I use most verb pre-dirt, but shout out to Digitech Digiverb gated mode after the MXR Distortion+. Holy hell does it sound magical. There's nothing like it.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
For a while I used to keep it plugged into the fx loop of the preamp I use as a DI box for home recording set fairly subtle-y. I kind of thought of it as the fake room/ambience to glue stuff together when it was all going direct into the computer.K2000 wrote:The Ghost Echo sounds great after dirt, IMO.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
I used it subtly too. It sort of smoothed out the spaces (gaps) between chords, and it made my carpeted practice space seem like a more lively room. And my dirt pedal still sounded like it was supposed to, and dirt didn't make the reverb sound bad.

Also good for Cramps type wetness.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
Anyone here eyeing the EHX OCeans 12? read the manual yesterday and it's really packed of features. Beside the series/parallel operation of the two reverbs there are also some cool routing options for stereo setups like merge or split the two different reverbs on L/R and a dedicated knob (tide) to pan the stereo output.
https://www.ehx.com/products/oceans-12/instructions
I don't like the looks and i don't need it at all, a lot of features are based on the "press-this-and-turn-that" system, which is not a thing i personally like (beside the secondary knob functions - which are marked underneath the knobs - there are also 2 or 3 effects for each mode, plus 2 dedicated mini-knobs), but it might be interesting for someone looking for a wide and tweakable reverb at a lower price-tag than the usual Strymon/Eventide/etc.. curious to hear how the algorithms sounds. The Resonant Mode should be ideal for drones.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
Hadn't heard of it. Like you, not convinced on the controls, but the feature set is fantastic!! Not something I need but worth keeping in mind if they ever turn cheap. 
I got the Pladask Draume recently and I've been weighing it up against the RM-1N haha. It has a much wider range but the RM just does this one thing really well and I sort of want to keep it even though that wasn't the original plan...

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
there just seems to be no reason not to own a digiverb. I mean I have the eventide box, el capistan, rv-3, and timebender all of which do very different, and very nice reverbs. The only reverb pedals I really consider buying semi-frequently are the digiverb and that zoom multi-box thingVREEEEVROOOOOW wrote:I use most verb pre-dirt, but shout out to Digitech Digiverb gated mode after the MXR Distortion+.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
I had not seen that previously, but that looks seriously quite dope. I had the cathedral for a long time and I really liked it. Several of those algorithms look quite exciting I gotta say. I'd love to hear some opinions on it.Dowi wrote:Anyone here eyeing the EHX OCeans 12? read the manual yesterday and it's really packed of features.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
Can I have second dibs? 
Miss having a RM-1n in my life. Built DBA Reverb Machine-cline, but it doesn't fill the gap.

I think some demos should drop in a few days now that the orders are open, the only "decent" one i found yesterday displaying the different modes is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxDaw6fpDtA.

A FX-loop for reverb is pretty damn dope. And the thing does sound very good I must admit

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
Best kind of trouble, put them on the drum bus or stereo bus when recording/mixing.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
That would sound great! It's a great pedal on drum machines, should re-amp some drum drums through it.

Re: What's your favorite reverb pedal?
What is a good option for a basic spring/hall reverb these days? I could do with something small that would be almost always on. I've used a Digitech Supernatural in that way for a few years but it's a bit bulky.
