  • Today I'm showing you some of my favorite extraordinary reverbs - verbs that inspire creative new ways to send your signal into the atmosphere. These verbs are not for the faint of heart, but for those brave souls who will venture into uncharted reverberation territory to find new sonic landscapes. In the comments let me know what your favorite reverb pedal and sound I played was, and also any reverbs you have that fit this category and how you use them!

    One of the bonus features of reverbs with "evolving" sounds is that they discourage wanking. Yes, yes, I'm fully aware you can play as fast as you do. But the only way for you to actually HEAR the auditory miracles these things pull off is to *stop* playing for a bit, so you can hear them. I think that's a real gift to music.

    • @MrSpeed-lt8gr
      @MrSpeed-lt8gr 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Fantastic point. And this is coming from a self professed 80’s wanker. In a lot of the music I play these days (modern church music) I don’t need to try to be Edward Van Halen. So having more spacious reverb really forces me to slow down.

    • @markhammer643
      @markhammer643 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@MrSpeed-lt8gr Different effects can impose a shift in focus on players. Whenever I hear from players who feel like they are in the doldrums, and need a kick in the arse for their playing and development, I will often recommend getting an envelope-controlled filter (autowah) of some kind, or a pitch-shifter/harmonizer. Autowahs push you to think like a drummer, syncing the sweep to the beat and general rhythm. Pitch-shifter force you to think about melody structure and movement more. Wanking of any kind sounds simply awful with either of those.
      Again, not to come down too hard on wanking. Sometimes one has to fill up space and time until a *really* good musical idea pops into your head and fingers. But when you want to go beyond wanking, it's good to have circumstances that force you to practice being creative and expressive even when you play fewer notes.

    I like the way he shows so much respect and appreciation for his peers in the business. Reminds me a lot of the ethos of the craft brew industry where there is general agreement that more people making good beer helps grow the whole market. Plus it's just cool to be part of a community of people who love the same stuff.
    I guess you could say, Josh is like the Jim Koch (of Sam Adams) of boutique pedals --- the PR guy for the whole industry/community.

    my favorite reverb on any album is the effect John Frusciante used on After The Ending off of The Empyrean. There's some crazy non-linearness that I don't quite understand but I love anyways, as well as just the space that it provides and the emotion it conveys

Besides, sometimes a song may call for more than just the typical spring sound which unfortunately can only be achieved by this digital witchcraft.

    After finding this channel, I found a new thing about the guitar to be obsessed with. Had pedals before, but I was underwhelmed. I got the JHS unicorn v2, it's absolutely fantastic. After tinkering with a few other of their pedals, I can say they are all keepers, this is the real deal. Thanks for the great pedals and videos! pedals really can be inspiring- I generally play clean so I'm admittedly picky about pedals and their tone sucking capabilities but I don't worry about that with jhs.

      I'm a guitarist and very mediocre keyboard player. I liked to use the keys to add a nice pad to some of my bands 4 track recordings back in the day.
      The first time I plugged my el-cheapo Casio keyboard into a pedal my first question was "why didn't you try this sooner, dummy!"
      An MXR 4 knob flanger was my favorite pedal to mess with. Took a bit of tweaking but the end results were worth the effort.
      Besides the obvious flanging it made a great chorus and doubling pedal. At a certain setting you could hear two almost distinct instruments/voices.
      It even emulated a steel drum sound pretty nicely. I still kick myself for selling it. Thinking of buying a new one but afraid it won't be quite the same.

    I have a Peavey SRP-16 reverb from the early 80's that still gets a spot on my board. It has a massive amount of selections and has all I ever needed in a reverb. It was designed to be a rack mount reverb in a pedal format. My only complaint is the colour they chose. Its Pink lettering on an eggshell background and is very hard to read. Fortunately, I've become so use to it, I can manipulate it without too much trouble.

  • @j.t.creations7048

    Man I LOVE your channel and this video was a prime example of why. One of my favorite songs that I find myself always listening to the application of reverb is George Michael's "Jesus To A Child". 1995 and it's just brilliant. His vocals are so up front and crystal clear with beautiful touches of reverb that never seem intrusive. BUT if you pay close attention all of the vowels (but only those vowels) with a "splash" or an S "ssssizzle" have a loooong plate reverb on them so there's an intermittent tiny explosion of reverb from time to time that seems gone before you realize it was there. Took me years to figure out how he did it with low pass and high pass filters on a split signal. The guy could produce as phenomenally as he could sing.

I don't personally own any reverbs that do weird sounds, but the Catalinbread Talisman is an impossibly good plate emulator. I like to combine it with other stuff to create all sorts of cool sounds.

    • @lancecass8997
      @lancecass8997 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      one awesome intuitive thing about it though, once you get used to the menus, patch, control, save etc, the other pedals in the line, like my boss dd 500, as well as the boss ms-3, have the same menu layouts. So, once you can use 1, you can quickly use them all, and with the save patches, footswitch accessibility, and amazing MIDI recall, once you spend all that endless time perfecting your tones, they can be recalled live so easily. A lot of work up front, but amazing like Josh said, these pedals will do any sound on this Video. Keep tinkering, I promise you'll love it.
      I have other pedals I love, but when playing live, I set up those sounds in the 500's for ease\y recall, and it never disappoints!
