Hey everyone,
Long story short, I need a reverb pedal that doesn't cut the output level.
During tracking a record, our producer was messing around and threw some spring reverb on the bass. It ended up sounding excellent (in specific doses,) so I elected to buy a reverb pedal and recreate this sond live.
He recommended a Malekko Spring Chicken. Unable to find one, I picked up an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Nano.
The pedal sounds fine, but has an output problem.
I need the pedal at around 2 or 2:30 to produce the level of effect I want (Spring reverb setting) but after 12 o'clock the pedal begins to cut the output. What would be the best solution to this problem?
I am new to the use of reverb on bass, so instinctively I figured I could get a clean boost pedal and put this in front (or after?) the reverb pedal. However, I'd have to switch on two pedals every time, which would be a hinderance.
I've also considered using an A/B switcher for these pedals (reverb and boost) so I would only need to switch on one button to get the desired effect. However, this seems like such a roundabout soultion!
It would be much more simple to get a better reverb pedal that doesn't cut the output, but I am unsure this is even possible and wouldn't know where to begin.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to your suggestions!
