Title: Pedals in front of the Revibe
Post by: Skip Hagey on October 17, 2016, 02:52:14 pm

What might be the pros and cons of using pedals in front of the revibe?  Could it overload the signal enough to adversely affect the revibes effect on the front end of the amp it is plugged into, ie making the reverb, lets say, get to intense or unmanageable? It just occurred to me that an overdriven signal might not respond well at the front end of the revibe...I understand that i should just try it and see what I get, but I was thinking a little more about theory, and I might not have or present all the combinations available. Thanks, Skip

Pedals will likely overdrive the revibe unit causing an unpleasant output sound. I just spent a lot of time dealing with a distorted revibe output due to a guitar with active pickups.

Does the revibe work well in a serial effects loop?

The revibe is designed to work with instrument level signals.
