The Outlaw Effects 24K Reverb is a compact reverb pedal with three reverb types, Room, Plate and Spring, chosen with a three-way toggle switch, and three knobs: Reverb, Tone and Decay. Guitar World's 2015 review lists an average street price of $891.
Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Reverb | Sets the amount of effect present in the signal path, or how intense the reverberation is at any given time2 |
| Tone | Adds in or takes away the high end frequencies, easily adjustable in any setting2 |
| Decay | Controls the echo of the reverb, how long it lingers after you play a note or chord2 |
| Mode toggle | Three-way switch to select between Room, Plate or Spring reverbs1 |
Pedal of the Day's Mike B called the Mode toggle "the real bread and butter of this pedal"2.
The three modes
- Room: sets the feel of a small room, with the echoes bouncing off all four walls and coming back to you2
- Plate: seeks to emulate the fatter, thicker reverb sounds classically produced in the 60's and 70's2
- Spring: sounds like you're playing through a famous tube amplifier from days past2
What reviewers said
Guitar World reviewed the 24K Reverb in 2015 alongside the Quick Draw Delay and Five O'Clock Fuzz, and praised the plainly labeled controls: "With Outlaw Effects, Tone is a tone knob, Sustain means sustain. Kudos, Outlaw!" The same review described the enclosure as "a hardy aluminum that's well suited for gigging"1.
Pedal of the Day found that each mode sounds good overall, with useable settings for all of them2. The pedal was also demoed on the Demo Rock pedalboard by West Coast Pedalboard2.

Questions
Is the Outlaw Effects 24K Reverb true bypass?
Yes. Guitar World's 2015 review of the 24K Reverb, alongside the Quick Draw Delay and Five O'Clock Fuzz, notes that each pedal features staggered input/output jacks, top-mounted 9-volt power jacks and true-bypass switching. True bypass means the pedal's circuit is taken out of the signal path entirely when it is switched off.
What reverb types does the Outlaw Effects 24K Reverb have?
It has three reverb types, selected with a three-way toggle switch: Room, Plate and Spring. Pedal of the Day describes Room as a small room with echoes bouncing off all four walls, Plate as the fatter, thicker reverb sounds classically produced in the 60's and 70's, and Spring as playing through a famous tube amplifier from days past.
How much does the Outlaw Effects 24K Reverb cost?
Guitar World's August 2015 review lists an average street price of $89 for the 24K Reverb. Street prices move over time, so that figure reflects what the pedal was selling for when the review was published.
Does the 24K Reverb run on 9 volts?
Yes. Guitar World's review notes that the pedal has a top-mounted 9-volt power jack. The review does not give a current draw figure, so check the maker's documentation before sharing a power supply with other pedals.
What does the Decay knob do on a reverb pedal?
Decay controls how long the reverb lingers after you play a note or chord. Short decay settings sound like a small, close space, while longer settings let the reflections ring out. On the 24K Reverb, Pedal of the Day describes Decay as controlling the echo of the reverb and how long it lasts.
