The Death By Audio Reverberation Machine is the dream reverb for interstellar tone chasers and noise makers alike. If you're a fan of dreamy disintegrating ambient textures or massive walls of reverberating sound, then the Reverberation Machine is right up your tonal alley.
The pedal sports a super simple layout with a Volume knob, Altitude knob (which adds grit and distortion), Reverb knob and a Bright/Dark switch, which changes the character of the reverb for bright and bouncy to dark and mellow. But beneath the simple exterior lies a wealth of haunting reverb tones. From simple bread-and-butter spring reverbs, to all immersive ambient tones to completely chaotic fuzzed out reverb tones. It's all there and then some.
This is the perfect pedal for fans of Phil Spector, Mogwai, My Bloody Valentine and William Basinski. A true lo-fi dream machine.

I've to say that. Actually you're the best pedal reviewer out there. 5-10 minutes video, you know the pedals really well, you don't do annoyong blues solos and you seem such a nice dude, really polite and smart. Good job!
Cheers from Italy
Oh wow! Completely blow away by this. Thank you! Think you just brought a manly tear to my eye with your kindness. Rock on, dude. And thanks for watching and commenting
Lol, whats wrong with blues solos? I personally would like hear some bluesy garage rock played thru this thing, demo sounded good though.
@@alexanderkelley2556 The problem is that most of those "blues solos" in UA-cam are not real blues - and even worse, they are totally lacking feeling and soul. But bluesy garage rock can be really great!
this pedal with your playing is so beautiful i could cry
you haven't made a bad demo but this one is particularly fantastic.
Dude! Thank you so much. You just put the biggest smile on my face :D
@@thepedalzone still true in 2023
It's the first time that I see one of your videos. I watched it 3 times, one of the best review I've seen. And it's really nice to see just positive comments. It's quite rare to see that on UA-cam.
Thanks, dude! Really kind of you. Happy to have you here ❤
This has such a unique sound and it's so sick
It is definitely one of the most unique reverbs I've ever played. Such a great pedal for ambient textures :)
Damn it...I was looking for numerous Super Fuzz War demos and stumbled upon this.
Now, I want this too.
As always, great demo and killer playing.
Thanks, dude! Death By Audio are awesome! :)
superb - respect! Love the basinski reference too!
Cheers! Basinski rules!
This review completely appeals to me ....wonderful work. You are clearly a musician.
Thanks, man. That's incredibly kind of you ❤
Ok just a tad late on this video, bah, who's counting the years...lol
I've been loving your content, your clear presentation and energy, your enthusiasm and passion for this, not to mention your excellence in playing, you have this ability to bring out and demonstrate the best features from pedal!
The main reason I wanted to leave a comment was when you mentioned certain bands and artists, referencing their sounds and tones, as those may be the sounds - or similar - one may obtain with this pedal.
That is golden information, for a lot of people can feel overwhelmed by the choices we have out there now, there are so many pedals nowadays it can really be daunting, resulting to buying with trepidation. So, referencing artists as you did here can be very helpful.
I saw another video of yours where you referenced the Cocteau Twins/Guthrie guitar sound, that may have been my intro to your Pedal Zone channel, so glad, I'm learning a ton from you!
I feel every pedal demo should at least reference, even loosely, an artist's sound, be it guitar or synth, etc.
Thanks for all your great work, keep it up!
Gorgeous playing as always! That ending jam (?) is to die for.
Thank you so much
currently binge watching your vides. i don't play w/ pedals but these are so much fun to watch. really cool discovering how much variation there is out there. thanks for these !
Music is what unites us. I'm really happy to hear you enjoy the vids and the sounds even though you're not a pedalhead like me. Makes your kindness even more humbling to me. Thank you ❤
I still find myself coming back to watch this every now and then, Stefan 😁 just in a league of its own!
Unbelievably kind of you, my friend. Thank you!
Such beautiful guitar work - You are the Mozart of Pedal Psychedelics!
Oh wow! That's unbelievably kind of you to say. Thank you ❤
This is some serious gorgeous demo. Came for it, stay and will return for the music. Last jam is stunning. Seriously getting this pronto.
