Reverb occurs when a sound hits any hard surface and reflects back to the listener
at varying times and amplitudes to create a complex echo, which carries information
about that physical space. Reverb pedals or effects simulate or exaggerate natural
reverberations.
What is the difference between reverb delay and echo in sound effects?
Delay is one or more distinct sound images. ... Stand in a huge room and yell
"hello." The very first sound you hear reflected off the walls is an echo.
That echo quickly turns into reverb as the sound is reflected off a second, third, and
fourth surface. Think of delay as a single copy of the sound at a later time.
