Delay / Reverb

What does a delay pedal do?

The delay effect is the multiplication of a sound signal. The result is the well-known sound echo effect. That is to say: the delay copies our original signal and reproduces it a few moments later, recreating the typical echo sensation.

The most interesting thing about having a delay pedal is being able to decide how long it takes for the signal to repeat itself. But there are also other curious aspects, such as deciding the number of repetitions and the volume of those repetitions.

The three basic characteristics of delay are:

• Delay time: is the time it takes for an echo to occur, usually measured in milliseconds or synchronized to a tempo.
• Feedback: it is the number of times the sound signal is repeated between any value or to infinity.
• Mix Level: This is the amount of delayed sound that is mixed with the original signal.

Now that you know a little more about the basics, when buying a delay pedal we recommend that you first set a maximum budget. Obviously, the more we can invest in the pedal, the more quality it should provide us, but it is not necessary to spend exorbitant amounts either. At Fanatic Guitars we always work with the best brands to ensure that the quality of the effect and the build quality are the best possible, so you not only get good results, but durability, which is also very important.

What does a reverb pedal do?

Probably the best known effect. Reverb is nothing more than the sound of reflections that a sound produces when it hits a surface. This type of effect allows us several things: from placing the sound of our guitar in space, moving away or closer to the listener, to fattening the sound or generating extreme effects.

There are several types of reverb. If we look at how they “emulate” these reflections, we can start by dividing them into 2: analog and digital. That is, there are pedals that use an analog device or artifact (such as springs, plates, etc.) to reproduce the reflections, and then there are digital ones that simulate them through algorithms using modeling technology. The interesting thing is that digital reverbs are capable of emulating analog ones too, although many still prefer the latter.

In this section you will find all kinds of units, from small formats with a single type of reverb, to more complex units with various options and types of reverb that will exponentially enrich your sound. At Fanatic Guitars we work with the best brands on the market to ensure that whatever product we sell, the quality is beyond any doubt. Quality of the effect and quality of construction, since, although a little more expensive in some cases, the durability of the device is exponentially lengthened, which in the long run saves you a lot of problems and, obviously, money.
