Reverb and Delay

[lhrocker]

Who plugs into an amp straight and plays the whole night without any FX? Or do you have some rev/delay as part of your normal sound?

[wilkinsi]

I don't use an amp but my Boss GT-10 rarely ever has reverb on it. The two don't go together well.

[maluco]

i can honestly say that i do. I put my amp reverb on 3, got my footswitch to switch between clean and drive, and off i go. I love the simplicity of it and i think my tone is quite good

Reverb, delay or chorus... only on the clean channel once in awhile.

[roodyrocker]

Sometimes on, sometimes off. Depends on the song. Non of my amps have built in reverb so I use either my Guyatone RV2 or T-Rex Room Mate or if its rack stuff I use my G-Major.

I used to use reverb with my amp but hardly ever do now. Once I really started cranking the amp I didn't need it. I use delay for solos and chorus for clean stuff.

I use delay on solos and clean parts. With my "big" pedalboard/rack rig, I use a Tech 21 Boost DLA for delay and boost. If I'm just running my XXL head, I use a Digitech RP150 in the effects loop. For recording, I use the delay in my ART DST-4 preamp.

I have 3 main sounds for me.1 rythym 2 clean and 3 lead...#1 has reverb and a little delay.#2 has reverd a little delay and chorus.#3 has reverb and delay.#3 will have 2 patches with different delay times. #1 has a short delay and damped reverb. My clean sound is the most "wet" of the 3.I also will add other things from time to time such as a Leslie sound to the clean.I think my effects are taseful and not over done.I also have been messing with a Boss DS1 for lead boss inline with a Boss AW3 set for a middle position wah tone.I find it gives me close to a sustainer with the notes...

I always use a very dry distorted tone for learning and practicing.

Only exception is if I cannot get into the "feel" of the part without the FX that the original artist used on that track.

When I am just "playing" something that I have already learned... then sometimes I turn on the reverb + delay etc. But I hardly ever do that anymore. So I use a dry distorted tone 99% of the time.

I play acoustic so when I plug my electric in I always use reverb and delay. The delay level is set so low that it only adds a little to the reverb. There is no obvious echo. I used to play a dry distorted tone but now I don't bother to change the settings. Also, if I practice scales on electric I don't plug in until after I am done.

[stevoc]

I use a little of the amps built in delay most of the time. Maybe set to 2 or 3.

[Spivonious]

I usually use a moderate level of reverb (pan reverb built into amp) on the clean channel and a very slight amount on the dirty channel.

I'd like to get a chorus or phaser to make my clean sound a bit more interesting but nothing yet.

Guitar+wah+Tube screamer+amp for me.

And when I bring my GT8 to use with my amp (4CM), I don't use reverb or delay. To my ears, these fx kinda disappear quite easily in the band mix.
