makes my terrible playing sound reasonably nice (so in the hands of someone half way competent would sound like heaven).
Going to try that hack with my HOF2! Speaking of hacks, when reverbs were still rare on pedalboards, I plugged an Alesis Nanoverb into an Xotic X-Blender and used that as my "reverb pedal." The Alesis normally does not have the headroom to run it as a guitar pedal, but the X-blender took care of that, as well as giving me a second "wet signal only" switch. I used one ofthe plate settings, and even after getting the Strymon Blue Sky, and the HOF2, it's still my favorite reverb sound (though I need to explore the HOF2 a little bit more).
??Do you guys have any insight into or opinions on the reverb channel in some amps changing the tone. I have experienced this on many of the Fender 65 reissues, most recently my twin, but others as well. These amps seem to loose some mid range and punch on the reverb/vibrato channel even with the reverb and vibrato switched off and no amount of eq adjustment seems to bring it back. I assume it is the result of the extra circuitry required in the audio path to create these effects. Have you experienced this with these or other amps? Are you aware of any workarounds or fixes? I absolutely love a fender spring reverb but almost never use that channel because of this. Thanks!
Yep. The reverb has its own valve to send and recover the signal. Which means another gain stage of sorts. I notice it in Fenders and also the Victory amps that have valve reverbs and trem. They’re softer, less headroom, different dynamic. Mick here. It’s why some people don’t like Dr Z amps with reverb, among many, many others. Me, I like it. :0)
Empress ZOIA can do that series/parallel trick, on steroids... HoF hack was cool but I didn't actually like the doubling down much! I'm sure there's other settings where that much reverb makes things better...
My favorite lots-o-reverb tone is Jeff Beck. He just has the sound engineer kick on a stereo Lexicon hall/plate for some songs and it just sounds glorious.
Cheers Mick & Dan. Non reverb question for you. How are you securing the StroboStomp HD to the board? Every adhesive I’ve tried does not stick to the bottom of the pedal for more than an hour. Very much appreciate how you two present everything and the high production value.
This one will be Mick’s nightmare because it’s a bit of a tweaker’s pedal, but my favorite reverb pedal is the Industrualectric RM-1N, which is a beautiful reverb that can self oscillate and a preamp that can get wildly fuzzy. Can also be set quite tastefully. That being said, I would almost always rather just have a delay on my board than a reverb, for the sake of clarity.
That stereo hack is delightful. I had to try it. I discovered with my Immerse Mk II that if I had the input on one side and the output on the other side of the stereo (they're marked 1 and 2 on the pedal), that I still got a signal. It sounded like a dry kill, with just the tails, but fatter than with the dry signal mixed out. Another surprise. Thanks!
I’ve never loved reverb pedals until I got my Walrus Fathom. It’s just great when used tastefully, just a taste of the plate setting. Fender Amp spring reverb of course sounds amazing.
I love this show more than anything on the internet, and I consume a lot of audio podcast (20hrs a week I would imagine). Keep it up, love from Australia
One of the best purest reverb pedals I have found for the money, getting the most for your dollars spent, is a TRex Tube Reverb, it sounds fantastic, especially when plugged into a Fender 1957 Custom Shop Reissue Twin Amp with 2 X 12 inch speakers. I can truly understand why Eric Clapton chooses that amp for his favorite.
@@ThatPedalShow Maybe you can do a quirky guitar episode and how to make them work with pedals and amps. Well at least your ideas, to inspire the watcher:)
I have a HoF reverb on my board which is almost always set to custom toneprint for the ducking envelope. Quite useful as it lets you have a long reverb that rings out on chords, but without it getting all muddy when you play lines. You have to go into the companion app to access it though.
The Boss '63 Fender Reverb pedal has a real spring inside of it, next to the battery compartment.

OOH! You've got the Mesa out! Number 2 in a way had me laughing a bit, because my first reverb pedal back in the early 1990s was a Boss RV-2 Digital Reverb, and as you might remember, the frequency response of the reverb on that pedal only went to 10 KHz. I've never really tried to make my reverb dark on purpose, but you can be sure that the next time I fire up my rig, I'm going to experiment with that sound on my tc electronic Arena (Guitar Center special version of the Hall of Fame). As for Number 5, I always ran my RV-2 (either in Hall or Plate modes) into the Accutronics long-tank spring reverb and detune stereo chorus of my Ampeg VH-140C combo. What a glorious sound that was!
Also, on Number 10, when Mick mentioned adding ping-pong delay to stereo reverb, the RV-2 had that built-in as one of its modes.
What ever happened to ECHO?? Did that become DELAY or REVERB? Or was that actually it's own thing? And why no ECHO anymore?? 🎶🎸
Echo is delay.
I have more reverb/delays on my pedalboard than any other type of effect. I’m noticing as I get older that I care less about crazy amounts of distortion and more about time-based fx. I must be getting into the dadcore music 😂
Also, why does plate reverb play so well with other reverbs? Cascading plate into another reverb sounds sooo lush.
The Reverb-Albert connection is probably a Albert Hall Reverb... :'D
Love love love my Keeley Caverns reverb. Even makes my terrible playing sound reasonably nice (so in the hands of someone half way competent would sound like heaven).
lol i thought my reverb was gonna go to work for me while i stay at home at my studio... what a misleading video!!!
You NEED to do a show on surf and spaghetti western sounds!
