Reverb & Delay Pedals
Reverb and delay pedals are the foundation of spacious, expressive, and atmospheric guitar tones. From subtle room reflections to vast ambient washes, quick slapbacks to rhythmic dotted-eighth delays, these pedals help your playing breathe and come alive in any musical setting.
Types of Reverb Effects
- Room & Hall: Natural, realistic ambience perfect for worship, studio work, and clean tones.
- Plate: Smooth, bright reverb great for vocals and shimmering guitar textures.
- Spring: The classic amp-style drip heard in surf rock, blues, and vintage recordings.
- Shimmer & Ambient: Reverbs with added octave effects for pads and cinematic layers.
- Modulated Reverb: Adds gentle chorus-style movement for dreamy trails.
Types of Delay Effects
- Digital Delay: Clean, precise repeats ideal for modern worship, pop, and rhythmic playing.
- Analog Delay: Warm, dark repeats with bucket-brigade character.
- Tape Echo: Vintage, warbly textures modeled after classic tape machines.
- Slapback: A quick single echo perfect for country, blues, and rockabilly.
- Multi-tap & Rhythmic Delays: Create complex patterns and layered soundscapes.
