Reverb in a pedal?

stoo · Post by **stoo** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 11:23 am

Hi!
Now that I've moved away from my DSL401 and towards my JTM45ish Traynor I find I miss the reverb. Are there any decent pedals to provide reverb? Or am I going to have to go with $$$ on a fender reverb box?
Thanx all
Stew

Even with good pedal options I'd still go for a Fender style reverb box, or the Weber Re-Vibe if you're in a tinkering mood.

I think you can even get enough juice out of them for a little extra push into the preamp, but I'm not that experienced with them.

Yup for a trubypass spring reverb in a pedal the Lanilei is a great candidate and priced right.
I would prefer 2 spring but....
I thought it had a little too much treble going on and the reverb sounded on the hollow side where I was looking for more wetness.
Thus why I thought it needed a second spring.

Nothing, and I mean nuthin' beats a Fender (style) Reverb for juicy wet reverb.

If you absolutely need a pedal then the Lanilei is what you need....But....
If you don't care about pedal form. the warmest spring reverb without the $ would be a Peavey Valverb. Make sure there's a 12AT7 loaded and not a 12AX7
It comes in a rackmount form and also has tremolo for that vintage vibe...AND has a jack for a remote pedal for on/off....

Ive been meaning to do a Fender reverb kit for ages but they aint cheap or simple projects just for an effect I rarely use. Theres one design, either then weber or hoffman, that uses the extra tuibe real estate to add fender tremolo as well.

I don't know about Hoffman, but that's what the Weber Re-Vibe is, both the reverb and tremolo in one package -- sweet!!

This definitely isn't a pedal, but I have been eyeing one of these the last few days....

TC has some very nice verbs...

Many footswitching options......
It can be run in parellel mode (delay,efx left in/left out & reverb right in/right out)
which would be cool for efx between guitar and input
and verb thru efx loop

Could possibly be cooler IMHO if delay was also in reverb engine,
but whadya want for $250???

Am also not sure if modulation efx and delays can be run simultaneously.
I sent this question to their support dept. late Fri. night.....

I know it's a processor, but TC is generally a very good product
and they're real serious about their reverbs & delays!!!!

T-Rex just came out with a reverb pedal. I played with it all weekend at the NAMM show. Very hip.

Impressive !
(I almost picked up the T-Rex Replica delay but opted for the Anolog Maxon 999... Thicker anolog as to the T-Rex's longer & digital 1.5 sec transperantish delay.)
I have no doubt that this will be my next aquirement to my ever growing arsenal. This company is Top Notch. Can't wait to hear this !

I get this vibe that even though it will not contain a real spring,
that the combonation of the tube will give a person that wet feel without the brittle high end of digital yuk.

I have all the T-Rex pedals. I'm a T-Rex endorsee (through their American distributor Dana B. Goods). The pedals are top notch.

It's pricey but it's a must have ! I gotta have it !

There are soo many reverb style pedals out there that with all the homework I've done none of them appealed to me.
I have a gut instinct that I feel this might be the one.
In reality it is a pretty big feat to market a FULL size reverb tank in a pedal or else it would have been done by now...
There are a few out there but are they gig/road worthy?.
Most of them are basement worthy which they don't move around so much.
Trying to make a delicate real dual spring reverb that size in pedal form is next to impossible.
I'm hoping this digital/tube combo will be a superb alternative.
You said you have ALL their pedals.. I assume you don't have their Reverb pedal yet ...?

The only 2 I don't have is the Bloody Mary, and the Roommate. The pedals on the NAMM show floor were protos. Once they start shipping I'll have those. I must have played on that pedal for about 12 hours over the course of the three days. Also, I really like the fact that they are running at 300v in the Roommate. It is not a starved tube design.