Awwww, man! That is so incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you ❤ It's a really cool pedal. You're gonna dig it 😊
Yo, Stefan, have you ever tried the EHX Cathedral? How would you compare to the DBA Machine? I'm torn between EHX and DBA, I do mostly ambient and I juust love that lo fi detuning sound, I use it along with Timeline dTape delay, DBA seems to have this kind of subtle vibrato in some settings isn't it?
You make the vid! Awesome song/riff arrangement keep playing! Release stuff you speak with the guitar! Must have watched this review like 7 times
Thanks for the kindness, my man! Really happy to hear you enjoy the demo ❤
Just subscribed so I can hear you play!
Awwww! What a heartwarming comment. Thank you for subscribing. Means the world to me!
fantastic demo
Thank you so much :)
nailed...once again with one of my fav!! funny how the volume knob is down...like mine!
Délivrance - Thank you so much, man! Yeah, that pedal has A LOT of output. Great if you wanna push your amp and pedals that come after it, but you have to keep that sucker way down if you want unity gain :)
Your playing really sells this pedal.
Super kind of you!
Mogwai!! Christmas steps on Come on die young is the jammy jam🤘🏽
franklin Alvarez - Sure is 👌
Holy shit man! I forgot I was watching a pedal demo by the end of it...
That's amazing! Thank you 🙏
I'm diging the Sigur Ros vibes on this guitar playing!!!
Kevin Polochak - Thank you so much. It's one of my favorite bands :)
You're editing and layout is awesome! Love this pedal.
Thank you! Very kind of you ❤
SOLD ME ON THIS PEDAL - it just now need to be able to afford it. Subscribed! x
Honored, man. Thanks for subscribing, and I hope you'll be able to get the pedal soon. It's super rad ☺
Great demo, and thanks for letting us know exactly what to expect from a pedal or another. My credit card may not thank you tho, for now i want that reverb very bad..
I bought this pedal recently thanks to your review and from day one I'm loving it. So I owe you! ;)
That's too cool, man!! I'm happy for you 😊
i have this pedal and love it
Happy to hear that. It's such a rad device
Beautiful demo and I want to try this pedal :)
Nathan Shafer - Thank you so much! You would definitely make awesome things with it
Incredible demo, man! Keep up the great work
Awwww, man! Thank you! ❤
that was nice, man
Thank you so much!
Awesome! And you have the Oliver haircut!
Thanks! I did yeah!
oh, that Daughter part. You got me!
Awesome Demo and nice playing. :)
Thank you very much :) Daughter part though? where?
very great playing man!
Thank you kindly ❤️🙏
This is the third demo i see of this pedal. The other ones were super-fancy clips full of cute and hipster graphics but almost useless in practice. This one is well played, informative and gives you a clear idea of a "difficult" pedal like this. Cheers, mate and thank you!
Not going to lie, first time to this channel and I subscribed just because of that last jam before the ending. That sounded awesome! Going to be checking the other videos you have put out!
Thank you for the kind comment and for subscribing. Means a ton to me! Hope you'll find enjoyment in the videos here :)
The problem is that you can make any pedal sound good with your ability to create dreamy and clever melodic compositions. I get pulled in, not only by the stella effect, but by the mood of the song. I need to attend your master class!!!!
Too kind of you. Thank you so much ❤
I think this pedal was made for you, Stefan. :-) It sounds amazing when you play through it.
Elgn Arney - I definitely do feel a connection between me and this pedal. Really happy you enjoyed the tones. It's such a unique and inspiring pedal :)
Nice snow or dust from 2:20 : )
It's easy to imagine you as an actor. In a bit sad or existential film probably. Maybe something from the 90's. Generation x and all that.
jonas eggen - That's all I've ever wanted to hear my entire life. Thank you so much! :)
Very special pedal. Only issue I have with mine is that it can be hard to manage the huge volume on tap once you start playing with the altitude knob. Great for pushing ods, but on its own you have to be very precise with knob positioning so it won't overpower everything
Tiago Pedroso - It is indeed highly unique and yes it has a lot of output. You just have to accept it for what it is. An interstellar sledgehammer :)
Great video. Beautiful piece. You do very positive and helpful reviews. Not great for my budget though.
Awwwww! Thank you so much. Means a lot to me 🙏
this man very psychedelic. see he play damn. so good
Thanks, man! But I think it's more the pedal that's psychedelic than me 😊
I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!
