The Broughton Audio Resound is a digital reverb pedal built for pedalboard use. Broughton Audio describes it as a professional digital reverb that is amazing for guitar, bass, and even as an effect on live mixes or record1. A mode switch selects from three reverb styles: Hall, Room, and Plate, and the maker says the controls let you make anything from subtle reverb all the way to deep cavernous tones that completely swamp your signal1.
Controls and modes
The pedal keeps its control set simple. The level knob ranges from 100% clean to 100% reverb, so it can sit behind your dry tone as ambience or run fully wet as a send-style effect1. The mode switch selects the reverb style:
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hall | Hall-style reverb |
| Room | Room-style reverb |
| Plate | Plate-style reverb |
The Plate mode carries over in spirit to the related Cusack Resound V2, where Cusack Music describes program 2 as rich textured plate reverb sounds, from dark to bright2. The two pedals share the Resound name, and Premier Guitar reviewed the Cusack version as a digital reverb unit with exceptionally strong fundamental tones3.
Power and board use
The Resound requires a 9V DC power supply, which is not included, on a standard Boss style connector with center negative polarity1. It can also accept higher voltages, up to 24V, though Broughton Audio notes that the reverb headroom is unchanged at those voltages1. Current draw is approximately 50 mA1.
The pedal takes a 9V DC supply with a standard Boss style center negative connector, and no supply is included in the box. At approximately 50 mA, check your power supply's per-output current before sharing an output with other pedals1.
Warranty, returns and availability
Broughton Audio covers its products for one year to the original owner, and asks that warranty repairs be arranged by email to sales@broughtonaudio.com1. For returns, the maker's policy is to email within 7 days of receiving the product; a refund is issued minus shipping cost when the pedal is received in new condition, and the customer pays return shipping1.
As of 26 October 2026, the Resound was listed at US$225.00 on the maker's product page1. Broughton Audio ships internationally via Canada Post, with the shipping cost appearing at check-out1.
Questions
Is the Broughton Audio Resound true bypass?
Yes. Broughton Audio states that the Resound has a true bypass switch, so when the pedal is off, your guitar's signal passes through without the reverb circuit in the path. That matters on a pedalboard where you want the effect gone completely when it is switched out.
Is the Resound an analog or digital reverb?
The Resound is a digital reverb. Broughton Audio describes it as a professional digital reverb that works for guitar, bass, and even as an effect on live mixes or recordings. Premier Guitar's reviewer likewise called it a digital reverb unit with exceptionally strong fundamental tones.
How much current does the Broughton Audio Resound draw?
Broughton Audio lists the current draw as approximately 50 mA. That is modest by digital reverb standards, but it is still more than many simple analog pedals draw, so it is worth checking against your power supply's per-output budget before adding it to a daisy chain.
What is the warranty on the Broughton Audio Resound?
Broughton Audio covers its products for one year to the original owner. For warranty repairs, the maker asks that you email sales@broughtonaudio.com. Returns are handled through the same address: email within 7 days of receiving the product, and a refund is issued minus shipping cost when the pedal arrives back in new condition, with the customer paying return shipping.
