Reverb Pedals In Parallel For Epic Tones [Like Jeff Buckley Did]

99 per cent of the time your pedals are in series… well what about parallel?

Welcome to the show! Daniel was inspired to approach this topic after watching an interview with Andy Wallace, the music producer whose credits include one of our favourite albums of all time: Grace by Jeff Buckley.
Thusly we walk through the sounds and practicalities of using reverbs in parallel courtesy of a couple of devices that enable the split to happen in that way. We begin with an ostentatious three-amp rig (welcome to That Pedal Show) before shrinking down to a more typical one-amp rig.

Enjoy the show!
