Riki1 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi. What's the best way to put a reverb block in? With pedals it was on the effects loop and the last pedal in my chain. On the Helix I find the reverbs to be inferior but usable, but my band mates have commented that everything sounds "in the background" , like it's too wet or something so I'll turn the mix down to 30% or so but then I lose and real effect of the reverb. It's like I'm taking out the attack of the original guitar tone or something. I then tried to make a split before the delay to the 2 me line down and rejoin before the output and this seems to help. But what is the best way to help with my problem? When I use my amps reverb (fender twin reverb) it sounds great but I want different presets like I can on the Helix.

jbuhajla Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Since you ran it in the effects loop when using pedals, put the reverb before your cab/IR. I have found most of them in Helix to be a bit harsh. I land up moving the high cut on them to about 1kHz, and vary the mix between 20-50% depending on the need. I also generally run it in parallel with the "dry" signal coming out of the amp block. That will keep your articulation, but layer on some reverb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurston9 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 When you run it parallel with the dry signal, do you mix the effect 20-50% or 100% wet and then mix at the signal splits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
