Members schenkadere Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I just have and I'm not missing it. Anyone else have similar experiences? I can only see the point if you're into surf music. I was just so used to using a splash of reverb that I didn't think I could do without...I just use an always on short delay(longer than slapback/echo)and it works nice for all my applications.

Members weakflesh Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 for the last 6 years or so, 2 drives, 3 delays, 1 trem, Fargen Epic 30 (no nothing but eq, volume and el84s) never missed it at all.... might do something weird now with reverb and a couple more delays... but who knows....

Members Dissentience Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've always owned amps with reverb, I use a little bit for cleans. I probably wouldn't buy a verb pedal if my amp didn't have it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Sarum Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Haven't used reverb in years, and don't miss it. This. If anything I'll set my DMM to it's lowest delay time for a bit of plate reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ermghoti II Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I don't generally use reverb, and prefer not to, if I'm running a rack effector I'll use it on wet cleans. I have three delays on my board, the Carbon Copy is set for a reverb-like wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schenkadere Posted December 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Multiple delays is a nice idea. I'm always trying to find settings that work with everything...why compromise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members freeRadical Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Used to love it when I played by myself a lot. It gets lost in a band mix. Not important anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V-man Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 My main amp has reverb. My new one doesn't. I just got a great deal on a DMM and it does everything I want (and more) on the new amp than the old alone with reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GrooveSkipInc Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Why does this forum seem to believe that reverb = sloppy playing? Poor playing with reverb is still poor playing... It's just an effect like anything else you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ATauO Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 No- I'm a delay and reverb junkie- but its also a big part of my music style... I can make my delays sound like a reverb but for deep wells of sound, a great reveb pedals can't be beat for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor playing with reverb is still poor playing...It's just an effect like anything else you use. Haha, I know reverb doesn't equal sloppy playing. For what I play at least, it make everything sound a lot better and covers up my lack of technique at times. Its no talent boost though, like you said, same as everything else.

Members Sad Darwin Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Haven't used reverb in years, and don't miss it. Depends on the application. If I'm going for trashy, squelchy, garage fuzz reverb is anathema. More "winter-y" sounding songs I still verb it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members celoedus Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 i used the spring on my amps for years, having never felt the need to get any digital reverbs.. and I never really felt I needed to use them (spring or digital). I never felt inspired by them, and they seemed really noisy and mundane. Tried the hardwire RV7 and haven't used those springs again. Those lexicon verbs sound just like the studio versions to me. extreme comp settings + stereo rhythmic delay + modulated reverb at wet 100%, 100% bass tone, 100% decay is just... well... inspiring. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use delays. I concur.I'm playing without reverb for the first time ever, and it sounds boring. I only use a little bit, but it adds SO much to a dry signal.
