GATED REVERB
Gated reverb is ordinary reverb that cuts off abruptly. It was discovered by Peter Gabriel when
setting up a drum sound. Some noise gates were still connected to some mixer channels that
had reverb going through them. When the drum was hit, the reverb decay on these drums was
being stopped dead by the noise gates creating a dramatic sound where you get just a short
burst of reverb after the sound. With the careful adjustment of reverb decay time and noise
gate parameters, he found you could add a very controllable amount of dynamic ambience
around the sound where the drum has dense ‘space’ around it but the reverb doesn’t hang
over into the next beat. The EB16 multi-effect processor offers two variations on this effect:
The first, GATED 1, ‘looks’ like this:
PRE-DELAY
TIME
The initial sound is heard and then, after a time set by the PREDELAY parameter, a dense
reverb sound is heard which cuts off abruptly. GATED reverb is selected in the RVB EFFECTS
TYPE page and its parameters are:
PREDELAY sets the time before the reverb is heard after the direct signal. TIME sets the
length of the effect. DIFFUSE makes the effect denser or more ‘grainy’
