Tourmaster Reverb...

[TheGrooveking]

Is the reverb on the Tourmaster before or after the effects loop?

Let's try one more time to get an answer, I've asked elsewhere but no one seems to know.

I think after makes the most sense, but I actually have no real authority to answer this question.

Try calling the shop at 248-541-9100.

Neither of us remember Bruce was going to look at the schematic today.

The reverb is pre-loop. I just bought a Tourmaster, but now I'm a little concerned none of the Egnater guys can answer this.

So if you put a delay in the loop the signal already might have reverb on it before it hits the delay? Id think Id want something like reverb last.

Right. With the tourmaster, the delay will be hit with with a wet signal if you've got the reverb on. The order of reverb/delay themselves doesn't matter much, but we normally want them both at the end of the chain. If reverb and delay are the only effects involved, as in your scenario, the only difference is that if the chain is spring-reverb-> Delay, the ratio of reverb to dry signal in each repeat will be the same as the initial attack. If its Delay-> spring-reverb, the portion of reverb will decrease with each subsequent repeat. This is due to the relatively responsive nature of spring reverb, but you and the thousands of screaming fans you play for will hardly notice.

Now if you have any non-time-based effects in your loop you might have a better reason to wish the reverb was post. It would be a good question for Jeff to explain the reason for putting it pre.
