Reverb Pedal
This is the reverb I want. I will probably pick one up on EBay. I have a digital reverb built into my solid-state Vox 15R (which is the practice amp I play it at church), but when I use it I pick up a lot of noise from the lighting in the church. I’ve tried just about everything, but it buzzes with ground lifted and with no input plugged in. I can control the buzz with the lights (certain lights off, nice and quiet) or with the effects (either tremolo or reverb causes buzz).
I know that reverb muddies the sound and keeps it from cutting through the mix. I know some people feel it is “dishonest” (but who cares what they think?). I personally love that echo-ey sound of depth, especially when there are other effects in the mix. I like a guitar to sound *big* without being loud.
I plan to buy a reverb pedal in the future. I like to do research for weeks or months before buying, so I’ve been listening to several online demos. The one that gives me the spacious hall sound I like is the EH Holy Grail Nano.
Check out 1:17-1:40 for the “hall” sound.
I am also looking at wah pedals, and am not sure which I want first. This little search may take some time. I’m glad I spent the time on my overdrive and delay pedals.
If a reader has of a reverb that they like better, I’d be happy to hear some comments.
