...you stack reverb pedals or amp and pedal reverb together?
It just occured to me that I know what stacked phasers, dirt, flangers,delays and choruses etc. sound like but not stacked reverb.
Google doesn't have much to say on the subject so I presume one of you pedal loaded bastards will have tried this at some point.
What happens? Deeper sound? MOAR reverb? Noise?

Moar! Your verb gets verbed, so it's deeper and longer. And when it's a spring reverb in front, the little splash sound gets more splash.

In general, MOAR. It's the best way to describe it.
The second reverb takes the guitar sound and first reverb's sound as one, and then adds its own reverb on top, effectively giving you a huge reverberating wall of sound.
Other options include analog delay with high repeats into a heavy delay with slightly lower blend, different types of reverb into one another, oh. And thirteen layered fuzz pedals into two delays and three reverbs.

This is why I have the 2 delays that I do

I always keep at least two on my board just for that reason. It gives a reverb sound without the reverb, and sounds massive.

Okay so instead of getting a cathy I get the RRR and when I want it to go SUPERMASSIVE POST ROCK AMBIENT OLOLOL I crank the spring reverb on my amp and combine it with a deep RRR?
That's very good to know indeed

Ghost Echo + some insane setting on the microverb = win.

Absolutely. Start turning up the amp verb too if I want to take it further.

Old production trick, especially when you just had a couple cheap digital rack reverbs around and aspired to better sound. Reverb times get longer and digititis in the reverb tails becomes less pronounced. Short room times tend to combine better if you want a conventional effect. Around here, go as long as you can bear.
