I recently heard something—without knowing what reverb it was—and remarked how much I liked it and how much it suited the sound source. “Damn that’s my kind of reverb.”
Then the poster mentioned it was done on an Octatrack and it was the Dark Reverb. My jaw dropped. I guess I like the sound of not-that-high-fi reverbs!
I’m still going to grab some high-end reverb pedal for the cue send… I like high-end reverbs also, I just think each one has its character and that higher-end is not always better for all musical applications.
My Octatrack MKII has arrived in the city. I will take delivery of it in mere days. I’m ruthlessly excited.
