Stomp, Mod & Delay/Verb Models • Reverb ModelsRoomsOver the years, inventive recording engineers have pressed all sorts of rooms intoservice as reverb chambers. Stairwells, hallways, and basements have been some of thepopular choices. We’ve tried to present a good cross-section in your Bass PODXT Live.Small RoomAs its name implies, this reverb model will give you the kind of sound you’d get whenrecording an amp that’s mic’d up in a small room. Fortunately, unlike the small roomsthat you might have handy at home, say, this room has well-tuned acoustics, notraffic noise coming from the nearby street, and you don’t have to worry about theupstairs neighbors yelling, “Turn it down!”—don’t you hate it when people ruin agood take like that?6 • 26Tiled RoomThink of this one as recording your bass through an amp in the hall bathroom.All that porcelain has always made for great reverb, and lots of classic recordingswere done by making the saxophone player stand in the ‘necessary’ and wail. Orat least that’s what they told them. Sax players can be so naive.Brite RoomA live, bright room to add life to any bass track.HallsWe’re not talking about the passageway between your living room and bedroom. We’retalking large, cavernous spaces here.Dark HallA large concert hall with many reflections. This one is all about size and is great forthat huge backdrop of reverb that doesn’t get in the way even when turned all theway up.Medium HallA medium sized hall with heavy reflections, this one is meant to be heard.Large HallA very large concert hall. It doesn’t get much bigger than this.
