Topic: Delay before or after Reverb |

Since switching over to stomp box FX, I've been running the guitar through my vol pedal --> HOF reverb --> delay pedal --> amp input.
I recently bought (the amazing) Strymon El Capistan" delay and while tweaking it I noticed a reverb "wash" following the original note which blurred the "repeat". After switching the order of the pedals (delay --> reverb) the problem was resolved.
Thoughts? |

Always used delay first, guess I got used to it that way when I used the amp's reverb.

| There's an internal spring reverb in the El Cap that you might want to turn down if you're using another reverb (I think it's on by default everytime you power it up). Or, use it instead of your normal reverb for really well pronounced repeats. |

In the real world reverberation is the last thing that happens to a sound, it happens AFTER, and it INCLUDES, any early reflections and/or slap delays generated within the space, i.e. BEFORE the onset of the natural reverberation of the space.
You can hook them up the other way around if you wish, but that's not how the real sound effect works. |

As Dave states....
"TIME" is always the last thing in the signal chain and REVERB is typically the last thing in the "TIME ZONE".

No. It becomes a surreal sound effect |

There is much to be said for putting time-based F/X in the F/X loop.
"Time based F/X" includes chorus, flange, fake rotary/Leslie ( not a mechanical one, a pure-electronic simulated Leslie like the Hammond digital Leslie ) , reverb and delay.
FWIW, I only use spring reverb from the amp. If it goes out, I'll add reverb in the F/X loop or get it fixed. |