Thank you :)
please release a album unless you have . what great music
Love this video and that reverb pedal. Please PLEASE do the new Reverb Sustain with Wet Knob pedal from “Gamechanger Audio Pedals”!!!
Thanks, man! Happy you enjoyed it ☺
Death by audio pedals are beautifuly ugly and dirty...cool stuff here man
They sure are! Happy you enjoyed the demo ❤
I would like to see videos of you playing your original material and you can show what pedals you use.
Honestly I think you would do well with just playing your music, enough of your subscribers are fans of your playing. I would love to listen while I'm driving and on the train. People watching downtown or sitting in a coffee shop. You're a great reviewer, I would keep it up but I think I'm a bigger fan of your music and I'm not the only one.
Well, that’s kind of you to say, and I’m honored you would want to listen to something like that. But the truth is that so far my demos and tutorials are my original material. Everything I play in my videos are 100% custom made pieces for the particular pedals inspired by those pedals. I currently have no aspirations to make a solo album. I prefer making music with other people, and I do have some band project records out there, which you are more than welcome to listen to 😊 But so far I pour everything that’s me and my music into my videos here. I like how this format lets me merge my love for playing pedals, talking about pedals and making music. I of course always want to evolve and make different kinds of demo content, so perhaps there will be content like you describe in the future. But for now, it’s all about specific pedals and how they inspire me 😊👌 Thank you for the input, man. Have a great day ❤️🙏
Sorry if someone already asked this but I was wondering if you had the pedal plugged into the front of the amp or the effects loop? Super appreciate if you see this and are able to respond. Thanks!
The pedal is going directly into the amp. I very rarely mess with fx loops 😊
I love your demos! In your opinion, what are your favorites reverbs to put before drive for shoegaze? I was actually thinking about the Keeley Loomer or the DBA Reverberation Machine (I already have two fuzzes on my board but I liked the soft focus mode in the Loomer)
This is some Beautiful playing here, A+
Listened 3 times now, is this your material?
Humbled and honored. Thank you 🙏 Yes, I make these videos and write all the playing examples myself
@@thepedalzone quite welcome Sir! Keep sharing your gift.
Amazing as always! What tuning are you in?
Thanks, man! That demo is so old that I can’t really remember what tunings I used. But I didn’t really experiment that much with open tunings back then, so it’s probably either just E standard or Drop D 👍
Awesome demo Stefan! I just have a quick question about this pedal. Does the gain ONLY effect the reverb signal like the Meteore?
Thank you very much! :) The gain in the Reverberation Machine affects the the dry signal as well as the reverb. I've actually made a video that compares the EQD Levitation, Caroline Météore and DBA Reverberation Machine. You might find that one interesting to watch :)
Incredible, thoughts on this vs the Ghost Echo ?
Cheers! If you want a dirty lo-fi reverb then go for the Reverberation Machine. If you want a warm wintage-sounding reverb that can almost cross into the land of oil-can delays, then get the Ghost Echo
Wonderful demo. I bought this pedal used . I like it a lot but i was not sure about the volume level . I must keep it at very low level else it sounds very very loud . I believed that the pedal was broken because i ve not to move it of some millimeter .
But in your video i see you keep volume level very low too . So maybe my pedal is not broken?
I ve to say that you re my reference point about pedal gears.
Could you please do the Echo Dream 2?
Torn between this and the Caroline Meteore for my lofi spring needs. Any advice much appreciated!
Ah, nevermind; I just found your comparison video; great!
Haha. Yeah, I would have suggested you watch that vid anyway 😊👍 Let me know if you have any questions, and do let me know what you end up with 👌
When do we know who's won the space spiral delay by EQD
Flynn Hanbury Tenison - Dude, all the details are in the official giveaway video here on UA-cam. July 21st :) I'll announce it around 4pm my time.
anybody ever compare this to mantic proverb? Love my proverb but love the grit in this one.
I haven't played the Mantic Proverb, but since it's also a Belton Brick reverb, there will be some tonal similarities in the way the reverb sounds and reacts. The Mantic seems to be able to get a way longer decay though. So having both could be a nice option. Using the Mantic for long sustaining ambient pads, and then using the Reverberation Machine for noisy disintegrating textures :)
awesome! the fuzz is before or after the reverb? :o
if you had to choose: This or the Caroline Meteore ?
