Loved the new style of camera work - was uniquely effective and definitely fits your video styles perfectly. Also just realised you lived the path I want to walk so hopefully will be working with you in a few years time!

[@thejuggernaut5327]

20- year church player here. I’ve found that if you give God’s people enough reverb and delay, maybe…maybe…(you can get away with the occasional wahwah). Ssssh, just don’t advertise it 😊

[@abelramirez7320]

As someone who loves reverb, its so refreshing to play in rooms that give the effect naturally.

[@ivanm9186]

to sing as well.... I hate studios cause they are all prepared for recording to avoid natural reverberation. As a singer, it's so amazing so sing in a HALL!!

[@jacobbond835]

I bought the fender reflecting pool pedal. I don’t use the delay often, but I like the different sounds. I enjoy the reverb effect. To me it just gives that little bit of extra depth and resonance. It’s the only effect I always have on.

[@othinus]

As a vocalist, Rwverb can he the pnly thing in my vocal chain, and I'd be satisfied.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Good Christ man, I get one or two typos, but three consecutive ones? Just about had a stroke reading that.

Evidently, you have no idea what needs to be in a signal path for a vocal track.

[@TVsBen]

As a worship guitarist, I also had to know how to make reverb do its thing. And I enjoy it so very much. The Line6 Glitz reverb in my Pod Go is so much fun.

[@oreally8605]

Worship guy here, too. We should open the door to more sounds.

[@TVsBen]

@@oreally8605 I would love that personally.

[@ninjaowl9881]

Hey Mike, thanks for this video! I am new to guitar only been playing for about two years and I dont understand any of those types of effects. This has really helped me understand how to use reverb and what its purpose is. Could you do more videos on all the other types of effects? Thanks man.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Reverb makes such a difference, whether it comes from a pedal or your amp. TC Electronic’s Hall of Fame 2 does everything I need and a ton more.

[@snappy-strat-snacks1551]

I dig what you do. Thanks!

[@henryprego]

Great presentation!

[@sassycat]

This might have been my favorite UAFX launch video so far. I also like your Rhett Shull approach to your videos, very engaging. 😺👍

[@sherwintavarez8539]

Modulate and Dynamic on my RV6 are my favourite types of Reverb. I got really into Beach House and Slowdive (who make all their music based off Reverb) about a year ago and they’ve completely changed my perspective on Reverb, it’s definitely my most used effect now

[@JLCwakeboardingFL]

Haha why did I think this was about the online musical instrument resale sight?

[@JordanKyle]

Explained reverb in a way I've never heard before. Love this!

[@brooklynjohn9603]

Very helpful vid, can you do one on delay next?

[@onemileguy]

I came to love the plate reverb for the ambient stuff, so functional and versatile

[@JT96708]

I'm a big fan of reverb. I set my amp's spring reverb fairly lightly, just enough so that I sound like I'm floating.

[@tr3f]

I love reverb! not all reverb is created equal. I love Marshall's digital reverb on their MG series amps. Pedal wise, Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Max. sidenote, I was able to dial in the EHX HG max to almost mirror the marshall mg digital reverb.

[@sgholt]

If I could have only 2 pedals, it would be delay and reverb........ Thanks Mike

[@miked8075]

I love a good spring reverb always use it pretty wet with clean tones, to me a strat sounds dead without the right amount of reverb and that depends on how much you want. Reverb is really the single most important effect

[@JohnSherwoodGuitar]

I use a Strymon Flint. Plate for subtle reverb to add a bit of space, and Hall for bigger and more ambient sounds (with delay in worship music at church). I got the Favorite switch to go between them.

[@cori1396]

My fave pedal is the electric mistress, I use it with my Gibson lp junior...yummy tones 🥰🤩

[@steveg.3022]

I only have the Spring and Hall reverb features on a Yamaha THR5 desktop amp. These all sound good. This investigation was helpful.

[@taylorforester4213]

This was very helpful. I love me some reverb. It's a must.

[@deltapyr]

Depends on the genre really, but agreed

[@Herodotusjones]

Right on for playing Shiver!! And huzzah for reverb!

[@dannyharvey8245]

Plate is the best of all reverbs. You can make it sound like there is no reverb at all, it's so versatile.Then you can make it sound big and lush. It melts seamlessly on a track. I think bits because there is little early reflections in its sound.

[@93greenstrat]

My very first amp was a Peavy Backstory Plus: 35 watts of solid state joy with a spring reverb and Saturation control (basically a distortion knob that you can work in conjunction with the pre-amp volume). I tend to go light with reverb and use delay for more ambient or "wetter" sounds. To this day, I still don't own a separate reverb pedal......but my Boss CH-1 has never left my side 😀.

[@IndyRockStar]

I use a Ambient Room reverb from the Quad Cortex or the Strymon Cloudburst pedal.

[@lanceholland]

If you're digging plate....check out a Neunabor Wet. It's a plate that can be pretty saturated but still not overwhelm your tone.

[@ConspiratorElec]

I use a digitech supernatural on the plate setting for my worship reverb.. it gets plenty ambient.

