Mmm, that seems to be what I'm going for.

Could you put up a example of you making some sounds through the various reverb modes? Maybe combine a few with the delay? That would be awesome! :D

go to http://www.micahwetzel.com and than go to the MUSIC page. The song "road lonely" has a lot of reverb echo effect on it. It was recorded through my PA so that is basically the sound you would get live. THe only difference is i used a boss dd3 rather than dd5.

Yeah, that might be somewhat of what I'm after, I would make it a whole lot more dry though. Gets a bit muddy in the recording, but since a live setup is what I'm looking for (got great reverb VST plugs) that doesnt really matter since its obvious that it sounds better live.

ya i know what you mean. Thats what i realized after the recording was done. A little too much effect. You get the general idea at least. I dont even think i really need the pedal since i have all those reverb effects built into the mixer but it SEEMS to go well together. who knows.....

A mixer were one choice for me but they are too large, even the smalles ones. Plus the RC20XL Looper I use got two inputs so I mix there and have one output to the house.

im not for sure but i wouldnt think much. They can maybe make it down to having warmer reverb for vocals or something to that effect but im not certain. On mixers the delays and reverbs take effect for both guitar and vocals in most cases and you can adjust the amounts of reverb. i use guitar pedals for vocals so i would assume not much difference but im no expert.

Difference is only in what they were designed to be used as.

Boss designs there reverb for rocksolos and stuff like that, therefore they skip warmness and add lots of spaceiness with no delay.

I want a warm, medium spaciness setting with a little delay.

In general all guitar effects works well with vocals. A signal is a signal after all. In fact, it should be mandatory for singers to have some sort of EQ for their voice, boards and mixers are fine but a 7-10band EQ is way better for cutting noise and adjusting vocals to the venue. You'd be surprised how much my Boss GE-7 does for me.

I'm hooked on Boss because I like the design and the idea of effects that have gone through a lot of testing, I mean every pedal in their line-up has gone through changes and different models over the years. But a lot of other brands are both cheaper and better in some cases, digitech X-seriesare awesome for example.

Overdrives + boosts + flangers = bad feedback if used with a mic. :lol:

Hmm, yeah, Ill check it out. Isnt it very big though? Or is it just the Big Muff Pi that is big? Ive always thought that electroharmonix only make huge pedals, for a reason unknown to me.

For just a reverb thats too big for me. I carry my stuff by foot so it has to be small. If the Big Muff was smaller I would probably have one.

sorry to bring back an old thread, but since you mentioned Howie Day...the tech guy at the forums over there swears by the Alesis Nanoverb. I don't have much experience with it, but i didn't see it mentioned so i figured i'd let you check it out.
