basscell Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Hi, Any suggestions on a good reverb pedal for bass? Maybe EHX Hall of Fame (the larger version)? Quote
ProfFrink Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I've been messing with reverbs (mostly on my line-6 m5) and I'm still learning this, but one thing I can say: There's a world of difference between short-time room/hall/IR reverbs that basically just give your sound some "air" and "space" and the cave/infinite/feedback reverbs that really take your sound and sort of create a whole other thing from it. While both are technically just "reverb", musically and functionally these are really two different effects. Quote
elephantgrey Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I would class hall as usually quite a long tailed verb. Im a big fan of plate verbs in general, but think that bass sounds best with a short room verb in a crossover loop. That or a nice long hall or spring verb for ambient sounds. There are also pedals that do 'infinite' verb, which means that you can play a note, and have the verb be sustained theoretically forever. Quote
BassBus Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I use TC Hall of Fame. Lovely warm tone and goes on for ages if you want it to. Video below has it at various lengths on the mod model. http://youtu.be/TJ7_V4V6eeo Quote

If you want that you might be better to go for something like the Neunaber Wet reverb. Plenty of YouTube vids on that. Or even the Strymon Bigsky, if you can afford it.

fretmeister Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 TC for me as well. The software editor is amazingly powerful. You can add modulation to it using the editor and even change the tone / EQ of the verb only part of the signal. Quote

ambient Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 The Hall of fame is really excellent. You can download 'tone prints' off the TC website. The Steve Lawson tone print is excellent. It depends on your budget, I used the Neunaber Wet for a time, that was really nice. I'm currently using an Eventide Space, which is more of a multi-effects, the reverbs are amazing. It's expensive though. Quote
AttitudeCastle Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I also recently tried out the Digitech Polara, and was stunned for the Plate/Halo/Mod/Hall regular type reverb sounds. The Spring is pretty OTT though, but usable! Quote
mSz Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I recommend Old Blood Noise Endeavour Procession. Favourite pedal on my board. It has 3-way switch which allows you to chose between different flavours: tremolo, something like auto-wah and flangy stuff. Check this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE3154OS5c0 Another one would be Earthquaker Devices Afterneath. Haven't tried it but on demos it sounds amazing https://youtu.be/BwPrcFxBaLo?t=41s Quote
Sibob Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 If you want a Shimmer, doesn't get much better than the Mr Black Eterna. The EQD Afterneath is also awesome for modulated madness Si Quote

Works well with an EHX Micro-POG in front of it too Quote
GazWills Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 what do you want a reverb pedal for, specifically? The mr. black eterna, as mentioned above, is great for shimmer, and huge ambient drones. The dispatch master by EQD (my favourite) combines a reverb and delay, and quite versatile. the afterneath seems very interesting, but not so much a traditional reverb. HOF seems to be quite popular, more so for 'traditional' reverb use... lots of good options though! I'm toying with getting an afterneath... Quote

Really good for bass as well with the ability to apply the reverb to certain frequencies and keep the low end clear of mud. Shimmer and Blackhole settings are worth the price of admission alone.
