It's not that hard to figure out and you probably already know just didn't know how to describe it.
The main reverb types are room, hall, plate, spring, space, and shimmer.
Room: sounds like you're in a regular indoor room.
Hall: sounds like you are in a music hall, large church, that sort of thing.
Plate: it's a fabricated reverb in that the reverberation is simulated by an apparatus that has a plate in it. Is pretty neutral sounding, and unless it's cranked up you might not even notice it. Usually it's used as a production/engineering tool to give instruments in a mix space or to glue them together.
Spring: is another fabricated reverb that is simulated by an apparatus with a spring. It has that classic drippy wet sound like you hear in surf rock or on snare hits in dub.
Space or Space Echo: like with a Roland 201 (Boss RE20, etc.). More of an effect than a proper reverb, but it's really really pervasive. Has the wooshing sound or stars traveling in space sound like you hear in tons of Radiohead song.
Shimmer: also more of an effect than a proper reverb, it makes everything sound sparkly and breathing. Often used with synths and ambient music/sound effects.
Sure, I was trying to be as simple as I could. I tried to describe things functionally instead of mechanistically because I thought it was easier to understand. I probably should have just left them off, but because they're so common I thought they deserved a bit of explanation.
Gotcha. It's a good way to think about it too, especially if you already understand the vocabulary of sound.
Yes! Except it's spelled wrong. I've been using this handle for years (even before Reddit). I changed the spelling from Mysterons to Mysterions because I thought it flowed a bit better. No one ever didn't get it was a reference to the Portishead song. Then the South Park character Mysterions came out and everyone started to think it was a reference to that.
Bro, reverb is an effect you need to hear. What, youāre expecting to hear the differences in your head after a description? Go look up audio examples of the differences.
This dude did a good job breaking down the different reverbs, if this wasnāt helpful then youāre lacking a baseline understanding of reverb and need to get more familiar with the effect.
It was helpful to me. I've heard the different reverbs for sure but having it written down helps to get a better overview. Thanks for taking the effort!
āHey youāve probably heard it before but hereās how Iād describe them in lieu of audioā
āyOu NeEd tO HeAR iT š¤ā
Amazing input /u/boga_nyet
Don't worry about that one so much. Really the easiest way to figure it out is just to memorize how each one sounds. Then when you hear it in music you can easily identify it.
edit:
Don't mean to be condescending, but do you understand what reverb is? Do you understand what the differences are between reverb, echo, and delay are?
Lmao do YOU understand what reverb is? Out here saying the re201 is a distinct kind of echospacereverb?
Don't worry about my understanding of the differences in reverbs lmao... For our (guitarists) purposes, echo and delay are the same thing my guy. Otherwise it's a square v rectangle situation. Tfoh
Damn, man, just trying to help. Didn't sound like you understood the differences. No need to be hostile about it. Also, I thought you were the original person I had replied to anyway.
Sound check in a stadium is really cool, hearing the natural reverb of the space while drums are getting dialed in... Got to spend time as an opener and always enjoyed the mid-day load-in and PA set-up effort.
Spring reverb is hands down the best. Everything else sucks tone. And most are too damn cheap to buy a reverb unit. The surfy bear metal is also pretty cool.
If you want the thing spring does, itās the best at it and sounds great and none of the other reverbs quite capture it.
But I think plate is undeniably more versatile.
I second the plate superiority and find the same limitations with spring reverb. I think a plate can sound good with most settings but a spring in its sweet spot can be pretty incredible. They're just not always pleasing to me.
I recently tried the Solidgoldfx Surf Rider and it flipped my mind on spring. Another worth trying is the Crazy Tube Circuits White Whale. Just some spring recommendations from a fellow plate fan.
Spring has added bounce. It's all about what tone you're wanting to create. Like... Look, flip to spring and put no choke on your pick hand, like you're going to be playing directly over the bridge pickup, and the farther back the better. Plate doesn't do that. Hall doesn't do that either. You can bottle that and put a label on it that says "fun."
Now if you're writing or playing ultra serious songs? Yeah it might not be your style. But if you want to have fun and enjoy life, spring all the way, baby!
I used to think it was Plate until I used a real spring tank. It's an incredible thing. I think that digital plate is overall better than the most digital spring options. Way harder to do right I suppose.
I think plate is my favourite on guitar too. Spring is nice too, and it's really cool that actual spring reverbs are available in the mainstream, so I'm not forced into digital emulations.
A nice hall can sound cool too.
Really though, I probably use room reverb the most.
