The Reverberation Station is a reverb pedal from Deadbeat Sound, described by Pedal of the Day as "a multi-dimensional effect unit that utters one simple but powerful word: REVERB"1. It offers nine reverb modes, covering the standard room-and-plate territory players expect alongside less common options like Lo-Fi, Gate and Reverse, all in a vintage-inspired shell1.
The nine modes
Pedal of the Day described the pedal as "boasting a simple but effective control section for each of these 9 modes"1. The modes break down like this:
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Plate | Studio-style plate reverb, one of the classic settings1 |
| Mod | Adds "a bit of warbly chorus to the 'verb"1 |
| Church | Large, church-style reverb space1 |
| Hall | Hall reverb1 |
| Room | Room reverb1 |
| Spring | Spring reverb1 |
| Lo-Fi | Degraded, characterful reverb; Pedal of the Day found "lo-fi gets just plain weird"1 |
| Gate | "Cuts off abruptly, if you don't want a long, drawn out ending"1 |
| Reverse | Backwards-style reverb; "always fun, too, giving an element of surprise to any unsuspecting listener"1 |
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day featured the Reverberation Station on 15 November 2018 as part of its week-long Deadbeat Week series, and its reviewer highlighted the pedal's less conventional modes: the pedal is "accompanied by some out-of-the-box reverb selections, which really make this pedal stand out"1. The reviewer summed up the package by saying "this effect enclosed in a vintage-inspired shell will bring all of your ambient dreams to fruition"1.
Josh Scott of JHS Pedals, writing about extraordinary reverbs, singled out the same mode: "It features a lot of the classic settings, but the reverse reverb on this is really, really spectacular"2.