Going to try that hack with my HOF2! Speaking of hacks, when reverbs were still rare on pedalboards, I plugged an Alesis Nanoverb into an Xotic X-Blender and used that as my "reverb pedal." The Alesis normally does not have the headroom to run it as a guitar pedal, but the X-blender took care of that, as well as giving me a second "wet signal only" switch. I used one ofthe plate settings, and even after getting the Strymon Blue Sky, and the HOF2, it's still my favorite reverb sound (though I need to explore the HOF2 a little bit more).
??Do you guys have any insight into or opinions on the reverb channel in some amps changing the tone. I have experienced this on many of the Fender 65 reissues, most recently my twin, but others as well. These amps seem to loose some mid range and punch on the reverb/vibrato channel even with the reverb and vibrato switched off and no amount of eq adjustment seems to bring it back. I assume it is the result of the extra circuitry required in the audio path to create these effects. Have you experienced this with these or other amps? Are you aware of any workarounds or fixes? I absolutely love a fender spring reverb but almost never use that channel because of this. Thanks!
Yep. The reverb has its own valve to send and recover the signal. Which means another gain stage of sorts. I notice it in Fenders and also the Victory amps that have valve reverbs and trem. They’re softer, less headroom, different dynamic. Mick here. It’s why some people don’t like Dr Z amps with reverb, among many, many others. Me, I like it. :0)
I told mine to get a job and to start paying rent.
Empress ZOIA can do that series/parallel trick, on steroids... HoF hack was cool but I didn't actually like the doubling down much! I'm sure there's other settings where that much reverb makes things better...
Every time Mick goes for a new guitar I say in my head "go for the 61, go for the 61!"
Mick: this video would be 8 hours long
All of us: YES!
Loved this episode. I just swapped my Hall of Fame 2 for a GFI Specular Reverb v3. Some epic tones from that pedal !!
1:00 Mick turned into a goldfish
I love Reverb!! It could be because I'm not a great player
Helps me hide my flaws
This was a great episode
Thank you D&M
Holy Crap! SWEET chords!
My favorite lots-o-reverb tone is Jeff Beck. He just has the sound engineer kick on a stereo Lexicon hall/plate for some songs and it just sounds glorious.
Cheers Mick & Dan. Non reverb question for you. How are you securing the StroboStomp HD to the board? Every adhesive I’ve tried does not stick to the bottom of the pedal for more than an hour. Very much appreciate how you two present everything and the high production value.
We pulled the rubber bottom off and stuck PB tape (3M Dual Lock) straight to the bottom..... Cheers Kenneth, thank you for the kind words!
I think it's important not to drown your sound in reverb. Keep that mix/vol knob fairly low and the universe is your ethereal oyster
Depends what your doing. Sometimes drowning is exactly what you want!
That Pedal Show Well that’s true! But if you have two fuzz pedals and a phaser going it... actually might have to try that
Love the volume swells! Sounds fantastic! Thanks guys.
This one will be Mick’s nightmare because it’s a bit of a tweaker’s pedal, but my favorite reverb pedal is the Industrualectric RM-1N, which is a beautiful reverb that can self oscillate and a preamp that can get wildly fuzzy. Can also be set quite tastefully.
That being said, I would almost always rather just have a delay on my board than a reverb, for the sake of clarity.
"Pencils. Great for writing."
I actually laughed out loud :-)
Really liked the Catalinbread Topanga on this video, can see me buying one soon!
Also try 100%wet reverb before drives!
That stereo hack is delightful. I had to try it. I discovered with my Immerse Mk II that if I had the input on one side and the output on the other side of the stereo (they're marked 1 and 2 on the pedal), that I still got a signal. It sounded like a dry kill, with just the tails, but fatter than with the dry signal mixed out. Another surprise. Thanks!
I’ve never loved reverb pedals until I got my Walrus Fathom. It’s just great when used tastefully, just a taste of the plate setting. Fender Amp spring reverb of course sounds amazing.
Reverb is to guitar what salt is to a steak.
I love this show more than anything on the internet, and I consume a lot of audio podcast (20hrs a week I would imagine). Keep it up, love from Australia
One of the best purest reverb pedals I have found for the money, getting the most for your dollars spent, is a TRex Tube Reverb, it sounds fantastic, especially when plugged into a Fender 1957 Custom Shop Reissue Twin Amp with 2 X 12 inch speakers. I can truly understand why Eric Clapton chooses that amp for his favorite.
We love that one too.
Seems like Mick likes the Jazzmaster. Am I right?
I really do. Puts me in a very different place mentally. That’s a good thing!
@@ThatPedalShow Maybe you can do a quirky guitar episode and how to make them work with pedals and amps. Well at least your ideas, to inspire the watcher:)
The best sounding spring reverb pedal I’ve ever heard is the hardwire rv7. It really sounds just like a spring reverb tank.
I see rv-6 Im intrigued Ive had that pedal for years :)
I have had the HOF 2 on my board for several years. Versatile for sure. But the Topanga sounds so freakin' good. Hmmm...
I have a HoF reverb on my board which is almost always set to custom toneprint for the ducking envelope. Quite useful as it lets you have a long reverb that rings out on chords, but without it getting all muddy when you play lines. You have to go into the companion app to access it though.
Great show as always!!! Could you touch on combining reverb and delay? Thanks!
That’s coming up soon :)
Hi there
I used to have a Marshall Super Lead with reverb back in the 80's
Woah. I wasn’t aware anything had reverb until the 800s. I’m obviously misinformed!
I don't like change, it scares me.......
but the intro when it's a "10 Things" is cool.
