i'm actually using reverb and delay in the loop. I, when i built my Board, thought about the reverb and delay order that way: when you want a room /slapback sound, the reverb mostly is bypassed or only the reverb is running. Using both, a room reverb and a slapjack delay at the same time, gives a cool effect, but also there: if the delay is short, and feeding into the room reverb, you have a room, and then you have a second room created by the delay that feeds into the reverb. so you end up with "twice" the room as if you use reverb before delay. same goes for longer delays: if you have a long hall reverb creating a space, and you have a delay afterwords, it will just repeat this hall space. but if you put the delay in front of the reverb, its like playing multiple notes into the hall space, which can make the space overcrowded. my opinion for pedalboards is that with delay after reverb, you get a much cleaner reverb that doesn't get muddy so quick, because it hasn't so much "gain" done by the repeats of the delay feeding into it. of course sometimes in some moody situations, where you want multiple guitars simulated with a delay, it can make sense to put it in front. But mostly, i end up preferring delay after reverb. Thats my thoughts, greetings Jonathan

In terms of Delay and Reverb, the ideal would be to have them always in parallel. However, we simple humans, pedalboard users, to avoid the mess of the Reverb being repeated in our Delay, go for the common sense order... It's a very good time we are living in with all these gear to mess around with preamp, power amp, effects, different signals, without having to be in a large studio. Great video!

Delay is an acoustically "later" effect. Slap back, canyon echo, or bounce off a big wall (or old fashioned distributed speaker horn arrays on poles at outdoor arenas) is the last thing that happens, where reverb is a spectrum of reflections and EQ filtering from very fast reflections to longer ones.

Funny when I bought the new BOSS RV-2 because the Marshall had no reverb, just spent 5 mins experimenting and plugged it in last in the pedal chain. It sounded "goodest" and that's where it stayed because it gave a reverby sound. Bigger room, dial it back, smaller room dial it up a bit. Pretty much end of thought about it. Now that pedal sounds very different to an amp reverb but it gave that rough space to the sound and as an effect sounded cool. Really rough and brute force with no subtlety in that thinking. Great video explaining what can be done!!

Excellent video! I really learned some stuff and got turned on to new vendors and tools. Parrallel reverb and delay is cool but there is also nothing wrong with stacking 3 delays in serial like Ry Cooder. You would think this would sound like muddy shoegaze mess but he gets some of the most incredibly huge clean sounds this way. Catalinbread Talisman plate reverb is my favorite reverb pedal because it sounds extremely good plugged into the front of a clean or gritty Fender. It does the EMT140 sound in a simple pedal better than anything else. I find that using a high efficiency speaker like a JBL E120 in an open back cab is very friendly to having big lush reverbs run through them. A low wattage speaker like a V30 sounds better having reverb added after the mic.

Awesome video Mason! Personally, it just depends on what sound I’m chasing, and the context. If it’s in the studio then I’ve found it’s about knowing which placement helps me achieve which result and then setting it up accordingly. If it’s strictly my live board for my original music then I like it last 👍🏻 I do it that way because it gives me a similar thing as to what I’d do when adding in a reverb in a DAW which I like. I mostly use reverb more sparingly so this works well. But again, that’s just what’s works best for me 👌🏻

For instance, noting that tube reverb boxes appear to have been developed and used prior to integration into guitar amps, it would have been cool to have one or two samples of segments of famous songs/artists where this set up was used and to hear the studio reference. Not necessarily an easy task but a nice to have. Thanks again.

I have an original 64 fender Princeton reverb.I love the Reverb on the amp, I also have reverb by my board but I always keep my Princeton set for a clean sound so it doesn't really interfere with the drive because all my drives come from my pedals so I can have both. Also I use delay before reverb. Just the way Mason said was "wrong" but I like the delay to be crisp followed by reverb, and keeping my amp clean the reverb is still post preamp as my pedal drives are the acting as the "preamp". I love using parallel effects when I'm playing through my rack.
@VertexEffectsInc
@VertexEffectsInc 2 жыл бұрын
You can still have crisp delay post reverb, however it's impossible on a vintage Fender amp because you can't separate the pre and power amp. The part we're saying is "wrong" is more of - if you're attempting to set up a vintage reverb tone with an amp without reverb to resemble an old Fender, like you have, you have to put the reverb in the loop. Just as your '64 Princeton has the Reverb after the preamp in terms of the internal circuitry.

