Hi All,
Been doing sound for my band at a monthly restaurant gig since January this year. Its a local-musician consortium with a backline - drummer, bass (me) and guitarist - where we back up anywhere up to 16 guest musicians of all types of backgrounds and experience levels. We quickly outgrew my Mackie FX12 board so I picked up a Mackie 1604-VLZ3 this week. Now I need a simple reverb unit.
What would you folks recommend as a simple reverb unit to get the job done in this small venue? As a bass player my experience with reverb is some home recording and using the built-in reverbs on my Mackie 12FX board over the past 6 months - so something that sounds decent, isn't too big (tabletop-small box would work) and has a few adjustable reverb options. I'll feed this through one of the aux sends on the board - tested with some home pedals and they are working fine - but read online not to use guitar pedals as they aren't working at line level and will break up under load.
We'll probably have up to 6 mics working at any time - only putting reverb on vocals. Guitarists have their own effects. Not mic'ing the drums.
Thanks in advance all! learning a lot here.