[@tomyates2551]

Reverb is by far my favourite effect so I have three ‘verbs on my board. I treat them like ODs. Have one as normal, then big, then huge.

[@MichaelBCoats]

As a surf guitar player, spring reverb is king! I like to add a touch of Tremolo on some songs as well.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

I'm in a sorta weird place on this 'cause, one the one fork of the tail, as a player and a songwriter I *love* lush reverbs and space effects. But on the other, as my own engineer and producer; and as someone who likes to mix in a ton of weird electronic industrial elements on all my tracks; when I'm recording I want that all that space be applied in the DAW after the fact so that it fits with the other elements of the song. So I end up using a ton of reverb and delay and yet rarely ever really getting to *play* with it. :)

[@lucistired]

I exclusively use the spring reverb on my amp. Given it's a vintage Twin Reverb so it's a pretty damn good spring reverb

[@andydamico7080]

Please give us an apartment tour

[@lucianoconte827]

Because your really young guy. 🙂In 80's and 90's reverb, delay and chorus where the base of the first gig to buy. The basic was an ampli with distorion channel (so footswitch) and a reverb or delay pedal or both depends on the money.

[@tomaslopez2940]

When I saw the title, I thought you were talking about the gear website 😂

[@peterengler6450]

Tanx for the lesson. I play worship music and i better know how to use the reverb.

[@chrishappe5410]

wasnt expecting the coldplay

[@spacedigger]

Now, I'm not a scolar in the world of music, far from it, however I do know this. People overthink music and equipment way to mutch. It all boils down to this. If it looks and sounds awesome to you, use it. If not, ditch it. In the end, it is all a preference and other people will like it or not. Every single band has that happening. Stop focussing on perfection and make and play what you love to hear and it doesn't really matter what other people think.

[@MitchellSpille]

I do a lot of church gigs, and for those, the big sky is still king for me. But I also do a lot of country gigs, and for that, I prefer the flint just for its simplicity and the fact that it has trem. I use trem a TON in country.

[@szymondudzinski6661]

Hey man, Buckland didn't use any reverb on Shiver!

[@michaeledmondsonrock]

I like Plate and Hall equally. Hall when I play rock stuff and plate when its surf rock time!

[@maclainlawson4648]

❤❤

[@briandriver301]

It seems like most modern worship guitar is U2-sound based.

[@martianmurray]

Still wondering what pre-delay is lol

[@pb25193]

Time before the reverb kicks in

[@Cadet44642]

Plate over Hall every day of the week.

[@AnniottOfficial]

Having started learning guitar just over a year ago through youtube and the rest of the internet, there are so many hard "rules" that people make for themselves like "Less is more" that may apply in one circumstance but not in all. At the end of the day, who cares if you have maxed your reverb out if it sounds good for that song in that gig?

[@ThatHuskyisCrazy]

Do you really need reverb in a church?

[@arrtdave]

3:00 how could this be? More IS more.

[@dah_koh_tah2641]

100 Billion X vibes at around 7:20

[@ThatWhatIsNot]

Reverb is life. Specifically, spring reverb.

[@0dtp1]

wait... to worship God you need to have a lot of reverb and delay? Are you worshipping God or are you worshipping good music?

[@sevenchambers]

I believe the reason is because reverb and delay is meant to replicate the feeling of being in a cathedral. So it’s all about escaping the reality.

[@MrEvanBacon]

I thought you didn't like PRS

[@misterknightowlandco]

Lol he tried playing a U2 cover gig errrr “church gig” 😂 without reverb/delay 😂😂😂😂😂 omg I’d love to hear that. Probably was hilarious.

[@TomTobin67]

I love the reverb effect but I hate the website reverb. They effed me over for the last time.

[@szymondudzinski6661]

Being a fan of indie rock/dream pop, nobody ever needed to convince me to use reverb

[@ricktaylor6373]

I’ve been criticized in a joking way that I drench in reverb. Oh well

[@estenray5385]

Definitely use more hall reverb than plate. Really love the effect can play with it for hours and inspire’s my song writing! Also love working with tremolo! Thanks for the great video!👍🎸❤️💕🙏🤗✌️👋

[@michaelw6277]

I think the guitar players who are wrong about reverb, or effects in general, are the ones coming from a blues background. Pretty much all the rest of us are: “oh yeah baby slather on that ‘verb nice n THIC” Of course worship gigs want heavy reverb, they don’t care about your skills they just want those pretty ambient sounds the guitar can make with the right effects.

[@sevenchambers]

Tbh I don’t care about trying to conform to a genre of music. I would rather create something new or breathe new life into a genre that’s dead. So guitar effects are just a means for that.

[@TheTimHall]

Get as many effects pedals as possible, and set them all to 11. No need to thank me! 😉

[@DavidMadeira29]

Who cares once there aren't any microphoned drums in the room?! Namastè.

[@JS-uh1ly]

I would politely request not having the same confused looking thumbnail and random WORDS in CAPITALS, but I suppose that’s what drives clicks.