Wampler did a video a few years back saying Reverb after Delay, then did another video a couple years later where he backtracked and preferred Delay after Reverb. Personally I find Reverb after Delay (in front of the amp) has too much wash - I like the crispness of having Delay at the end. My favourite part of this video and my key takeaway was the Reverb before vs after pre-amp comparison. Big difference, and much nicer sound and closer to the original. I don't think I'll fuss with that for live playing, but that's great to know for recording.

The Fender 6G15 was available from 61-66, this was for models like the Brown Panel Deluxe, Bassman models, Tremolux, and Bandmaster respectively -models that did not have the built in reverb feature. Part of the love that is for the 6G15 style unit is that there was no other tone than to go right in the front of the amp if you wanted it, so you had to work with it as is. It's the Dick Dale surf tone that you're going for if you're looking at it.

Robert, correct, and I don't think anything in this video disputes that - I think you'll agree. I think Dick Dale used a Showman with 2x15's, super clean. That's definitely a sound in and of itself.

I think the take away from this video is that it's important to test wherever possible because you may find a method you really love that's outside of conventionalism. Peace, brother...

@@VertexEffectsInc I’ve really loved it so far. The flexibility in routing and the whole aspect of the neuro desktop editor and burning presets from the community is amazing and really easy. I have a small board, and wanted an amp-less option, so I recently swapped out my Source Audio Ventris and Empress Echosystem for a Collider, which gave me room for a Walrus ACS1 for amp-cab sim. The ventris and echosystem are obviously awesome too, but I found myself using about 10% of what they were capable of doing, so the Collider has been a great fit for me. Has plenty of engines still to work with.

Reverb after delay makes sense in terms of Reverb being an effect that modifies space, Delay is an effect that changes your instrument, just like a Synth or Overdrive pedal. Delay is creating another instrument or a copy of your pure signal, Reverb is changing the space into which that instrument is acoustically represented. I have tried Reverb before other effects for experimentation's sake, but I always prefer it after most effects.

Wick, I'm sure there is a "Tube Doctor" out there that has good videos talking about vacuum tubes! So far, the emulations I've heard all fall short in some way, it's hard to emulate such a high impedance component like a tube which is inherently variable and dynamic in every context and circuit it's used in. This is why tube amps, at least for now, are still king.

If you don't use the cab zeus and a line out in more of a wet/dry context, than just in series is your only choice. I would experiment with delay before reverb vs. delay after reverb so you can see what you like. You can get a mono cab zeus for $100ish on Reverb, and a Bray Line Out box for $50.

After watching this video I am curious about the following: I use a Boss ES-8 Effects Switcher - and I have a TC electronic HOF 2 connected to it so that it is in the effects loop of the ES-8. From the ES-8, I go directly to the inputs of my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III and my Marshall SC20C. But if I understood your video correctly, that would be wrong, right? Or does the ES-8 itself already solve the problem, so that the reverb pedal does not have to be placed after the amp‘s pre-amp anymore?

The cable capacitance will still be present into the DI. A passive DI will still have issues with the tone...depends also on your context.

After every possible combination that's what worked best according to my taste and want: Scenario 1: running a dirty/crunchy/overdriven head reverb and delay go into FX loop Scenario 2 : running a clean head mainly as platform pedal, don't bother about FX loop. Whichever your scenario is, my perfect order is reverb>delay as I think it's more organic...try to yell into a valley: reverb first and echoes after. Also interesting running a reverb before OD to get that shoegaze feel.

Hi... I have just been given a Ibanez TSA15H head. It has a fx loop but I've heard its not a normal loop between preamp and amp because theres a built in TS808. I was told the loop sits just after the inbuilt tubescreamer? So what would the effect order be and why would this amp be built this way? Should i run my whole pedalboard through the fx loop? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks 🙂
