Reverb, Echo and Delay
Over the weekend I was tweaking a couple of the patches I created in my two digital modelers (Digitech RP 100 & V-Amp2). I found myself not really understanding when to use reverb, delay or echo. Or for that matter, how much to use. I know what they do but can’t pin point down when to each effect.
Presently what I have been doing is dialing in a bit of reverb in all patches as a filler between chord strums or solo notes. Now echo and delay have me a bit confused because they almost sound the same to me. Can anybody give some examples on how you would use these three effects?