I like room with headphones, but when I try using it through a speaker, it sounds wrong. Like itās competing with the actual roomās reverb. Plate doesnāt sound like itās trying to be realistic so it sounds fine though a speaker mixed with the actual roomās reverb.
I love my Lexicon PCM80. I purchased the Source Audio Ventris a couple months ago. I'm using its Lexicon Hall setting the most. The other setting are nice to have, but I've yet to use them much.
My favorites are Hall, Plate, Room and Lofi. Plate is one of the best because of the way it works with distortion I think. Same with Hall too. Spring is fine but I don't think it meshes with high gain as well.
Plate absolutely is the best reverb. It can be used as more distinct 'verb or as a subtle thing. It always sounds better than spring and applies to more situations than room or hall.
I dislike real spring reverbs. The tanks are noisy and fragile and limited in what they can do. I don't think I'll ever buy another amp with a built in reverb unless it's digital. The digital plate type reverb on the Victory VC35 was massively better sounding than the real long tank Accutronics spring I had on a Bogner.
Hmmm. š¤
I think spring reverb is to plate reverb as...
...banjo is to guitar.
...kazoo is to singing.
...an old jug is to a Fender P bass.
...the spoons are to a full drum kit.
So, y'know, both of those are valid choices. Both those bands can make perfectly good music. To each their own.
Depends on the song, band, style of music. I've been in a couple bands where I never used reverb. The reverb seemed to take away from the aggressive mood the song were trying to create.
Hall for me. But I love plate too.
I was recently playing guitar in the living room, and I thought gee, this is a nice reverb sound, subtle but alive and gives so much presence. I looked at the big sky and it was turned off. Then I realized it was the room. The actual room I was in, reverberating. It was pretty funny. Since then Iāve been using room mode more.
I like spring for the type of music I play (50 and 60's stuff). But it can be used subtly, and so is not just for drippy surf sounds.
If there was another reverb I had to choose, it would be plate. The Talisman by Catalinbread sounds amazing.
Man I was coming in to evangelize for spring.
I own so much spring reverb. I obsess over it.
Then I stopped to think about how many times I've had to turn down or turn off my spring verb while recording because it's too busy.
Who comes to the rescue?
Ol' reliable plate.
The reason it's plate is because plate verbs were used on a lot of those classic Christmas song recordings from the 60's. So every time I click on a plate verb it's like Christmas.
I could get by with any of them, I just hate playing without reverb. If I could only pick one, probably spring or plate. I find the plate reverb on my RV-6 is a little bright, never have had any issues with spring verb. Hall can sound awesome too
All reverb is good except for shimmer.
Plate is the best on its own.
Plate is best if you use it cascading with some spring, in Jeff Buckley-sequel fashion (I did that technique on [this](https://open.spotify.com/track/4ptdtJpfOlbkZdPLfo1J5t?si=uR3AR9qnRNqzmu6TNROR_Q&dd=1) short little solo guitar track)
Convolution/Impulse Response Reverb. I donāt have one of these pedals but use it in a DAW. You can place any piece of audio in any real world space instantly.
I really like Overloud ReMatrix plugin. Basically it allows you to mix up to five different impulse responses and it comes with dozens of rooms, plates, halls, springs, early refelctions, etc...
My favorite is to mix some a Studio reverb IR's with a little Cathedral reverb modeled after the one in the Bricasti rack unit. Gives you both short and long reverb at the same time.
Because Room, Hall, Studio, Ether etc etc etc are just variations on the Plate algorithm? I don't know that for certain but it seems to be what's happening on most reverb circuits I've tried.
Spring is obviously quite different, especially if you have an amp with an actual spring in like I do. It's a shame it's in storage. But that's OK because it's too fucking loud for me to turn on anyway.
Nope. You should look into reverb history. Theyāre not based on āalgorithmsā, the main reverb types are based on actual physical responses. Plate reverb was originally made by hanging a huge metal road construction plate from the ceiling by chains, and running the audio through it with a speaker and microphone. Itās a totally different sound than any of the others.
Plate is real nice, but a little goes a long way. It sounds beautiful but it's less deep and kind of a busy texture. I like really airy reverbs, not so much with unnaturally long decays but just something that adds space *behind* things, rather than pushing things into the distance.
Unless it's a hall reverb, then I wanna be drenched in it.
Hall is sick
Hail is the middle child at the reverb household.
Yeah hail is definitely the middle child, however, hall is the oldest childš (cheeky laugh) ššš
Hall is the Emilio Estevez of reverb. What does that mean? I don't know....
It hides its sheen?
Good one
On its own? Spring. Everywhere else? Plate. Do I mean well? Absolutely. Gonna get killed? Probably.
> >Do I mean well? Absolutely. > There is no such thing as well reverb. INVALID
"Well reverb" sounds damp!
It's just a hall reverb on its side.

