Re: [Harp-L] reverb Question

Hi,
There's quite a few reverb pedals on the market these days you can use, and I alternate going between the long discontinued Guyatone MR-2, and the Digitech Digiverb, which today is still available today for about $100, and I believe you cam order these thru the http://www.musicansfriend.com website and it should qualify as a purchase where the shipping charges would be waived. The Guyatone was great because it was really small, but had a switc h where if you wanted the reverb to affect just the reverb signal alone or both reverb and dry signal, plus a contrast control where with the control all the way to the left, you get a darker, more vintage reverb sound, and tho they didn't have a spring reverb setting, they had small room, large room, hall, and stadium, and the last one was really deep. It used a 9v battery, but as with any digital pedal, I recommend getting an AC adapter so it doesn't go chewing batteries up needlessly, and I use the Boss PSA-120, which has the correct setup for most digital pedals.
The other one, the Digiverb has many different reverbs from plated, gated, room, haal, church, reverse, and spring reverbs. My two favs in this order are the spring reverb and church settings, and the thing about this spring setting is that it actually imitates the pinging of the springs you can sometimes hear on a real spring reverb like what guitar players do (I tested that while playing guitar on the pedal personally for that), and the church can get really deep. However, my favorite outboard reverb unit, the Premier 90, which is an outboard tube reverb, I've yet to see any pedal emulate it because the spring reverbs on pedals now made emulate the '63 Fender tube reverb units, and the deepest reverb on the Fender is barely just 1/3 of the way up on a Premier 90, and that unit was the only unit, when I set it just under half way up, that allowed me to duplicate the reverb used on the 1952/53 Little Walter session that produced Mean Old World, Boogie, Sad Hours, and the two takes of Blue Midnight just like the record, and I'm in the hunt to find one outside of buying a Premier 90.
Anyway, hope this helps.

i'm doing some gigs with a guitarist, who uses the Bose "Stick".  It has 
two imputs for his vocal and guitar.  There's another Quarter in. imput, 
that has no e.q. or effects, so I'm playing through my small unpowered 
Blend 6 mixer.  No reverb.  could some one reccomend a very small and 
not too expensive rebverb unit, that I can run through my aux. loop.  AS 
i'm "sight challenged", I try to keep ethe mixer on a heavy duty music 
stand, next to me and it should be able to fit there.  Any help is 
greatly appreciated.
