Reverb: position
- Cliff: "If there isn't distortion or modulation in the delay/reverb then the order is irrelevant since they are then Linear Time Invariant (or shift invariant in digital parlance). If there is a small amount of distortion or modulation then the order is probably still irrelevant. If there is a lot of distortion or modulation then the order may make a difference. However, typically the biggest difference, as noted above, is series vs. parallel since h1(t)*h2(t) is not the same as h1(t)+h2(t). If LTI h1*h2 = h2*h1. It may seem counter-intuitive that the order doesn't matter but try it and you'll be surprised." Source
- Cliff: "Placing reverb after the cab is the recommended routing. The reverb is stereo. The cab block may be mono so you would lose the stereo field. Both blocks are linear so there is no advantage to placing reverb before the cab." Source
Reverb: tutorials
Reverb: spillover when switching presets
Reverb: global adjustment
- The Rev Mix parameter in the Global menu lets you boost or cut the Reverb Mix level across all presets at once.
Reverb: maintaining unity gain
- When using Mix to control the volume level of the Reverb, the volume level of the dry signal is affected also. In other words, when increasing Reverb with Mix, the dry signal's level decreases. To deal with this: turn up Mix to 50% and set Level to +6dB and use Input Gain to set the desired amount of Reverb. Or put the Reverb in a parallel row, see Effect blocks: series/parallel.
Reverb: simulating room ambience
- The Cab block has dedicated controls for adding room ambience to the sound.
Reverb: simulating other reverbs
- Cliff: "Studio type is a different algorithm. The algorithms are similar but the Studio type is meant to reproduce that classic synthetic reverb sound in units like Lexicon and Eventide." Source
