Netfly Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I really don't understand why the reverb, any kind of reverb on my HD500 sound soooo bad. Whatever the reverb I use, it sounds like I play in an "iron box". It's horrible!! I played around with all kind of reverbs and parameters without success. It sounds like crap. :blink: Do you have some advice to use correctly the reverb on POD HD or something magical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apologist Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Where are you placing the reverb in your chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netfly Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 This is an example of patch I'm working on. I generally put the reverb at this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneman2121 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 you have the decay up to 80% i hate to think what you have the mix set at 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tboneous Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 you have the decay up to 80% i hate to think what you have the mix set at Hee-Hee! Netfly- Decay @ 80 is a bit much. Also, you are using a Hall reverb. I have questions.... Why Hall reverb? Are you using headphones? Are you using an amp? If you are using an amp, what amp is it? I have other questions, but lets start there. I like using the room reverb and the spring reverb together in my patches. Sounds more realistic to me. None of the amps that the HD models has a Hall reverb on it. Try to pick a reverb that matches the amp model that you are using. Also, take a look at the E.R in the DEP. That may be getting in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netfly Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 In this case I was trying the decay to 80%, yes. But using decay with 30% don't give me a better quality sound as i want. No matter what kind of reverb I use, chamber, hall, room, plate, etc i still playing in an "iron box". I play generally with headphone. When I record with repear all sound good but not the reverb that's is horrible. When I play with my DT25 I prefer the reverb of the amp that is amazing but I at this time I need to use the reverb on the POD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneman2121 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 i think your using too much reverb, if as you say it, sounds like your playing in a metal box. what are the settings for the reverb you are using that give this effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tboneous Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Set up channel B on your DT 25 with a clean tone that you like with no fx other than the amp reverb. Match that tone on the pod again with no fx other than a reverb. (I'd try spring first). then A/B the pod with channel B by turning on/off the amp model. Since you like the reverb on the amp, this might help pinpoint the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
