Death By Audio Reverberation Machine Review | Delicious Audio

Death By Audio's Reverberation Machine is a reverb pedal that defies traditional expectations, offering a unique blend of shimmering highs and cavernous lows. Its versatility shines with an "Altitude" control that adds gain, transforming tones from chime-like clarity to haunting echoes. The pedal's original design and expressive soundscapes are reminiscent of other Death By Audio creations, making it a powerful tool for musicians seeking more than conventional reverb effects. While it may not suit purists looking for classic reverb emulations, it's a standout for those craving sonic exploration.

Death By Audio Reverberation Machine review on pedal-of-the-day.com

pedal-of-the-day.com

The Death By Audio Reverberation Machine offers a unique blend of classic reverb and innovative features, such as the Altitude knob, which adds gain to the signal for a warm drive. The pedal allows extensive wet/dry signal blending and has two EQ modes, Bright Sunshine and Dark Star, enhancing its versatility. While the pedal excels in creating "synthetic atmospheres" and is a treat for fans of multi-use pedals, it might not appeal to purists seeking traditional reverb sounds. Overall, it's a creative tool that caters to those looking to experiment with reverb effects beyond the conventional.

Digital Monster

The bright mode isn't going to give you that classic drip sound (if that’s what you’re looking for) but it has its own very nice twinkly trails. It can easily get you a psychedelic, surf, spaghetti western-like feel.

The dark mode sounds fantastic. It opens up your guitar signal with a warmness I’m not sure I’ve heard before with a reverb pedal. Also, when cranked it basically becomes Godzilla.

The altitude knob is badass and all and could definitely allow you to free some space on your board by replacing an OD or preamp pedal, but I usually prefer it just slightly engaged in my setup. I typically run overdrives after reverb anyway to get dirty.

To simply put it, this pedal is a monster. Without a doubt.

Unconventional but still versatile

Be careful with the middle knob (triangle) as it is a gain knob. i usually leave mine at 5 because past noon it can be harmful to your speakers. Very nice experimental sound.

Hi, Alex! I wanted to ask you about other pedal in your collection: do you still own the Waveland? I wanted to know your impression, I'm interested about it just for the phasing, I would appreciate your review (by now I have a Script Phase 90 and a MOD-5, the Waveland would solve the two facts for which I have both: the regular size of the MXR for when I don't need the ramp ability of the Dedalo, in the demos the ramping of the Alexander seems to work very nice –even when you cannot tweak its transition as in the old green Keeley Phaser). Cheers!
