hall reverb

Hall reverb is a reverb type that simulates the sound of large reverberated spaces such as cathedrals and halls, where the decay seems to go on forever¹. It became popular in the 1980s, made possible by digital signal processing². Hall reverb appears as a mode on many pedals, often alongside plate and spring types³, and is typically controlled with decay time for perceived size and damping for the tail's top-end EQ⁴. At extreme settings it tends to emphasize high-octave content⁵, and some designs extend it with octave-up shimmer or feedback effects⁶.
