@adammindykowski6984 3 года назад

I use pad reverbs more than any other type in my ambient music, but there is something really compelling about a nice drippy spring reverb. I think because I listen to a lot of reggae and dub, and springs are all over that! I use a hall type verb with a short decay in the electro-acoustic band that I also play in, and that really suits the bright, woody resonance of the acoustic guitar. That Source Audio spring reverb is really nice Bill.

@chordsoforion 3 года назад

Adam: sounds like you have a reverb direction that works in the band, and agreed - the True Spring is an excellent choice for focusing on spring type reverbs.

I got the Big Sky in 2015. You can get springy stuff and use it for studio applications too. I'm kind of sad that I'm not looking at reverb units anymore. That Chase Bliss audio with automated faders is amazing but much more money than the Strymon.

@illegal_space_alien 3 года назад

Thank you for the vid, Bill! I want to get an Immerse Mk2 at some point, but I see you keep going back to the Mk1. I wonder if one day you might please do a shootout of the two of them? I really want w3t, but can be swayed. As far as the vid subject, spring makes me think of surf rock, plate makes me think of George Thorogood, and hall makes me think of Enya. Not bad company.

@chordsoforion 3 года назад

Both Immerse's are great. If you need a full wet mix, the Mk II is the way to go. I do though have a soft spot in my heart for the MK I hall reverb type. It does seem just a bit different from the MK II.Unfortunately, I can't do a shootout, as I gave away the MK II last year when my album "Rumination" released.

@illegal_space_alien 3 года назад

@@chordsoforion Fair enough. Thank you for the response!

@Jason75913 2 года назад

@@illegal_space_alien The MkII tends to sound a bit better overall, and sometimes a bit different rather than better. I had both in the past, and got rid of them. I kept running into weird quirks with the two pedals, and the stepped reverb decay when the tails are longer was a deal-breaker for me. If you want to try them yourself, maybe consider used pedals? The only similarly priced reverb pedal I've got that I love and keep is my EHX Cathedral. I think the Oceans 12 is also close to the Immerse's price, also in my collection. My favorites are my RV500 and Specular Tempus.

@That52TeleGuy 3 года назад

Great reverb demo. Curious about the reverse neck you are using; do you notice the extra length bass strings in sound?

@chordsoforion 3 года назад

No I don't. I was concerned at the start, but there's no issue for me.

@Gainn 3 года назад

The Immerse is such a good pedal. (Even though I think the WET v1 algorithm is slightly better)

@SakariKempas 3 года назад

I rarely go back from having clean sound with the combination of a delay into Immerse MKII with the W3T setting. So good.

@eyeball226 3 года назад

I think it's important to make a distinction between real plate reverbs (as well as modern emulations of them) and early digital reverb "plate" settings (which are kind of their own thing). When you associate plate reverb with the 80s, it's actually early digital reverb you're thinking of. Real plate reverb sounds are more of a 60s/70s studio thing.

@chordsoforion 3 года назад

I agree that the 80s were when digital plate sounds started becoming available. But real plate reverbs were still in common use at that point. I know this because I recorded in 2 studios with plate reverbs from 1983 - 1987. They sounded fantastic.

@eyeball226 3 года назад

@@chordsoforion I didn't mean to suggest that real plate reverbs disappeared overnight. I just meant that Lexicon style digital plate reverb is really different from real plate reverb (and modern emulations). Real plates were around in the 80s, but I wouldn't specifically associate them with that time period. Early digital 'plate' is something I would definitely associate with then.

@noesunyoutuber7680 3 года назад

@@eyeball226 Lexicon verbs are so weird they have their own emulations now, right?

@eyeball226 3 года назад

@@noesunyoutuber7680 Yeah, they were such loose approximations that they're very much their own thing. I think Valhalla Vintage Verb is in that vein (and Valhalla Plate is a much closer emulation of a real plate).

@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy 3 года назад

Shimmer reverb is my thing. Pair that with an Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork set to octave up, and the blend at 25%, and magic happens.

@noesunyoutuber7680 3 года назад

Yo dawg, I hear you like octaves - So I put octaves in your octaves, so you can octave while you octave!

