Best reverb and delay?

tlb91 · #1 12-12-2009, 08:41 PM

Alright guys, this has been asked a million times, but hey it give you something to teach another memeber of tb. I have been itching to get a reverb and/or a delay pedal. Whats everyone been happy with? I know EBS has a reverb that is awesome, but the price isn't. Any suggestions? Thanks guys. OH, if anyone wants to tell me of a good overdrive that doesnt take over your bass, and doesnt make your bass sound like total crap fuzz, let me know! Thanks so much.

What qualities are you looking for in a reverb pedal? What qualities are you looking for in a delay pedal? Analog? Digital? Price point? Delay length? Trails? Dark? Bright? Potentially tons of options but you'll help us narrow them down by giving us more specifics as to your needs.

received a Behringer RV600 for my birthday,no i won't state the Behringer pedals are top of the line,,and i know many don't like,and myself i would state they don't appear rugged enough for a pro at any level,,,so now that the `disclaimer' is out of the way

i wanted one for my guitar!,,not a bass since i sold my guitar amp i been jonesing for some`twang' and havent touched a guitar in a month,,however,,the thing does make some insane sounds!,i'm going to drag a bass out and try it(like as soon as i get thru with this longa!! post),,,,

`for the money',,the `B' pedals are hard to beat=at least you can get a taste and decide if a 2-300 dollar pedal is in your future,i would guess you could do some recording with a cheap behringer,get your 5 million then buy whatever you want

i prefer an overdrive pedal,couldn't kick it!,,nearly 9PM and the neighbors have to get up and sweep horse crap at 6AM so i kept it down(i live way out but let's face it,ya wanna be a GOOD neighbor not an a!!,the sound carries a long way when it's quiet) but it didn't blow my skirt way up,may be some tones there you'd like?,the higher octave MAY be fun with a pick?,,,,with a guitar it's a magic wand

i'll crank it tomorrow mid-day with a bass and see if i like it,till then it's relagated to my `strat', i like the thundering THUD with a bass

,maybe you can find one in a shop and `try before you buy',good luck!

i prefer analog, and with a variety of length time. I prefer a more brigther sound with the pedal, but wouldnt hurt to have a little darker too. Still getting used to all thisd pedasl lingo!

How about a delay/reverb pedal?

The Boss RV-3 is amazing but it's digital.

EHX Memory Boy.

Analog delay can sound "reverby".
I happen to not like an actual reverb processor on bass.

Analog delay: short feedback time moderate repeat/feedback.

As for reverb, the most fun unit I played with so far is the Line 6 Verbzilla.
Tile Room is a weird reverb fetish.

I've got an EHX Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, and it can do reverb or delay, and you can set it so the delay decays into reverb. It's really easy to use, sound awesome, has a pretty decent looper, can make some cool modulation sounds, is easy to use and has presets. It isn't super cheap ($220 new, $150-190 used) but for all that it does, it's a good value.

You can't go wrong with a Stereo MM. You just can't.

I agree with the above. It has some great features that aren't found on other delays:

- The decay knob which introduces reverb to the repeats
- The filter knob which lets you filter out the lows from your repeats, really useful on bass to stop the sound getting too muddy

Plus the looper is tons of fun, you can pitch-shift and reverse the loops to make cool sonic textures.

I have the tc.electronics reverb pedal. its in my opinion the best reverb pedal money can buy. I combine it with boss gigadelay. Works jolly good.