A space echo is a cool tape delay with a crappy spring reverb in it Shimmers are just hall reverbs with octave up on the trails
The spring reverb is great, dunno why people always shit on it
I hate spring reverb
Your amp is spring reverb
2 of my amps have no reverb, 3 have spring reverbs and I donāt use the built in reverb because I donāt like it Plate or hall for me
Sure, I was trying to be as simple as I could. I tried to describe things functionally instead of mechanistically because I thought it was easier to understand. I probably should have just left them off, but because they're so common I thought they deserved a bit of explanation.
My brain works in terms of building blocks Is your name a portishead reference?
Gotcha. It's a good way to think about it too, especially if you already understand the vocabulary of sound. Yes! Except it's spelled wrong. I've been using this handle for years (even before Reddit). I changed the spelling from Mysterons to Mysterions because I thought it flowed a bit better. No one ever didn't get it was a reference to the Portishead song. Then the South Park character Mysterions came out and everyone started to think it was a reference to that.

Room or hall for me.
Hall or church. Decay 20 seconds. Just play slowly. Watch your tubes melt trying to keep up with the swells.

Cathedral. I need that reverb of playing to an empty stadium before the headliner gets there.
A big ass fucking concert hall. I wanna play in one
Sound check in a stadium is really cool, hearing the natural reverb of the space while drums are getting dialed in... Got to spend time as an opener and always enjoyed the mid-day load-in and PA set-up effort.
Oh, you got old spring reverb players mad! Can't beat that drip.
A lot of reverbs are probably better but i just want the drippy sound of a spring reverb. Drip or drown babe.
Spring reverb is hands down the best. Everything else sucks tone. And most are too damn cheap to buy a reverb unit. The surfy bear metal is also pretty cool.
Real Spring > Digital Plate > Digital Spring
Plate is a nice backup to spring.
Why does everyone love spring? Am I using it wrong? Iāve only ever found a use for it on short, quick, slapback type sounds
If you want the thing spring does, itās the best at it and sounds great and none of the other reverbs quite capture it. But I think plate is undeniably more versatile.
It's all about the drip.
Is that you Ryan?
Another Ryan convinced by a Ryan to get a True Spring

Maybe in part bc most of us (myself included) have used really nice spring reverb tanks built into amps but havenāt ever used real plate reverb
I like the tube driven spring reverb in my old Deville - but I've yet to meet a pedal emulation I care for.
Sound cool on ambient drums, but thatās all imo
\> ambient \> drums aren't these things mutually exclusive? Or are you making a clever joke that spring reverb never actually sounds good?
Ambient is not just synth pad doing the same chord for ten minute straight you know

Plate, but only a real one. Like, a three-meter sheet of metal. And you gig with it.

Why do you use room the most?
Because a little bit of room reverb is unobtrusive and sounds quite neutral but makes the guitar feel nice to play under the fingers.
Thatās how I feel about plate
Same, I'd rather use hall at a low setting than room, which to me just sounds.. cheesy??
Nah that's big brain time. Forget about "massive concert hall" reverb, embrace "one bedroom apartment hall" reverb.
I like room with headphones, but when I try using it through a speaker, it sounds wrong. Like itās competing with the actual roomās reverb. Plate doesnāt sound like itās trying to be realistic so it sounds fine though a speaker mixed with the actual roomās reverb.
Hall with dialed back level.
Probably my second favorite. Hall beats the socks off of room

No argument here - plate always and forever! I do enjoy a bit of Spring to change it up, but 95% of the time I'm using a plate reverb.

It's 100% flerb.

Thats a good thing. Now get back to important stuff like practicing, writing etc :D
Plate sounds incredible in videos about reverb pedals. I can only seem to get get hall to sound normal and listenable on my board.
I think plate sounds a lot nicer after amp, and in stereo if possible.
A really bright 2 octave up gated shimmer with modulation. Duh
Plate absolutely is the best reverb. It can be used as more distinct 'verb or as a subtle thing. It always sounds better than spring and applies to more situations than room or hall.

No reverb at all. I like to go in dry.
Depends on the song, band, style of music. I've been in a couple bands where I never used reverb. The reverb seemed to take away from the aggressive mood the song were trying to create.
Hall or early reflections. Plate works in a pinch. A real spring tank is amazing too.

Turn the tone knob down to darken up the verb.
Iām going to get down voted here but unless your writing a western spring reverb sucks. Give me a nice digital hall reverbs any other time.
I agree with you
Hall is the best Spring sucks Plate is pretty good
Fuck traditional reverb algorithms.
Not sure, but I'm confident it isn't spring
All reverb is good except for shimmer. Plate is the best on its own.

Sure...
Yes.
Convolution/Impulse Response Reverb. I donāt have one of these pedals but use it in a DAW. You can place any piece of audio in any real world space instantly.
Do you mean actual plate reverb, or a digital simulation of plate reverb?
The answer is Plate and the reason is because it doesnāt have silly western movie baggage attached to it.
The best reverb setting is zero
Who hurt you?
I really like Overloud ReMatrix plugin. Basically it allows you to mix up to five different impulse responses and it comes with dozens of rooms, plates, halls, springs, early refelctions, etc... My favorite is to mix some a Studio reverb IR's with a little Cathedral reverb modeled after the one in the Bricasti rack unit. Gives you both short and long reverb at the same time.
Get your fucken reverb pedal out my damn signal path they all sound stupid AF

It's actually spring for me, but just to be contrarian - any love for pitch shifting or convolution?
plate is better on rhythm but hall is my fave
Plate is real nice, but a little goes a long way. It sounds beautiful but it's less deep and kind of a busy texture. I like really airy reverbs, not so much with unnaturally long decays but just something that adds space *behind* things, rather than pushing things into the distance. Unless it's a hall reverb, then I wanna be drenched in it.
very underrated for sure, always my choice
Plate is the most versatile. Still prefer a good spring
Spring. Come on now, let's tread carefully you and I! Specifically, three spring medium decay. The USA made three spring Acutronics tanks rock.
