Why I Love To Chain Reverb Pedals // Creating Soundscapes In Unconventional Ways

[@MrCowfood]

I recommend watching Andy Othlings YT channel for even more in depth use of the same effects pedals used here. As a side note, using mono reverb pedals as beginning of chain / stereo reverb end of chain is absolutely the right way to do things, everything else in the middle. I prefer the crazy verbs (dark world is one of these) like OBNE dark star or sunlight as well for start of chain.

[@OoraMusic]

Cool, thanks! will take a look!

[@tendingtropic7778]

Very nice trick with the headphone out on the ju-06a into the compressor of the boum! did not know that input in the boum accepted audio signals!

[@OoraMusic]

yeah is a great feature!

[@tomlovelight2376]

Beautiful :) love the video ….being struggling alot with reverbs and the last plug-in friends is Valhalla …anyway thanks so much for this video, very helpful :’)

[@OoraMusic]

Happy to help! Valhalla is one of my fave plugin house

[@waltersmetak]

God, these are simply the best reverb units out there! Amazing!

[@OoraMusic]

Couldn't agree more!

[@saren6538]

In pedal form… yes

[@SyntheticSan]

Thank you so much for this vid. You become more and more the source of inspiration and learning. Will join your Patroen soon. This kind of vids is exactly what I need. Best from Berlin ✌

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks!! will be in Berlin for super booth soon :)

[@wingoshack]

I personally have way too many reverb pedals and I must say that the Rooms is something special. It just sounds huge and full of character - one of my favorites.

[@OoraMusic]

on my top 3 for sure!

[@twiglet2214]

You've inspired me to try out some experimental stuff and i've just got the Korg Wavestate,a Boss RC500 looper and i'm getting the TC Electronics Triple Flashback to go with it.Also going to have keyboard tutorial and i find this a fascinating new interest - i've always loved listening to electronic music and it's exciting to be able to have some with it !

[@OoraMusic]

Rock on! Thanks for your kind words and happy to hear that!

[@earlsfield]

Wavestate is incredibly powerful synth. With the 2.0 update, you can even import your own samples. If you love looping/droning wavesequencing that is built in on your Wavestate is just the right thing. And you have 4 layers of that madness!

[@twiglet2214]

@@earlsfield My keyboard teacher is very helpful and with the simple tunes that i am learning combined with chords means that i can have fun going through the voices and yes i need to install the update asap.It's given me a whole new interest and something to challenge myself which we need to do methinks Nemanja !

[@earlsfield]

@@twiglet2214 i am glad you are learning music, and you have a powerful tool. I must warn you though, Wavestate update can be tricky, depending on which OS you have. If you have 1.4 which is the one it is usually shipped with, you need to find and install 1.6 PRIOR to 2.0, otherwise, your synth will not recognize USB port. Basically it needs networking driver that is integrates in 1.6 update. I wrote in detail the process of Wavestate update video by Plugin Guru. Korg support site is a bit messy when it comes to older updates. If you can’t get around, give me a ping, I will write you detailed instructions. Cheers (sorry @Oora for highjacking your topic).

[@twiglet2214]

@@earlsfield Thanks for that helpful advice Nemanja,it's brought a little ray of light to a very gloomy day here in the UK so i will try and get it done today,if not i'll give you a ping ! Cheers for the help.much appreciated.

[@twiglet2214]

I've got an old reverb and it's an echo from the past. Really,really,really nice,nice,nice.

[@OoraMusic]

:)

[@thebmxband1t]

have i got this right? 1. each pedal from the juno onwards is sending a dry signal out (direct out) to into each 'chained' pedal. 2. each pedal wet signal is fed into a mixer channel strip so each pedal can be mixed/eq'ed etc from the mixer? if not then thats how i would do it as sending on increasing wet signals back onto itself will ramp up gain and eventually distortion and in the end sound rather messy? jb x

[@Eimost]

No, they're all in series, each mixed pedal out going into the next. You're not feeding the pedals back onto each other so the the gain shoudn't ramp up.

[@OoraMusic]

as Steve said, the signal iw "wet " all the way along the chain. Each pedal add just a little character.

[@jacco1967]

Very nice vibes and clear explanation

Very nice setup!

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks!

[@detroitologist]

Thanks for sharing your art.In looking for a reverb and delay to use for dj'ing I came across your ultimate reverb video. For me it was one of the most relevant examples of the pedals in a musical and useful way where most pedal videos are for guitarists or experimental electronic music. The Dark Rooms has a sound that I really love. I come from a Detroit background so I like the sound of that thing, it is dark. But for using while dj'ing the knobs are just too close for me. I mix with turntables and now have a cdj to add to the setup that I need to learn. Something like the Space and Timeline are appealing due to the knob per function and nice spacing, something that is playable. Maybe you have a recommendation. You use a Model 1 so I was guessing you have a background as a dj.

