Reverb Pedals

Reverb is an essential effect in the world of guitar, and indeed music production as whole. A guitar reverb pedal essentially emulates the sound you hear when playing in a large space, where the reflections within the room create an ambient trail or echo.

As you would expect, different room sizes and shapes can affect the tone of a reverb and the length of its trail. Famous types of this effect include Hall, Plate and Spring reverb, the latter of which is popular for its bright response and short decay.

Digital reverb pedals are the norm, and a number of brands create their own stompboxes with their very own reverb algorithms and impulse responses. From simple no-frills mini reverb pedals like the Tone City Tiny Spring, you can also get highly diverse and versatile units like the Strymon Flint or Mad Professor Kosmos. Considered one of the best reverb pedals around, this processor boasts a range of tweakable sounds as well as MIDI functionality.
