How To Use A Reverb Pedal - Best Guitar Equipment HowTo Corner

Reverb pedals are an essential part of the electric guitarist's sound. They provide depth and space to your tone, giving you a wider, more ethereal sound than distortion or compression can. This article will show you how to use a reverb pedal so that you can take your guitar playing to the next level.

Types of Reverb Pedals

If you've ever played with an electric guitar, you know how important reverb is. Reverb helps make your sound bigger, more open, and sounds like it's coming from a different place. By using different types of reverb pedals, you can change the tone of your guitar.

Spring Reverb: A spring reverb is the most common type of reverb pedal. It's very easy to use; simply plug the cable into the input jack on the side of the pedal and then plug it into your amplifier or PA system. You'll hear a small spring-like noise as your signal passes through the springs. The springs will also vibrate slightly when there's no signal passing through them.

Plate Reverb: Plate reverbs are more popular than spring reverbs because they produce an even amount of reverberation for all frequencies that pass through them—including low frequency notes that usually don't come back at all with other reverb pedals. They're also easier to adjust than spring reverbs because they have knobs for controlling just about everything on them, including frequency response, decay time, feedback control, and phantom power (for powering multiple pedals).

How to Use a Spring Reverb Pedal

The spring reverb is one of the most popular types of pedals in the world. This type of pedal allows you to create a sound that's similar to that of an old-style studio signal chain.

Spring reverb pedals usually have three knobs—one knob controls your tone, another your level, and the last controls the amount of reverberation. The tone knob is used to change your tone from bright to dark or vice versa, depending on your preference. The level knob controls how loud the signal is when it leaves the pedal. Turn this up higher if you want more volume and turn it down if you want more subtlety. The amount knob adjusts how much effect (reverberation) there is on your signal as it passes through the pedal.

How to Use a Plate Reverb Pedal

A plate reverb pedal is one of the most popular types of reverb pedals, and it provides a natural sound to your guitar.

The plate reverb allows for a certain amount of sustain in the signal, but with less distortion than other effects. This gives you an organic-sounding tone that's perfect for electric guitar playing. To use this type of reverb pedal, plug it into your guitar and push the 'on' button. Adjust the footswitch to turn the effect on and off as needed.

How to Use a Digital Reverb Pedal

Using a digital reverb pedal is easy. You'll need to connect it to your amp or mixer, and then choose the type of reverb you want from the pedal's configuration screen.

One of the biggest benefits of using a digital reverb pedal is that it provides versatility in settings and size. Digital reverbs offer control over tone, mix, and volume so that you can get exactly what you want out of your sound.

There are two main types of digital reverbs: multi-tap delay and convolution reverb. These types of digital reverbs assign specific echoes to different frequencies. A multi-tap delay assigns echoes based on how many times the note repeats itself in time while a convolution reverb takes a short signal and creates an echo from that instead.