@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy 3 года назад

That is very true. The way you build a shimmer reverb is to put in a feedback loop, and put an octave circuit in that feedback loop, so you get octaves of octaves of octaves. And yet, the Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork creates such magic.

@Jason75913 2 года назад

I'll try that with my groovebox now, thanks for the idea. ;)

@Rulon-bo1ig Год назад

Will you be reviewing the orca and skylar gfi systems any time soon?

@SwirlyWhirlyXYZ 3 года назад

Can you look at pre-delay controls on several reverbs? I’ve seen some define it as a single slap-back delay-style repeat, and others define it as a period before the reverb effect takes place (leaving space for the clean signal). The latter makes more sense to me.

@chordsoforion 3 года назад

I agree with you - I also refer to it as the second description.

@dreamcity7514 2 года назад

Hey bill, what reverb would you pair with a tape delay?

@theliberation9061 3 года назад

Spring reverb is the only "oldschool" ambient effect I don't like - while tape or analog delays sound beautiful and complex, spring reverb sounds like a cheap room reverb. Plate reverb is awesome though, especially for clean tones.

@SakariKempas 3 года назад

I can see where you're coming from. But I have to disagree. Maybe some digital modelers don't get it right, but the spring reverb on my AC30 sounds just right. Great with a tape-ish delay or my EHX Deluxe Memory Man. Or even with shimmer reverb from my Immerse MKII. But again, this is taste. So neither of us is right or wrong in the end :D And agree 100%, plate reverbs are awesome!

@Jason75913 2 года назад

Spring sounds modulated, and modulation is good for adding a little more movement and interest to sound. Like many other things, it rocks in the right context, amd some folks mostly use spring outright. The EHX Cathedral has my favorite spring reverbs from my reverb pedal collection so far.

@bw5260 7 месяцев назад

Have you had a chance to try out the Evermore reverb by UAFX? Apparently it's based off the Lexicon 224, and I'm curious how it would stack up against the Neunaber Immerse's Hall algorithm. Or the "Wet" algorithm by Neunaber.

@chordsoforion 7 месяцев назад

I have not tried it out, however, it looks like it is a mono pedal, whereas the Immerse is stereo, which is an advantage, at least for my rig.

@emilianoibarra3537 3 года назад

what delay and reverb pedals would be good for electronic music? been thinking about tc electronic flashback 2 and hall of fame 2

@peterjessop1878 3 года назад

They are definitely a good bet at the cheaper end of the market as they are both stereo pedals, which will be important for electronic stuff, but quality is noticeably better as the cost increases. Best value for money is around the £250-300 mark. Neunaber Immerse, Walrus Audio, Meris Mercury 7 even Boss RV500 are all great options. Alternatively old rack effects can be found relatively cheaply. Halls,concert halls,chambers and plates all work well for electronic music,just trust your ears.

@emilianoibarra3537 3 года назад

@@peterjessop1878 thank you so much, on another side, do you have any recommendation for delay and reverb pedals to perform live? dj setup wise

@peterjessop1878 3 года назад

@@emilianoibarra3537 to a degree I think that depends on your set up. Eg what I/Os you have on your mixer, whether it’s has auxiliary sends etc. You would need a box that accepts line level too. I’m thinking old rack multi effects again eg Lexicon, Boss etc due to the I/Os normally offering both XLR and 1/4inch. These can be found pretty cheaply now and are incredibly powerful even by today’s pedal standards.If I/Os are 3.5mm the Korg NTS1, though a synth, offers great effects that can be accessed with its line in and it’s relatively low cost as you have to build it yourself.(Its pretty easy. No soldering required). I’ve purposefully avoided anything expensive as I don’t know your budget, but clearly there are greater options the higher up the food chain you go.

@Jason75913 2 года назад

"Cathedral"? It rocks on some pedals. It can be a more tasteful alternative to Hall reverbs depending on the arrangement and how bright your guitar tone is. It can sound nicer with a little bit darker guitar tone as "Cathedral" settings tend to be brighter and mildly different versions of hall.
