three reverbs = overkill?

Hey we're on ILF... nothing is overkill in here.

I remember when I had zero reverb pedals for years, I just assumed I didn't need one. now I have a digiverb and a supernatural and I sort of want a Boss Reverb... Its probably my favorite effect outside of fuzz.

never enough verb

Yeah, I always thought I never needed one, then got one and a couple of months later had 3 because reverb is the best ever.

Right now I've got a RRR near the beginning of my chain, 90% of the time on plate 1, either set light and pretty or full wet. Then I've got a Ghost Echo near the end. I'm very tempted to get an RM-1N as well because they look fun.

Isn't your name echodeluxe? How could you not have three or more reverb pedals?

Why there's no Wattson reverb?

My theory is that every fuzz should have a reverb before and after it. But also every reverb should have a fuzz before and after it. Into infinity.

I only have two reverbs, like I'm new to this or something

I have a Ghost Echo, RV-5, and a Digiverb on my board. Honestly, I felt a little silly wiring it all up, and was a little nervous of the comments I might get with 28% of my board being reverb pedals, but it honestly sounds great. It takes up just a hair bit more room that a BigSky and it was a lot cheaper too, so I don't feel bad about it at all.

I have three delays.

I sense a Thr-Igor demo coming on.

Hello, friends.

The Reverb Machine is my main real verb (and so much fucking more), coming late in the chain. The Cathedral is used more as a texture and noise generator, the whole thing rigged so I can run it before dirt, after dirt, before AND after dirt simultaneous, simultaneous w/o dirt, etc....

THEN, in the loop of my Superego (once it's all patched correctly) are 2x Alesis Ineko units. Usually have at least one, if not both, on a verb patch.

And I'm still considering a second RM-1N....
can you send a pic of your pedalboard and maybe explain the switching system?

because that seems fucking amazing

Board is currently in disarray. In the middle of a rewire, trying to figure out if/how/where I'm fitting/using the 3 delays and ILFSS gift that I've gotten in the past 6 weeks.

But here's two pics from during the last rewire :

: board beta 10 17 2014.jpg (471.96 KiB) Viewed 699 times

: IMG_4115.jpg (472.98 KiB) Viewed 699 times

IIRC, my signal path at the time was:

Philo King > OC-2 > Octane clone > St

Muff > SAS #1 > TB Loop #1 (so one side, lets say left, of the Cathedral) > Superego (with it's own mess of stuff in the loop, GB24, grstlzr, plus a Bitrman 2x Inekos and a 1/2 dozen other pedals on an entirely separate board patched in thru a blendable feedback loop) > Trimetal > SAS #2 > TB Loop #2 ( so the Right channel of the Cathedral) > Donner delay > RM-1N > Black Fountain > Echo Degrader > CT5 > DittoX2 > Killswitch > Amp (with it's own spring verb)....

So there's no complicated switching involved, not really, a couple of extra bypass loops. The trick is to place each channel of the Cathedral (or whatever stereo device you're using) in it's own TB loop. You can then turn on each channel/side independently, and place them at different points in your path.

Caveats-
- obviously, we're talking mono here. If you're running a stereo rig, disregard everything I've just said.
- Just because you're running the cathedral at two points in your path doesn't mean you suddenly have two pedals. You're still limited to running a single setting at a time.
- Unless you're looking for straight feedback, start with lower settings than you normally would. We're cascading, probably with gain stages in between. Runaways messes are likely.
