Where should delay and reverb go in pedal chain?

Time based effects such as delays and reverbs work best at the end of the signal chain. Volume pedals can go at the beginning or end of your signal chain to provide slightly different functionality in different locations in your chain.

Which pedal goes first reverb or delay?

As we discussed earlier, reverb—and sometimes delay, depending on the space—is the last thing that happens before the sound reaches your ears in a physical space, so these go last. Delaying reverb can sound muddy, so it’s usually better to have the reverb after the delay.

Where do you put the delay on a pedal board?

The end of the signal chain is where the delay/echo and reverb effects should be placed – preferably with the delay in front of reverb – primarily because both are “ambience” effects that give the illusion of a sonic space or atmosphere.

Do you use delay and reverb at same time?

Yes. As long as you has a system that allows you to use both on the same channel. The trick is to use delay first and then reverb. Reverb should always be the last effect.

Do I ~really~ need a reverb pedal?

Location: NYC. Unless you are playing music that has a lot of space or has style specific reverb requirements the answer is no you don’t “need” a reverb pedal. If you’re like me and you “feel”, and subsequently enjoy playing more when you have that extra sheen and notes linger just a touch longer, then yes you need a reverb.

What does a delay effect pedal do?

A delay pedal is a stompbox effect that records and plays back any music fed into it . Usually this playback happens in milliseconds. When playback is rapid, a delay pedal produces a “slapback” effect-an instant, snappy reverberation of what was played.

What does a guitar delay pedal really do?

Delay pedals will delay the playback of your guitar signal and allow you to take advantage of the distance between the original sound and the duplicated one. You can thus use such a pedal to repeat the original sound several times and control the time between these repetitions.