[@OoraMusic]

thanks! Sadly i never dj'd in my life, I just love model1 concept. As for reverb, the eventide space might be the most used and versatile for me. The Dark world is a precise mood, love it. Not too playable, but if you find one id get it.

[@reazallykhan]

Korg nts1 got beautiful reverbs and tc hall of fame is good too... I got the half rack boss rsd10 and also the rrv10 they sound beautiful too

[@OoraMusic]

solid advices!

[@GustavSandstedt]

Amazing 🤩 great work and so inspiring

[@OoraMusic]

Pro: Great video, sounded fantastic. Con: Looks like I’m going to need 6 more reverbs. 🤣👏

[@OoraMusic]

ahahah NO YOU DONT NEED ANYTHIN MORE ( but we all know that GAS willnever cease )

[@RileyGein]

Hahaha. DAWs have spoiled me with having unlimited effects and crazy chains. As soon as I started buying hardware effects/pedals I very quickly realized how spoiled I was

[@davidspiers6638]

Would be great if you build and upload a similar multi verb soundscape patch for the ZOIA/ ZEBU!!! Great video!

[@OoraMusic]

im working on a zbu video right now!

[@rodericklopez9850]

Beautifully inspiring!

[@OoraMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Love your experimental approach………………………………if any of your pedals take an expression pedal. Try out the Moog EP3

[@OoraMusic]

I never had an expression pedal, I should get one?

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

@@OoraMusic I find them useful……………………….you need to look at your pedals and see which have Exp ins and also what parameters the expression pedal allows you to control. They act (almost like a morph). In that they can change certain parameters (so for a delay. That might be say the delay duration. From full to nothing). They range from £20 up to £200+. But for me the £40ish Moog EXP3 is well made and great for the money. I do experimental stuff and have three of them. Old Blood Noise also do a small expression pedal that does the same as the Moog. But in a small pedal form factor (Have 3 of those also). Which uses knobs instead of an actual pedal to work. It’s just another string to the bow.

[@saren6538]

Man, I only have a Zoom MS-70CDR MultiFX box, but this inspires me to just add 6 reverbs after eachother :-D

[@OoraMusic]

don't let my videos fool you, you can do amazing music with very little! Go for it and have fun :D

[@yeppy013]

If you had to choose one reverb between the OTO or the Room, which would you choose? I’m trying to decide which one to go for as my first outboard reverb. Thank you!

[@tendingtropic7778]

the oto is not a reverb.

[@OoraMusic]

Oto is a comp/filter/distortion. Room is amazing but more on the creative side, for versatility id go with empress reverb.

[@jbogmans0]

@@OoraMusic I think he means OTO Bam vs DBA Rooms

[@philox100]

Cool - thank you so much for sharing. 🙌

[@OoraMusic]

My pleasure!

[@atomikrobot8016]

Are you just using the internal sequencer in the JUNO.? Sounds great man..! Peace.!

[@OoraMusic]

Yes only that!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

I see the LXR-02 isn't going anywhere! 😁 ....Beautiful stuff man. I always use multiple delays, and reverbs with filtering, and modulation. along with so much else. I forget, do you have the zoia already, or is euroburo your intro? I love my zoia so much. It's a true Swiss Army Knife.

[@OoraMusic]

They just sent me the euroburo and learning it now . With the eurorack interface it s amazing!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@OoraMusic I may upgrade myself, but put it in a desktop case. I'm not working with modular hardware right now, but the full machine is a good investment. Having both would be really amazing. ❤

Which Headphones you use?

[@yeppy013]

Do the quality of the cables degrade/enhance the sound at all in this setup?

[@Strafuzz]

Should be undiscernable if using TRS cables

[@OoraMusic]

Honestly i cannot perceive any difference with good or bad cable. But some people does. I have kinda crappy cables , dont say it around tho.

[@earlsfield]

I love chaining Space and Blue Sky/Night Sky. However it is easy to make a mess out of things, turning it into uncontrollable clusters of dense reverb. I love what you did though. also I found Empress reverb to be more useful as a send/aux effect on a mixer. To be honest, you could get amazing reverb just out of two Chase pedals and Strymon - that blue algorytms just cant be beaten. Eventide Space + Blue Sky+ Night Sky +Mood. That's what I would try. And btw how do you find LXR 02 - I am close to pulling a trigger on that one, but I would rather wait for Perkons. Now they say it will take them a year, so I might as well go for LXR.

[@OoraMusic]
