I recently bought a brand new Digitech Digiverb pedal and I can't quite achieve what I want from it. Mainly because when I activate it, my signal decreases quite substantially. Is this normal for a reverb pedal? I mean, I didn't expect a massive boost to the signal (afterall, it's not that kind of pedal), but I did want the signal to increase slightly.

(And yes, I have the level on the pedal set to full).

Is it to do with where it is on my chain? Or is this just a common trait of reverb pedals?

My first thought is that it could down to where the pedal is in yr chain...

No mention of signal loss on Harmony Central: DigiTech Digiverb: Harmony Central User Reviews

Does sound like quite a cool pedal though.

It's a beautiful pedal, but I'm desperate to get what I want from it! It wasn't exactly cheap.

I have quickly pottered about with the chain, but I guess I'll have to give it more time to find out what the problem is and where in the chain it should go.

yeah def check out your chain, also, when you put some pedals to full it actually reduces the signal level aka boss pedals, lots of people think distortion etc at 10 means louder, when in fact it dilutes the signal

do you stick it through the effects loop on your amp?

aye stick it in the loop...then you should be able to successfully mix the dry signal from the amp with the reverb in the loop.

Actually, no I don't. I'll certainly give that a try though!

Good shout.

Is it better to have reverb before or after delay in your chain. At the moment i go Guitar-Tuner-Tubescreamer-DD3 but i'm thinking of getting the EH Holy Grail so i was wondering where to place it. Any advice?

Or am i ultimately better taking the delay and reverb and putting them in the effects loop? I'd also need to know which way round to position them there though.

How good is the Digitech one out of interest?

I really like it, despite not having used it to it's full effect yet. I prefer it to the EH one. I find that pedal to be too limiting.

Read some of the reviews in the link that Jan posted.

tc electronics reverb is another option if you cant get what you want from either

Ultimately if you want a proper spatial effect you need the reverb after the delay, but putting it in before the delay can be interesting, I sometimes do both in the same effects chain with different settings on both reverbs...
