Best Multi-Mode Reverb Pedals<br />
bit.ly/Multiverbs<br />
If a simple spring reverb is a little too spartan for you, we have compiled<br />
a list of the best multi-function reverb pedals (aka “Multiverbs”) on the<br />
market organized by depth of features and (perceived) popularity. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
range from stompboxes with three or four different reverb flavors to fullblown<br />
workhorses that deliver a dozen ambience algorithms and deep<br />
levels of control. Some are big, some are small, but all will tickle your<br />
craving for the wondrously wet world of reverb.<br />
In this article you’ll find these lists:<br />
1. Multi-Algorithm Reverb Workstations<br />
2. Compact Reverb Pedals with 5 or More Modes<br />
3. Compact Reverb Stompboxes with 3-4 Modes<br />
Best Spring Reverb Pedals<br />
bit.ly/SpringRvb<br />
This list focuses on pedals dedicated to the spring reverb effect, which<br />
is based on a design featuring springs in a little tank that vibrate when<br />
your guitar’s signal goes through them. A pickup mounted inside the<br />
tank picks up those vibrations and sends them back to your amp. <strong>The</strong><br />
spring reverb is an effect associated with the electric guitar sound of<br />
the ’60s, brought to fame, in particular, by surf music, and facilitated by<br />
reverb circuits built inside many vintage amps from that decade. <strong>The</strong><br />
first Fender Reverb Unit was introduced in 1961 and reissued in 2016.<br />
In this article you’ll find these lists:<br />
1. Pedals with Actual Springs<br />
2. Spring Pedals without Springs<br />
3. Mini Spring Reverb Pedals<br />
4. Spring Reverb Pedals with Tremolo<br />
Best Hybrid Reverbs with<br />
Modulation and Fuzz/Distortion<br />
bit.ly/HybridVerbs<br />
Some of the best reverb stompboxes out there are not “pure” reverb circuits,<br />
but feature other effects that are often used with it — without necessarily<br />
being a “do-it-all” reverb workstation. In this article you’ll find reverb<br />
mixed with tremolo and other forms of low-frequency modulation, and<br />
with old-school fuzz, distortion and EQ filtering that lets you emphasize<br />
bass or treble frequencies. While many of the entries in this article feature<br />
both classic and modern styles of reverb, a few are satisfyingly spartan,<br />
allowing you to conjure up vintage ambience by turning just a few knobs.<br />

2. Reverb Pedals with Distortion or Fuzz