GDmetallic - It's two very different reverbs. Depends on your style of playing. But for me personally, Reverberation Machine is a perfect texture machine. Something I would combine with a more standard reverb. Whereas the Météore is a bit more all round. But that's just my personal opinion aimed at my personal needs. Don't know what you need :)
thanks man.
I just wanted to hear an opinion from someone who owns and knows how to use both of them.
Currently I got a Dispatch Master from EQD, and i got a pretty standard and subtle setting on that, and i think i need a giant wall of dark reverb in my life, so i was thinking of the caroline or dba because of the distorted nature of these two.
anyway, thanks for your answer man!
GDmetallic - No problem. The distortion only affects the reverberated signal on the Météore whereas it affects the dry signal on the Reverberation Machine. So keep that in mind when making your decision :)
I’m trying to decide between these two as well. I was sure I was going to get the Meteore until I found this...
I love your playing. Do you have music available for purchase anywhere?
Thank you very much! Don't have any solo music out. But you're welcome to check out my old bands Sky Architects and Cloud Anthems, as well as my current band Don't Come Looking For Us. They of course don't sound like me. They sound like a band. But there's sprinkles of my playing in there. You can find it on Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify etc etc etc
3:28 needs a song record
Is around 2:40 just the guitar into the pedal or do you have other effects going through as well?
Yup, it’s only the Reverberation Machine that’s in action. No other pedal is used.
@@thepedalzone do you use it through an effects loop?
Waiting for this weeks Video? Do you post every Thursday?
Marco Gallerin - I post whenever I have a video ready. Don't have anything ready yet. Been a busy week :)
Right on man, well looking forward to the next one!!!
you use a fender delixe reverb amp?? is it a tube amp??
kingofprunes - Yes to both questions :)
I can't decide between this and the MÉTÉORE (both pedalzone demos are outstanding but leaning toward DbA). Someone help me out. I play dirty mostly.
The DBA is brighter and more jangly than the Météore. Plus its drive circuit also affects your dry tone, whereas the drive circuit in the Météore only affects the wet signal. So keep that in mind. Personally I feel like the Météore is more lush, warm and atmospheric, whereas the Reverberation Machine is a very lively and granular. Hope that helps.
Hey, Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the differences here. I have a Context which is pretty but standard (plate is my go to). But always on the look out for something with more character or grit. I guess I'm now leaning towards the DBA! Thanks again.
What other pedal is used to make that background melody at 1:56 ?
andrew meyer - That’s just a Looper. I recorded a loop, which I then manipulate with the Reverberation Machine :)
ThePedalZone hey thanks for the reply man! I gathered that but it sounds like there's some modulation going on, that's all from the reverberation machine?
The only effect being used is the Reverberation Machine, yes. The loop was recorded completely clean without any other effects :)
volumen knob doesnt work on mine. the same for you? iguess
+Mauricio Cook - My volume knob works too well. There's a ton of output on that thing. That's why I have it set so low throughout the demo :)
Hi friend, this pedal worth the money in 2023?
I think so. There's a lot of other dirty Belton Brick Reverb pedals out there now, but the Reverberation Machine still has a unique voice of its own due to its gritty fuzz circuit.
@@thepedalzone Thank you friend. I just bought mine today, in an amazing opportunity. Well, I'm a big fan of your work, a cheers from Brazil.
Question... this, meteore or rever ?
reverberation machine for me...let your ear choose for you!!!!
What's the riff in the intro? Thanks
Péter Kovács - Just something I made up for the demo :)
Well done, Stefan!
use your vacuum cleaner, please.
P.S. - cool review, thank you!
Mikhail Rakaev - LOL! Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! ;)
Happy you liked the tones!
MBV dont use reverb dude. Please dont disinfo effects!
A Tree - Sure they do. They used the Yamaha SPX 90 and Alesis MidiVerb constantly. But that wasn't the point. I didn't claim that they used Reverb pedals. I just said that this pedal might appeal to fans of MBV based on its ability to create massive walls of sound. Didn't say it was MBV in box :) But thanks for watching and commenting. Have a nice day!
they use reverse reverb. but never wet sounds. ever. thanks for commenting back x
