    Lol. Back in the early 90s, I used to use parallel 4th power chords with a tremelo arm to try to replicate Shield's sound. I met Billy Corgan in August of 2000 and he was saying he used a lot of reverb. Funny.

  • @bpm9295
    @bpm9295 3 роки тому +4

    I love your videos buddy, I remember watching this one over and over before ordering my first reverb pedal years ago now. One aspect of the Cathedral demo that should be mentioned is that you never actually turned the pre-delay off, as far as I can tell. Now, if the pre-delay knob is set to something above zero when you turn the pedal on, I think it might actually stay disengaged until you wiggle the knob (I'm having trouble remembering) - but it actually did sound like yours was enabled right from the get-go. When the knob is in the 7 or 8 o' clock (10-30% ish) range, the pre-delay is very very short, such that your eyeballs or camera might not actually pick up the delay light flashing cause it's flashing too rapidly. You will most *definitely* hear the difference in your signal though, as you're overlapping a few dozen reverberations rather than just one, for a much more dramatic effect - fatter and more washed out. A very rapid, modulated delay fed into a distortion (or vice versa, to taste) is actually a great way to achieve some beautiful soundwalls without using reverb at all - or, acoustic purists might argue that a wash of short delays doesn't just approximate a reverb, it literally *is* an emulation of reverberation like you'd hear in a cave or cathedral, as it were....

  • @_lowcountry

    If you dig the cathedral but don't want all the other features or don't have room for it, the holy grail max has a reverse setting as well. I actually got rid of my digiverb for it.

  • @Iodine74
    @Iodine74 7 років тому +2

    Thanks for putting this together. Just got a Digiverb based on this and your other clips to put at the front of my chain and am loving it so far (minus the volume drop). Finding it has a musicality that the reverse and gates in the CD-R-70 don't have, nor the Big Sky.

    • @berlinshoegazer
      @berlinshoegazer  7 років тому +1

    Tried them all as well as the Yamaha spx90 besides the Cathedral. Obviously the Yamaha's are awesome but crazy expensive. Midi verb II blows everything else out of the water IMO. They are probably the cheapest one to buy as well. Spend the extra to buy the midi verb II if you are thinking about purchasing the digitech digiverb - it's well worth it.

The Rv-5 came out on the same time as the hardwire Rv 7 and has awesome reverb sounds! The hof also has a stunning Gated reverb, both v1 and v2, and it’s customizable, bit pricey, but wonderful quality

      I had one once and it sounds exactly like the early slowdive records but I didn't like the overall handling of these racks so much. Single effect pedals or modern multi effects are better to dial in concrete details. But I think everyone has to try out stuff that feels exciting to her/him.

  • @robcerasuolo9207
    @robcerasuolo9207 6 років тому +3

    OK, here's an idea to share.
    I think that very few reverse reverbs actually get a usable sound. I think that in a mix, a time gap between the original input signal and the effect can be fine, but I like how some people get the effect right on the beat. Sometimes, that's done in a DAW during mixing, but I believe there is a way to get it for a live sound as well.
    Some multi-effects units, if not some pedals, in the past have offered a reverse delay. From what I could tell, this was basically done digitally, by taking the first tap of the delay and reversing it before feeding it into the subsequent taps (which were not reversed, for obvious reasons). I read about one person somewhere, who took a single reverse delay tap set to slapback at super-short duration and fed that into a reverb of choice. I'm guessing that this was fully wet, and maybe parallel to a second copy of the input, cuz that's what I'd do. I'm not sure if I ever heard the results of this chain for myself, but I have heard a reverse delay alone once or twice, and it sounds like you might expect. I cannot recall who did it, but I'm pretty sure it was in a guitar magazine a decade or two ago.
    Anyway, I think this would probably make for a much more controllable and customizable reverse reverb effect. Some possible alterations might be to first feed the reverse delay with a very short-duration reverb tail, and then go into another reverb as before; as well as adding chorus or other modulation effects in different spots.
    Has anyone tried this, or have info on where to get ahold of a unit that can do reverse delay? I'm going to scour the online music shops tomorrow and see what I can come up with. I'm thinking that maybe Line 6, Zoom, or TC has it already in something.

    • @berlinshoegazer
      @berlinshoegazer  6 років тому

      Hey Rob, nice and interesting thoughts. Thank you for sharing those.
      It could work but I guess it's still not the real charm of a reversed reverb since those are gated at the effect's end - not fading out like a usual reverb sound. I'm experementing with the EHX Superego at the moment and it is (when the dry signal is turned off in 'auto mode') like an instantly attacking reverse reverb. super easy to handle. only problem is: you can not use the whammy bar as the input signal is kind of looped instead of constantly played by hand. you would need a digitech Whammy or Pitchfork with an expression pedal to fake it.

    • @robcerasuolo9207
      @robcerasuolo9207 6 років тому

      SHOEGAZER
      Gotcha! I guess it's a matter of which order the delay and reverb are in, too. Each sequence will yield different results.
      When you said, "gated at the end," what did you mean? I wasn't too clear on that. I have experience gated reverb sounds, but most of the reverbs I've encountered don't do that. I probably wouldn't use a gated reverb, but compressing it a little bit might be cool.
      I have some other ideas for reverse sounds that would require a DAW, PRE, or other programming functionality to work well. I'm going to try all available ideas to see what works best for me. I'll look into that Superego pedal some more to see how they've done it.
      I'm probably not going to do any of the whammy bar gliding thing, myself, cuz it wouldn't work so well with how I write in most cases (putting it succintly). I think it's cool when it works, though. I'm mostly after being able to use effects to create pad-like sounds. That's how I think about a lot of this stuff. Plus, I probably suck too much at playing to do any more than that--LOL!--so I figure I could make myself useful that way and let someone else do the good stuff.

    • @cyoung7127
      @cyoung7127 6 років тому +1

      I use a Digitech Whammy to simulate a whammy bar and then I run that through a Hoof Fuzz and my Superego, which sounds sounds pretty good. I usually end up tweaking settings on the Superego often though, because the gliss attack is hard to reign in exactly how I want and would prefer to have a good reverse verb in front of it and use the Superego to guide it or give it more definition.

    @ethermod307 3 роки тому +11

    The Cathedral is not an analogue reverb. A real analogue reverb doesn't really exist in pedal form. You'll need a proper spring-reverb tank or a real plate-reverb devices that are really expensive. That doesn't mean the Cathedral doesn't sound good, it sounds great!

    If I stack the Gated Reverb of the Digiverb with the reverse of the Rv-7 do you think I'd be able to emulate the sound of the Bloom setting on the Alesis?

    • @berlinshoegazer
      @berlinshoegazer  2 роки тому +6

      No. Because the Bloom setting has a very long decay time and none of the other two reverbs (gates and reverse) have a long decay time. But if you would add some delay in the end of the chain it could get very close.

    I own the Cathedral, but the slower reverse is kinda not working for me. The reverse on my Alesis Microverb 3 comes in faster and therefore is more controlable for me while playing. How do you compare the reverse from the Polara with those two? Is it coming slower like on the Cathedral or more faster like on the Microverb?
