mountain2012 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm not an effects guy but would like to add some reverb to my sound using the Pod HD for recording and through headphones. I've gone through the reverb options but can't seem to get something that sounds like a 12' x 13' room. I'm looking for just a touch of reverb that adds some realism to the sound. Could you please recommend some settings that might fit the bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchguitarist Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I would suggest to record your guitar without reverb and add the reverb in the mixing stage. That way you have the flexibility to experiment with various options. I dont you if your DAW supports VST, but if it does there are plenty free reverbs available on the internet.

duncann Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Have you tried the early reflections setting on the amp? That may be enough of what you're looking for. Or try the room reverb. Mess around with the settings, particularly the decay, and keep the mix rather low, anywhere from 5% to 20%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 While I agree with "record dry and add reverb after" for most situations, it isn't always how you want it to sound. So, for the other situations --- My goto hard rock patch runs a ping pong delay before the reverb: Plate Decay 35 pre delay 4ms tone 55 mix 27 my goto clean sound runs an analog chorus before the amp then reverb room decay 60 pre delay 100ms tone 50 mix 50 May not be what you are looking for, but it is a start.
