Hi Gary. Thanks for clearing up some confusion about the delay-related effects, and for new info on all the pedals.

Reverb Effects for the Electric Guitar
Hi my name is Gary Schutt. We’re talking about guitar effects, right now it’s an effect called reverb. Reverb gives you a sound as if you’re playing in a small room, large concert hall, and cave, whatever. It’s a very cool thing to have, especially when you’re in a studio. Right now this is my dry signal with distortion and I think I have a small reverb going on here, a very small room reverb. Let’s turn this up a couple notches and here’s a bigger room. Let’s keep going and see what we’ve got. A bigger room. A big room. Really big room. I don’t know where we are, but it’s huge. You can do a cool effect called volume swells, if you have a really long reverb bond, you just take your volume knob, turn it down to zero, fret a note, then turn it on and then let it go.
