Fuzz reverb order.

Fuzz reverb order.

Today we are bending the rules and getting wacky with our signal chain. Traditionally reverb is placed near the end of your chain, but you can get a dramatically different sound by running it before dirt, or in our case Frybread Fuzz. Join us as we explore the differences!

0:00 – 0:16 Bypass riff A.

We will begin with a brief demonstration of the bypass signal to get a reference for the clean sound.

0:17 – 0:36 Frybread fuzz no reverb.

Next, let’s see hear Frybread Fuzz without any reverb to get a feel for the level of dirt we are working with.

0:37 – 1:41 Alternating reverb and fuzz order.

Now we will toggle the order of our fuzz and reverb to see how they differ.

1:42 – 1:54 Bypass riff B.

Let’s quickly check the bypass signal again with a different riff.

1:55 – 2:17 Frybread Fuzz no reverb.

Here is that same riff with a little grit from Frybread Fuzz.

2:18 – 3:21 Alternating reverb and fuzz order.

Once again, let’s hear that riff while alternating the order of the fuzz and reverb.

Conclusion.

What did you think? To my ear, placing Ghost Ridge after Frybread Fuzz created a more traditional sound. the reverb was more subtle and less reactive to playing dynamics. Transversally, placing Frybread Fuzz after Ghost Ridge created a more expansive reverb that responds dramatically to even slight changes in your dynamics.

 Let’s make some noise!

Now that we’ve explored the possible, let’s go and create the impossible. Visit here for Frybread Fuzz and here for Ghost Ridge.
