bsheen Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Anyone have any idea how to get the a mono reverb...specifically spring? I'd like it to sound like its straight up the middle as if it was coming from the cabinet. But no matter where I put it. seems to wash out to the left and right. I have tried this with the faders in the mixer with zero pan and with 100% pan. No difference. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsheen Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 not 100% sure, I should try it at some point.. if you put the reverb before an amp model (even bypassed in off mode, but still present), you should get a mono-ized reverb.. alternatively you could put a (mono) noise gate (adjusted in order to not affect the sound) after the reverb.. Definitely does not work before the amp. Well let me reiterate. Its does work however your signal going into the amp is processed with reverb which gives a strange sound in most normal uses.

phil_m Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 alternatively you could put a (mono) noise gate (adjusted in order to not affect the sound) after the reverb.. This is what I was going to recommend. The other thing is that if you just use one of the 1/4" outputs, everything will be summed to mono.

bsheen Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I will try the mono effect after the reverb and see how that works. As I said, I KNOW putting it in front of the amp works to make it mono, but it is adding reverb to your guitar before it goes into the amp, which to my knowledge in an actual amp that has reverb built in, its placed after the distortion correct? Maybe that is manufacture specific or model specific... I prefer the L/R 1/4" outs just because I do like to add a ping pong delay after the reverb.

bsheen Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 can you explain me what's the point to mix to mono a stereo reverb FX if you are going to put a stereo ping pong delay after it? mix to mono a stereo reverb FX if you are going to put a stereo ping pong delay after it? I guess I just like the sound of the ping pong delay? As much as possible (within the confinements of the PODHD), I always try to build my tones as though it were being miked up in a studio environment, signal path etc. So, in my mind if you were sticking a mic in front of say a Fender Twin with the reverb turned on, the signal is mono. A ping pong delay would be added to the signal after it. Keep in mind, I don't play out and I play a majority of the time through headphones. When I record I usually turn all post amp effects off (except reverb) and use effects within my DAW. The ping pong I use in a preset is usually just for jamming along with stuff.

bsheen Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Update...I just tried what you said about the noise gate after the reverb. That's what I've been looking for!!!! Its great! Thanks you so much! 4 years with this and still learning things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
