Reverb/Echo

[GregoryB]

Hey guys, I have a bit of a n00b question to ask:

what's the difference between reverb and echo?

Thanks!

Reverb (reverberation) is the sound of reflections from the walls, floor, and ceiling in a room.

Echo is a repetition of the original signal.

Different designs simulate these sounds in different ways, and advertising tends to use the two terms interchangeably.

im a big fan of reverb and use it more or less all the time
i also like to use chorus and flange but not together
