Just like John Mayer didn't say, ’Verb is a Verb

Welcome to the show. Following our recent show on 10 Delay Things… yes, here are 10 Reverb Things! Except somehow we manage to make it nine thanks to our ongoing commitment to kindergarten-level planning and execution. Ahem.

Anyway, Dan and I have learned a great deal about reverb over the life of this show, most of which we’re sharing today.

Hopefully the discussion and demos inspire some ideas for your own rigs and playing!

Enjoy the show…
