That is also true for modern vocal recordings. The sound is recorded so dry that it sounds like absolute crap, no matter how good the singer is. Then the audio engineer switches on the effects chain which includes reverb and delay and it sounds amazing.

I play string bass (started out on violin, though). And for some reason, a gymnasium amplifies a string bass like tenfold! Hard to hear myself when playing in a concert band. But then in the gymnasium we used to play in, I would actually have to play quieter, because of this! (And the reverb on the string bass ruled! 🙂)

The plate isn't perfect, can't be. The digital reproduction of reverb can be perfect, but you could program in some imperfections, but there's going to be a wide gap between the two. I think it's like the "warmness" in Vinyl, it's due to random imperfections of the material and reading of the material that's very hard to get right digitally. I'm sure you could get close with a very weird and very convoluted process, maybe even a neural net trained on an actual plate, but it's just so much easier to use a big old plate.

Rob, I'm an old guy, I've seen a lot, and what I love about you is that you remind me in some ways of Frank Zappa. Not the crazy part, but the musician part. Zappa could play almost any instrument and you have that same kind of love of and fascination with music! You love every aspect of it, you don't just want to play guitar... you want to learn everything about everything. You don't want to just play an electric guitar you want to know everything about every type of guitar and you want to help other people understand that too. Without a doubt you run the absolute best guitar channel on KZread. I watch others and some of them are great for specific things like how to repair a guitar, or the best comparisons, but for overall knowledge I love to watch your channel. It's never boring. It's always fascinating, and I've sat through really long videos which seem to go so quickly that I was amazed. So whatever you do please don't stop!

This is an INCREDIBLE piece of work, man...you ask the right questions, do the right "experiments". THANK YOU!! I'm an Aerospace Engineer/Physicist that is amateurishly dangerous with music and hardware...and you have exposed the heart of the reverb subject: physics of waves, and using electrical signal processing to fu$k with it in such cool, expressive ways. You weave the thread of history perfectly with this line of thought. Wow. I'm jealous of the fun you had!!😁🤓😁🤓

Artists who freely share advice, technology, and techniques are the foundation of the world

When I was a young kid, my grandparents had a new 1966 Mercury Monterey that had a spring reverb for the radio from the factory. It was turned on or off by a floor switch next to the headlight dimmer switch. If you turned it on and drove over a rough road the springs would pop and twang through the speakers. I was fascinated by the sound effect. I have never seen another installation like it since. I love that some artists are going back to the old school electromechanical effects. Some things just can't be reproduced by computers.

I’ve known about “plate” reverbs all my life but never SAW one or really understood how they worked. Thanks! In the mid 70s the singing group I travelled with carried a 4 foot tall “spring” reverb. Touch it, and it sounded like a bomb had gone off!

2 and a half minutes in my mind is already blown. I love how you go into these things kinda blank and let the knowledge wash over you. You're also incredibly apt at both finding the right people to explain these concepts and asking the exact correct questions to nudge it out of them. Also on topic: I once accidentally drank an entire bottle of vanilla flavoured rum and ended up playing my guitar on the toilet and it sounded amazing. Always thought it was the rum, but now I'm gonna retcon that into attributing it to the reverb.

You need your own coffee table reverb.

Then slap a tabletop on it for protection when not in use, unless you want to stand it up on end and store it that way.

Everything except the actual waves in air are analogies to sound. Wether it is electric, mechanical, magnetical or numerical is secondary. Digital is analog.

This reminds me of those toy microphones you could buy at a toy store. I used to be so fascinated by them as a kid. But it's just a spring inside of a plastic casing. Which is still kind of fascinating.

I'm a sheet metal worker, mostly making and hanging ductwork, but whenever I get my hands on a flat piece of sheet metal I always ripple it to make the noise. It's crazy how many different noises or reverbs you can get from different sizes of metal and the amount of ripple you put into it. This all of course without instruments, they add a whole nother level.

As a cigar box guitar builder one of my favorite tricks is adding a few different sized springs into a box to get a rich deep reverb out of a small cigar box guitar. It has a tendency to make them sound as though they have a bit more resonance and it REALLY shines with a disk piezo in the box to amplify it. This makes me want to try to add a mechanical switch that could dampen or stretch the spring while playing to mess with the sound...

Fun fact: the BBC Radiophonic Workshop made the original TARDIS sound effect by dragging a key over a spring with a few analog effects. They also used analog synth to do many other effects and the soundtrack. Good vibes.

I imagine this recording doesn't do the in house experience of it justice; being there LIVE, hearing, and especially FEELING that sound must have been incredible. This is so awesome to see in action the unsung hero of audio recording and fidelity: Reverb. Especially in an analog situation as close as you can get without having to use a large, spacious acoustically efficient environment. Absolutely amazing.

That light pedal sounds dank as hell! And the moisturiser... man everything about this is cool af!

Both of those are relatively recent - but agreed - awesome! I was looking at them last week and its great to see them showup here!

12:26 might be the hardest I’ve laughed in my life lol

What a treat of history, sights and sounds. Thanks!!!

This is such a fantastic blast of music fun. Great work all involved. 🤘

19:52 That Vibrato machine is just an experience! The vibing is deep!

Oh how I missed these videos. These videos are easily my favorite content of yours. I like learning the history and stuff behind things we hear all the time.

This is SUPER COOL man. Real plate reverb is amazing! It can be emulated sort of but emulations can't really capture all of the tonality and ambulate frequencies. Just so nice. Amazing looking guitar too, Rob

Dude, thank you for this video. This is history, ingenuity, and hopefully the future. This is what the kids need to know. I appreciate watching you guys just play with sound.

My mom used to be in a church music program and they’d practice in a massive room. And this brought me wayyyyy back to when she used to bring me with her.

Check out dark ambient or isolation ambience.

The plate reverb sounds incredible, beautiful and just so authentic. I gotta hear some Midwest Emo with that haha. Awesome episode heard & learned a lot!

That part where he uses the faders back n forth with the Spring and plate is absolutely beautiful. The frequencies they accentuate give the reverb a melody of its own

These videos are so much more fun, engaging and informative than I’d find a “real” video on the history of reverb to be. Keep up the great work Rob, these videos where you check out weird musical stuff are the best!

The way Rob looks into Jim’s eyes as he played the guitar with the reverb for the first time, literally melted my little heart 🥰

Yet another amazing video Rob! :) Really great stuff.

These vids are super informative and interesting! You kick ass Rob!

Apart from this being one of the most complete overviews of what reverb is and has been that I have ever seen, I love how giddy everyone is from getting to meet and interact with actual people irl. This inspires, both musically and emotionally. Thank you!

This is so interesting! The history behind all the knobs that I use on a daily basis. Makes more sense and I actually appreciate what I'm doing now.

One of the most interesting videos I've seen in awhile pretty awesome I did not know this existed, thank you

Wonderful, very interesting, love these video types that you've been doing, Cheers !

When they stood in front of that plate all there voices changed. That's pretty wild

KZread doesn’t have a right to copyright strike over Misirlou, it’s an ancient melody.... definitely out of copyright laws there

That plate reverb sounds so beautiful. I was not expecting that ♥️

Plate is the GOAT.

Man, this was so nice and interesting to watch! Did not know that the plate and spring were/are used so much like this. The sounds are super familiar from so many songs.
